It's been two months since our move downunder and we're packing up. We're moving house. Our stay in the hospital accomodation had come to an end and we're moving into our own space. A townhouse close to the beach. It will be a new running terrain to explore and I'm looking forward to it.

A special birthday |

None of us wants to get older. It's good to receive gifts and acknowledgement on a special day. My sisters always remind me that 'age is only a number'. Jolina is celebrating her special day tomorrow (the big 40!!!) and I want to wish her all the best and a truly enjoyable day. Many many happy returns. Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. A life filled with friendship is a good life. I feel truly blessed to have you as a friend. Have a great day! With love.

Hopefully by now, everybody has notice the new edition to my page. It's called Photo Map and it will give you an indication of my morning runs and the surrounding area. So, please feel free to have a look. The map software was added by Thomas, but it is all thanks to my Garmin Forerunner that we could add the detail. (And yes, thanks to Radiotherapy QE, UK for the perfect gift) Thank you to everyone who makes time to view my site, but please feel free to leave comments or add some spice to the Forum topics. Also leave your e-mail address so that I can get in touch. And Ben, how do you like the shoulder track in the new BodyPump? Wicked hey?

New pictures had been uploaded in the photo gallery. Magnificent views of Cape Town, Cape Point and Franschoek. There's pictures of the family, our stopover in Singapore and our new home in Australia.

Half the year has gone and one has to wonder where the time had gone. Do you still remember that objectives or 'new years resolutions' you set yourself to achieve this year? I still remember mine and got a bit side-tracked with the move to Australia. I can confirm that I am getting back on track. I have a marathon to prepare for in four weeks and I have of course recently joined a gym as well. Lets make the last half of the year count and try to achieve some of our objectives.

A special mention |

I just have to introduce Aoife (a Cork lass) to you. Now the reason why Aoife needs a special mention is because she made a decision that will probably change her life. Aoife has decided to stop smoking and live healthier. Her wish is to loose some weight before she starts her permanent job in September. We wish her lots of luck and she'll keep us posted on her progress. Another special mention is Angie. She is the membership consultant at Beach House gym that I've just joined. She's a keen Football (soccer) supporter. Somewhat disappointing is the fact that she supported Barcelona in the Champions League final against Arsenal. We'll forgive you for that Angie and good luck with your soccer game tonight.

We all have dates that's special to us. Birthdays or anniversaries. Happy or sad memories. June 16th means alot to many South Africans. Not only is it a public holiday (Youth Day), but it's the day that many South African runners take to the road between Durban and Pietermaritzburg to enjoy an 89km 'fun run' as Comrades. We remember the young people that died across the country in our struggle to democracy in South Africa. My only brother, Lionel, was born on June 16 1979. He would've been 27 now. He was taken from us 6 years ago, but his memory lives on in our hearts.Happy birthday Lionel, Esmond Zimri, Alex Botha and everybody else who celebrates a special event.

As I watch the German opening ceremony to the World Cup Football, I can't help but look forward to the 2010 Championship that will be hosted by my country. I am looking forward to displaying our culture and colourfulness to the world. It will be such an honour to have the world's greatest football players on our soil. I'm hoping to be there, and I sure hope you will too. Let's enjoy this event and be positive about our abilities to shine in 2010.

I have brought my Swedish partner, Thomas home recently. Yes, home to Ravensmead. It was his first visit to South Africa and also the first time he's met any of my family and friends. I am proud to say that he had an enjoyable time with me in Ravensmead. We're moving to Australia now, but my roots are firmly planted and not likely to be changed. Take pride in who you are and especially where you come from. Thank you ravensmead.co.za for linking me. Stay tuned for some gorgeous pics of Cape Town and our short break at home.
