Super Busy having Super times...

The past two weeks have been awesome as far as activities and extra work activities goes...

Two Saturday's ago I got a call late in the afternoon from a mate, asking if i wanted to go off road biking on the Sunday? A no brainer! I accepted after checking with the department of home affairs. All was good!I hadn't ridden bike since I was a teen, so the nerves came back in the beginning, but near the end and around 5 or 6 turns at eating dust in a big way and 1 count of getting stuck in a bog, i started to get the hang of it. I slept very well that evening!!! I awoke the next morning, and a couple of mornings (+/- 6) after with a stiff neck and sore muscles. A good workout.

I also got the opportunity to watch two matches of the Confederation's Cup live! The first being the game against USA and Italy and the second being Brazil vs USA. (No not the final). Both awesome experiences though. If this is an indication, then the 2010 World Cup is going to be absolutely amazing!

I finished work today for the school holiday's, well almost, just three day's of winter school for the matrics next week and then I'm done. Then a two week break in the Cape! That is enough to make anyones day, week, month or year if you know the Cape!

The Boks played the B&I Lions in the first test, and beat them... Go Bokke!
The emerging Boks played to a draw against the B&I Lions in the same week!
The Boks play the second test tomorrow.. gonna win again!
Bafana Bafana made the Semi-Finals of the Confederation's Cup and truelly did us proud! Losing 1-0 to a full strength Brazilian outfit in the 88th minute is NO disgrase! the sound coming out of the stadium when the South African National Anthem was sung could only have given you goose bumps!

That's it in a nutshell... update soon!

Still alive...

Yes people, all six followers, I am still alive!

Time just seems to be flying by. I have neglkected this blogging thing over the past few weeks and have not mentioned much about my overseas trip to the UK, which I've been back a month from already. Time just honestly seems to be flying by.

The trip was absolutely awesome!!!!! I really had a great time. Wales was great, all the places we saw were great! I enjoyed seeing Wales though, I was surprised by what I saw. I didn't expect that at all. Edinburgh is also an awesome city, another place I enjoyed visiting and spending far too little time at. Ninnles, you are definately lucky to be living their at the moment.

I got a chance to catch up with one of my good school mates while in London. Stephen, thanks for an awesome time at the little pub up the road. (Not that Stephen reads my blog). I'll post some photo's sometime.

The Confederation Cup starts this weekend, and will be attending a game or two next week - totally looking forward to this....
