Sharon’s Mountain Bike
Sunday was an exciting day as we loaded Sharon’s new mountain bike (as well as mine of course) onto the car and headed for Giba Gorge. Sharon was noticeably nervous having not ridden a bike in 10 years but I was confident she’d be fine. After a quick tire pump, and a couple of high …
Hand Lining Trout
The plan for Sunday had been a fishing trip for Nick’s birthday, but WeatherSA (those bastards) had predicted cold fronts and Armageddon so we’d called it off. Then an amazing thing happened, we woke up to the most beautiful day. WOW! They’d gotten it wrong…when has that ever happened before (where’s the sarcasm font?). Anyway, …
Netherlands Vs Japan – World Cup 2010
After not managing to procure any tickets for myself, I was beaming from ear to ear after my mom phoned me during my Saturday morning trip to the farmers market. I gulped down my falafel and headed home to get ready for the event. This involved digging through my cupboard for a very mank smelling …
World Cup Opening Game
The weekend started with a bang! We finished work at lunch time and all headed for the canteen which had been converted to a fan park. The World Cup opening ceremony was on at 2pm so we all watched as South Africa showed the world what we’re made of. It was rather impressive, and I …

The ECR Big Walk
On Sunday morning we headed down to Durban for the ECR Big Walk. The plan was to park at the finish and then catch a bus back to the start; It seemed like a good idea until we arrived and realised their planning was possibly not what it should’ve been. The parking lot had a …
Baha’s Back!
Saturday was a rather exciting day for me as I stepped onto a squash court for the first time in over 6 months. I was a little worried about my Achilles even though I’d experienced no pain over the past few months. Thankfully I quickly forgot about it (well mostly) as I played Sharon for …
Back On The Squash Court, Post Achilles Op
Saturday was a rather exciting day for me as I stepped onto a squash court for the first time in over 6 months. I was a little worried about my Achilles even though I’d experienced no pain over the past few months. Thankfully I quickly forgot about it (well mostly) as I played Sharon for …
Monks Cowl
After much deliberation (due to a lack of leave) I decided at the last minute to take off Monday and have a long weekend. This seemed like a great idea until we started trying to book accommodation and found out everything was full. WTF?! I though kids were back at school? Anyway, Sharon eventually managed …
