People on the right all of a sudden just going at people on the left, automatically assuming their lack of empathy: Projecting much? Charlie wouldn't have wanted empathy, that's woke! Also let's not forget Charlie’s views on what's worth losing to keep all them guns free & out there.

Perfect for a cold winter's Saturday eve in Cape Town with @uncleloo.bsky.social and our two furkids after a horror of a week.

Wild Bill, conqueror of evil Winter thanks to his servants bringing him the offer of a magical heating machine... Well, he just assumed it was for him... because why would it not be.

THE NICOTINE GOSPEL by Sven Axelrad is such a great read... especially on a winter's day with a very sleepy cat companion.

A great birthday gift from great friends. Thank you Karina and John. (It makes it extra special that the main character is also a May 1981 baby!)

Wild Bill, snug as a bug... the only way to be when it's winter in Cape Town.

Incoming polar blast cold front? No problem: I have a cat, a book and a cozy blanket. Pair that with some rooibos tea and we're all set.

Stay warm #CapeTown!

It is winter in Cape Town and everyone needs a cuddly (slightly chunky) cat warmer...

Seeing this magnificent rock when I fly back home makes me slightly teary every time. This beautiful spot in South Africa is home, it holds my heart in Woodstock where my @uncleloo.bsky.social and our two furkids, Wild Bill and Calamity Jane, are.

How lucky am I to have this hunky playwright genius as my person?! Happy anniversary my @uncleloo.bsky.social! Thank you for putting up with my crazy; spoiling me, loving me. You keep me grounded; you are my happy & safe place. Can’t wait to see where another turn around the sun takes our adventure.

A Cederberg cloud story:
Morning clouds... afternoon clouds... I really don't know clouds at all.

(Joni Mitchell would be concerned.)

A little slice of heaven... a cabin in the Cederberg for our anniversary weekend. Silence apart from the sheep in the distance. Not another person in sight. Us, the stars and the woodfire hot tub. Bliss.

Wild Bill and Calamity Jane each got their own crocheted winter blankets... I think Bill approves.

Theatre crit, Marina Griebenow, says MRS. MITCHELL COMES TO TOWN rivals Louis Viljoen’s award-winning THE PERVERT LAURA!

She has very high praise for all involved: Jenny Stead, Aidan Scott, Louis, Kieran McGregor & Natalie Fraser, bravo! A dream team.

Come on Cape Town, come play!

Freshly baked hot cross buns... ready for Easter Sunday! Paired best with @uncleloo.bsky.social's "kerrievis" (curry fish). Happy Easter from South Africa!

Well, (super)naturally. 🤓

Quick size check for the crochet blanket... while Calamity Jane tests it out too: She loves dragging blankets off beds to go for a walk with them. This one does not carry her approval, as it's too heavy & chunky to be dragged off. Jane prefers store bought. 🤭

Wild Bill: "Mom, can we just stay home tomorrow, crochet and ignore the world?"

Me: "Yes my Billy Bear, that's exactly what we're going to do. The project this weekend is finish-winter-blanket while we binge baking shows!"

Wild Bill just gets it!
