Winter in the Cape means rain with the cold. Virtually no substantial rain has fallen as yet with the lovely weather experienced thus far, so here’s hoping that there will be some more rain in the months ahead.

It is hard to believe we are now in the third month of lock down restrictions. Do we even remember what normal life was like before Covid 19?

WHEN IS A DIET NOT A DIET?
Diet culture. Type diet into google and see the hundreds of diet option to choose from. What and how does one choose? Should you be choosing any one of these?
Why diet? Does that make one happier, is it even safe?

JULY IN THE GARDEN
Temperatures have been steadily dropping, and thankfully there have been a few days of decent rain.
July is perhaps the one month in the year that the garden requires the least amount of human involvement, both food gardening as well as flowering plant gardening. The list of plants to plant during July is the shortest list of all the months in the year.
PROPERTY MARKET RECOVERY
COVID-19 lockdown may have certainly slowed the property market down as showing property was not allowed, but early indications suggest that a full recovery is likely soon.
Initial predictions regarding the future of the residential property market as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown have painted a sombre picture but it seems that it was only a prediction.
