I made a few decisions during lockdown. Wait, I made so many! However, this is the most important one. My happiness and peace of mind will never be dependent on anyone. I can see my daughter rolling her eyes and calling me non committal and afraid of love, blah blah blah. None of which is […]

Okay, so Tumi created an entire new playlist for my car. It was a eight hour trip. With an hour break in between. But the music he selected kicked all kinda of ass! So much so that I was not tired at all. We were dancing and singing and laughing all the way there and […]

It’s a odd feeling. Waking up, cooking, listening to music and recording all kinds of mad songs….while life around me carries on. Daddy’s still dead, so many family issues need to be dealt with and it feels like I am slap bang in the centre of it. Always listening and watching. I need a damn […]

This year has been surprising. So many things got turned upside down. Yet, here we still are. Making do with who we are… I always thought, ‘The next album I record will be overseas…’ Yet. Life happened. And here I am recording two albums with a good friend. Amidst making food, family and doing what […]

Anyone at home knows that I take weekends off. So I can have time to myself and not run around cooking and what not. I was sleeping on the couch when Tumi started playing guitar….and 30 minutes later we had a new song. My Mother loves chirping in to help with lyrics. She is convinced […]

It’s really great having Tumi around. Talking nonsense, cooking and making music. It’s a relief also having a friend around so I can know with great certainty, from someone who knows me, that I am not that crazy! We also decided to release a reggae album together. Why not eh? It’s so much fun, that […]

This is Tumi and I doing our musical thang!  I do love reggae and he is brilliant, we get each other. We had a few things that needed to be said. And why not say it while people are dancing eh? We wrote this a few hours ago. My Mother loved being part of the […]

I only ever watch Singing In The Rain when I am very, very, very happy. Over the moon, ecstatic happy. I took my daughter to see the musical a few years ago and she loved it! Right now….I am just grateful. Here’s a song I would sing and do a small jig to. So…good morning […]

Today I miss Daddy. I woke up with this missing feeling that sparked everything else and left me sad in places. Having Tumi around helps. Mostly because he is so cheerful and plays great music. Be the source, I remind myself. I am the source of everything I see around me. Bad days will come […]

I woke up this morning wishing strong arms were wrapped around me.  Looking at my old notebooks didn’t help either. I was such a fool I told Tumi this morning. Lavishing affection on people who never cared or saw me. While I tried my best to prove I was worthy of their love. I get […]
