Easily distracted by shiny things
Heading into winter, my favourite season of the year, there are two sides to it and I embrace both equally passionately: The Cold and Dark, and the Warm and Comfy. I am just as happy to be out in the cold air, in a dark forest, silence thick as the snow, looking for tracks and …

If I want it, I bring it! Even Georgia didn’t stand a chance, it seems! It wasn’t a lot, but it certainly surprised the socks off the Georgians! (Photo not from this snow, but from Germany last winter. I miss the snow there. Photos I took this morning were blurry and dark, as it was …
Read More I bring the snowWas sitting here and felt it come over all gloomy and cold… and BAM, looked out the balcony door and it’s snowing heavily, sideways! Happened so suddenly. Glad the dogs haven’t seen it yet, because they’ll want out 🙂
Read More moar snow!I was cautiously optimistic this morning, after our early morning toilet break – Gina’s poop was… better… showed improvement. But then Azzie went and it started out good, and ended up terrible. So both got their sucralfate tablets (thankfully G ate hers without too much nose turning) with breakfast. *sigh* No idea why Azzie’s tummy …
Read More Another morning, another walkSo. 2015 huh? And still no flying cars. Tesla’s are cool, of course – but they don’t fly…. yet. ISIS are making a concerted effort to f**k the world up. America slips deeper into idiocracy. (That movie is a scary warning, which unfortunately no Americans seem to take seriously) My home, South Africa, begins to …
Read More A New YearHappy snow dogs, lemme tell ya! Day … whatever of Life Without Facebook and I don’t miss it at all 🙂 Finally the snow has come for the winter and hopefully more to come – my dogs were BORN for this, they LOVE it! Even Gina sheds her normally stoic exterior and becomes a nutcase …
Read More First winter snow*rustle rustle* Hello 🙂 I realised I haven’t posted in a while and I wanted to gather myself a bit and put down my thoughts from the last few weeks. * Azzie is coming along very nicely. We seem to have sorted out her tummy issues with careful application of 100% pure pumpkin for …
Read More A mental raccoon momentWoke up this morning and had REM’s song “It’s the end of the world as we know it” running through my mind 🙂 21st December 2012. (21.12.2012 in normal usage… 12.21.2012 for the Americans) I’m hoping the “end of the world” just means an end to the bad and a start of a new age …
Read More End of the world? Just as we know it?Another much better night with Azzie after my husband and I made some compromises with her – I came to some conclusions about myself and about the dogs, and about life in general. Very deep, I know – but it happens sometimes. She slept 4 hours, did her business outside quickly, and then slept another …
Read More Upon reflection…Due to some technical issues, I have unfortunately kinda “lost” my old posts and media. My techno-whiz friend Vanessa (of The Vanessa Macleod Creative Agency ) has done what she can to save my archives (all the way back to 2006!) and they will be available as she gets the chance to import them. But for …
