In keeping with not working full weeks I took Thursday off to go and get my sutures removed and temporary cast replaced with a complete one. My appointment was only at 1pm so Sharon and I took the opportunity to go to SARS and sort out her income tax. It also gave me a chance …
On Thursday morning Sharon and I headed to ‘Maritzburg to pick up a puppy from Arrie. Sadly the puppy wasn’t for us, but for Sharon’s sister’s son (We aren’t allowed dogs in my section of the complex). We got to Arrie’s house at around 8am, had a cup of coffee, and then drove home with …
So just as my knee seems to have come right the shit has hit the fan!! (Oh, and excuse the kak photos, they were taken on my phone while I was hitting it up with morphine!) Anyway, on Tuesday I played my usual league squash match, only this time it didn’t go quite as well …
Sunday was fun-day. I got up at around 5am, packed the fly fishing kit into the Paj, and headed towards ‘Maritzburg (via a coffee shop of course) to pick up Nick. And then it was off to Mavela Dam for my first ever outing on club waters, as a member. We arrived at around 7am …

It was a weekend of chaos, and therefor a weekend to be remembered… Bruce picked me up from the office on Friday and we headed straight for Newcastle to run the Donkey Pass Mountain Challenge. The drive flew buy, and after a quick chocolate milkshake stop we were in our chalet at Chelmsford dam. Although …
After many weeks of no running or squash, I decided I needed to sort my knee problem out once and for all. Although I have a lot of faith that the chiro will cure the pain, I wanted to know what was causing the knee to dislocate; So I headed to Norie Williamson, a running …
After a poor night’s sleep Sharon and I were up, and on our way, to her first 10kms – the Queensburgh 10km. She was nervous, but we got her to the starting line, and soon we were jogging casually down the road. It was an easy start and the first 4kms were all downhill. Sharon …
After much planning and deliberation our epic Lesotho weekend finally arrived. I swung via Western’s place on the way to work and picked up all his kit. After he’d loaded my car to the point where it was nearly bottoming out on the freeway we headed to the office. In just 6 hours we’d be …
