What I Like About You

Hello 2021!
1 January 2021. The rain is falling gently outside today. The cooler weather is a welcome reprieve from the delightful (not) Durban heat we have been experiencing lately. We have had a slow day at home today – playing, watching…
2020 – The year nobody saw coming
Here we are folks – the last day of 2020. Who thought we’d ever get to this day? If I think back to last year this time, I remember hearing so many people talking about how excited they were for…
