  • Granny’s Wednesday Walk

    Hello All. Have just come back from a walk in the nature reserve. The one at the top of the mountain that I come over every day. Entrance is free this week. Any you know how I like a bargain. The QA manager came with me. As we got onto the first path we saw…

  • Granny remembers…and rants

    Hello All. Twenty five years ago my second husband passed away. After twenty months of marriage. He was forty five. Please guys…no sympathy required. I came to terms with his death a very long time ago. I do not dwell on circumstances over which I have no control. However, I think of him. A lot.…

  • Granny’s Monday Meanderings

    Hello All. Any rugby fans out there? I thought not. OK…a few. Probably mostly South Africans. Yesterday, South Africa played Wales in the rugby world cup. We played like idiots. Wales should have won. We scraped through by one point. I have decided that watching international rugby is bad for my health. Towards the end…

  • Granny’s Sunday Shots

    Hello All. Doesn’t that look as though Jasmine has an Oyster Catcher on her head? If it HAD landed on her head she would have fallen into the water in shock. Jasmine is not a brave dog. I wasn’t going to post this weekend. Staying cuddled under the duvet until two o’clock does not make…

  • Granny and ALL is revealed

    Warning!!!!!!!!! The following post might offend more sensitive viewers. Hello All. I am posting early today. Because this post is just bubbling to come out. You all know how I love to laugh. And yesterday, I did. So much so I could hardly hold my camera. We went for our drive. Just outside Simonstown we…

  • Granny and the weather Gods

    Hello All. Took the above pic last evening. Looks,for all the world, as if someone has lost an organ. It wasn’t me. I checked. It was an incredible evening. Positively warm. Jasmine and I spent nearly an hour down there. Just look at those colours. Today the plan is for the quality manager and me…

  • Granny reconsiders

    Hello All. Just wanted to share the above picture with you. That house is almost ON the beach. Notice how close the kelp is. One really big high tide. They had better have water wings. And what is with the row of small windows? Surely when you are overlooking the sea you want bigger windows.…

  • Granny and Spring has sprung

    Hello All. I managed to pull off the road on the pass last evening. Took my life in my hands. Just to show you the proteas. Soon the mountain will be ablaze with yellow proteas. An other pink flowers. No idea what they are. Wish I could pick some. You know how much I love…

  • Granny and a bit of monkey business

    Hello All. We saw this troop of baboons on the way home on Friday. This is only a small portion of them. There must of been at least fifty of them. The alpha male amused me. Sorry the photo is a bit dark. As he walked away from the gate he gave it a hefty…

  • Granny and numbers

    Hello All. So…how many numbers do YOU have to remember? I think my brain is simply going to implode one of these days. I have to remember my banking profile number. Plus pin. Plus password. As I do all my banking via the internet, these numbers are firmly engraved on my brain. Then there is…
