This song was featured on Wosonki somewhere in 2007.
The last few days this song has been creeping up on me, waiting around corners, slipping into shadows, falling into thoughts.
The song is by Kelly Coffey and the words are:
Jenny was my best friend
Went away one summer
Came back with a secret
She just couldn’t [...]

. . . and it made me sad . . .
It was all very confusing and very, very busy. Kids playing with a neglected boy coming on a play date with the god-sons and nobody picking him up afterwards. A new girl at work who paid no attention and didn’t care.
And then there was . [...]

Grietha Maré – Gebore 12 Mei 1949 – Oorlede 17 Maart 2000

Dankie MaGrietha, vir die seun wat jy gehad het en groot gemaak het. Die seun wat my grootste skat op aarde [...]

Seeing as I’m in Clarens on Mother’s day, this thought to my mudder . . .
Unsaid
Author: Unknown
Somehow we always say the least
to those we love the best
And hope our thoughts
are understood.
Although they’re unexpressed -
That’s why it means
so very much,
when days like this are here
To say how very much
you’re loved
each day throughout the year.
Happy Mother’s Day

. . . NOT!
I long for a nice summer holiday anywhere, not specifically at the beach, but just away from home and work and the Xmas rush.
But, as they say: no rest for the wicked, so here I will stay, slaving away. Hmmm, that even rhymes . . .
We’re still pondering the baby-thing: now we [...]

Now for the last stretch of the year. Time to hitch up those panties, readjust the brassiere for comfort and run through the gaps like there’s no tomorrow.
You know the saying: “Christmas is coming“? Well, Christmas is here, people! The shops are full of twinkle and sparkle and gift wrap and toys and sweets and [...]

It amazes me how some women can go on and on and on and on and . . . (you get the picture?) about how bad their husbands are. How their husbands don’t care for them, don’t love them, and don’t cherish them. How their husbands abuse them emotionally and physically. How these men entertain [...]
