This is what I was doing this time last week.
What can I say – life is tough in Africa??
I would rather be doing it now than sitting in the office.

So how do you tell if you have a “doff” cat? I think one of ours is missing (more than) a few brain cells.
Now don’t get me wrong he is absolutely gorgeous and very “special” but I don’t think he is blessed in the brains department.
He can’t seem to walk under our low coffee table [...]

After a rather hectic, funny, embarrassing start to the week things have thankfully calmed down. Well, sort off. The women in the office are now sending me “funny” video clips of people freaking out at mice. Just as well I have a sense of humour????
The only thing with things calming down is that there [...]

This week just seems to be one embarrassing moment after the next!!!!
Yesterday kind off took the cake though. Yes, even more embarrassing than my husband falling asleep in yoga and me getting the giggles!
So what happened? Last night at the gym I was in the ladies changing room getting ready to go and swim. I [...]

I think I mentioned a while back that my husband and I started yoga. We have been going a couple of months now and are really enjoying it. There are a few things that I was worried about and up until now neither of them has happened. (to me). That was until last night! And [...]

I had a triathlon this weekend and thought I had better be better prepared than I am usually, so sitting in front of the TV on Saturday evening I started writing a list of all the things I would need and should remember to pack. Holy crap!!! No wonder I usually forget something. That list was LONG.
There [...]

So how often would you say is too often to check the internet for your exam results? Once a day, twice, what about 5 times? I think 5 times is about right. Lets put it this way, I am about to check for the 2nd time today and it is only 9:30am!
I have results pending [...]

I think I must just get used to the fact that I can either have pretty feet or I can do sport! It is a one or another situation – and I choose sport!
I don’t know what it is with me but I blister, even on the shortest of runs. Not that last night’s run [...]

My dearest Car
You have served me well over the past 6 years, and I would just like to offer my sincerest apologies. Yes, I might have been looking around at other models yesterday. I might have dallied with the idea of an upgraded, younger, nippier, more fuel efficient model but I promise I was only [...]

Ironman South Africa is 20 weeks away – that means that the training program I am going to follow began yesterday. Oops……
Now, I knew it began yesterday; it was not as if I missed the start, it was just, well… I did nothing about it. Besides make a pretty, colour coded Excel spreadsheet. In fact [...]
