OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

Merely the fact of fifteen unsuspended months behind bars gives me a deep sense of satisfaction. Fifteen years would have been even more comforting, but hey, I will take fifteen months just to feel a little bit better about justice in the world.

Especially on a day when I heard that someone I adore lost all her jewellery, including heirlooms from her mother, to a brazen cat burglar who will never be found and brought to justice – not in this country.

Work. Rain. Work. Rain. Work. Rain. That was the rest of Tuesday.

The roof is leaking, but I am still healthy. And someone is going to jail … :))))

Culinary highlight of the day: takeaway lunch and dinner from The Hoghouse. And their irresistible chocolate-chip cookies will brighten my morning tomorrow. Something to look forward to on another rainy winter’s day in Cape Town.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
