Watching the 21yo making his own shopping list:

“Don’t worry, I’ll do your shopping for you while I’m staying with you.”

21yo: edits list to add in organic meat and cheese.

It’s Friday Eve! A fly flew into my mouth while I was drinking my morning coffee and I swallowed it. How’s everyone else’s day going?

Thoughts on parliament so far:

The CITCC looks like a big school assembly. Please can we tack some plastic over the Houses of Parliament?

Did anyone else wonder while watching Melusi Gigaba being sworn in, what level of Candy Crush he is on now?

It’s just happened to me as well. Usual water bill is 649 rand a month. This month? 14000 rand. I’ve taken advice and it’s going to cost more to fight it than just to pay it. I am electric with rage.

I am so sorry. This is where I think we are heading. They can cut it off. Nobody is living in our house. I am sorry Peter. They know who to abuse. It's the shortsighted approach that shocks me. You don't make a municipality successful by breaking rate payers' ability to pay!

I want to do this without dealing with a 16yo’s lost shoe, having to pause to ok a pizza (honey you could order a beehive I wouldn’t care) and where my husbands jacket. No interruptions. I mean it. Don’t even alert me to a fire. It’s winter, I’ll make it work.

I know what I want for Mothers Day. I want to watch a movie from start to finish, including opening and closing credits, all the way down to the key grip, the gaffer and the caterers.

Dear @Eskom_SA please could you come and fix our substation in Rivonia which basically blew up on Saturday? The ref no is: 647192078
We’ve asked the delightful Alfred, the handy chat bot you created, but he is very reticent and apparently no one is coming to fix it. Thanks!

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

Yes it is and bwahahahahahaha!

@mudzy_r I am so terribly sorry you went through that. Racism should be at the top of everyone's list, especially white people. If we don't listen, we can't learn. And if we can't learn, we can't repair.

It's Friday Eve!!!! 11 more until Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

@JimHatch_WV Congratulations! Am 19 years sober, headed to 20, 90 days is huge!

@Flo_Letoaba @ThaboMakwakwa With that punctuation how could you tell?

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

Fun fact, if you want your kids to stop opening the new toothpaste because they can't be arsed to finish the old one, hide the new one behind the new toilet rolls. Ain't no kid or husband going to look for it there.

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

@LukhanyoV I am so sorry you've had to go through this. It's just wrong. If there's anything I can do to support you please let me know.

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

Overheard yesterday.... 'I hate it when people panic buy it is so selfish..' same woman had 11 loaves of bread in the trolley. 😂

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

In the midst of all the gloom, my 14yo told me she is has completed her school project on syphilis complete with pictures and definitions and of all of the 'well done I'm so proud of you' conversations I thought I would ever have, that one never even made the top 100.

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

I had this belief about standard grade algebra. I too was wrong.🤣

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

Some mornings I look in the mirror and feel beautiful and some mornings I look in the mirror and wonder how Keith Richard got into my bathroom.

[samantha cowen @samcowen]

If the 17yo says 'sounds like a you problem' one more time, I'm going to ensure that whatever it is becomes a him problem.
