We had a massive storm on Wednesday. I was a little worried about an Egyptian geese family but thankfully they got through the storm.

Sorry for being a little quiet. The world seems to be upside down, all over, and it's been a lot. In the minutiae of my life, our fridge has a leak somewhere and Ron the repair guy had to tell me we need a new one. We also have loadshedding and every time the power goes off the fridge leaks more. 😭

Loadshedding is back 😔 apparently Eskom didn't get the 30% increase they wanted so now suddenly we don't have enough power. I call bs. How much do you want to bet that they don't turn us on ontime?

These videos are so lovely. They remind me how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place. Also I'm very jealous it seems like the rest of the country has had rain except Johannesburg. It's so hot here.

We decided to have a braai yesterday. It was a little touch and go there for a while because we're not too good with fires but I'm happy to report that it was a success. Good food and good company are good for the soul.

I was feeling a little grumpy last night when we watched the latest episode of Itchy boots. It really got me out of my funk. I am shocked at how beautiful Iraq is (I shouldn't have been)and I can't wait to see the rest of her journey.

Does anyone know where I can watch the French version of HPI? I would like it in French with English subtitles. It's a lovely series but no one has it.

I'm really not looking forward to today. I've got some really hard work ahead of me and I've got to pull some rabbits out of hats and I don't know if I can do it. It also didn't help that I didn't sleep very well because I was worrying about everything. Wish me luck, I'm going in.

To my American friends, you have a long flight ahead of you, this is going to be hard but it is winnable. We have a similar fight in SA. Here's my advice, start at the grassroots level. Go to every municipal meeting, start your own residents association show up at every teeny local election.

Vader has officially been neutered. He's as high as a kite and very cross about the whole situation. I think we need extra treats tonight.

On this day 1843, Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is first published.
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.”

Finally our water is back. I will never take water for granted again. 5 days without water was hectic, that first shower was heavenly. I'm starting to feel like a human again and definitely a lot less grumpy.
