Wow, after being hugely disappointed with the closing of our favourite pub in Oxford Street, we discovered a new pub in Durbanville – Alberto’s Restaurant and Pub in King Street.

Deon and I love Indian food. In Port Elizabeth our favourite restaurant is Royal Delhi, an Indian Restaurant. Since we relocated to Cape Town, we have been searching for an Indian restaurant. Annapurna at Tygervalley is good, but we needed to explore other Indian restaurants as well. Then, not long ago, someone mentioned the Himalayan Asian restaurant in our own … Continue reading →

In search of a good life (Or: A good life found)

I recently saw a post on Facebook which indicates that Heroes adopt animals from shelters, but I want to change that to Very fortunate people adopt heroes from shelters. We have been so fortunate to be able to adopt Leica, a six year old cat, from Tears. His name was then Webster, but we have decided to give him a … Continue reading →
