On Father's Day this year I was so excited when I received a ticket to the Vodacom Challenge Final. The reason for my joy.... Spurs!!!!! Yes, my team. They were coming to South Africa to play in the tournament.I had seen them play before in the very same tournament back in 2007, and had made a trip to White Heart Lane in London (Spurs home ground) back in 2009. Now two years later, Spurs back in

The common thread in all the pics above... yip... the glue in our family, the one who is always worried about everyone else before herself, the one who has put up with all of the crap that Ihave given her, and it has been a load in the past year! The one who makes sure we are fed, clothed, get to work and school on time . The best Mom that any child could hope for, and I have three children who

As any 17 year old, Kyle has a mind of his own and knows everything. No... it's not that bad really. He also loves being outdoors, maybe not as much as lying on his bed and reading a book though. One thing that could get him off his bed is tennis. He loves playing tennis. He is also very good with his little brothers.

Adam, the mischievous one in the family!!! As I am typing this post, he has come to me with his remote control car and tells me it's not working. That is because he has cut the wire joining the car to the remote... Need I say more? Adam loves being barefoot and outdoors. He also enjoys his bike, but if there is sand to dig in and play with, then he will be there. The youngest in the family and

Devon is in Grade 1 this year and is totally loving school. He loves doing his work and is reading like a real star. Sometimes he drives his Mom and Dad crazy with all the questions about how to spell certain words. That mind is continually working. Swimming and riding his bike are more of his favourite this to do. Once in the water, it is very dificult to get him out... I keep looking for those

I can"t believe that time flies by so quickly!Over a year has passed since the last post... and out of the blue last night my wife says to me that I should start blogging again. This got me thinking back to how much time I used to spend blogging and how much fun I had thinking about what I was going to blog about.Life moves so fast and we get so busy, and before long you have stopped doing the

Yes folks I'm still aliveJust haven't gotten round to the blogging thing.... excuses, excuses... I know.All has been well in Miller land. Little Adam has started his play school, Devon is in the giraffe class at his pre-school (grade 0) and Kyle has started grade 10. We all have hit the year running and it seems like there is no slowing down.My better half is as busy as usual. We pass each other

Well that is what it seems to be at the moment. Things have been extremely busy everywhere, at work and at home.I managed to run a little over the last month, but still not as much as I need to, but hey it has been busy. School holidays have come and gone and it is the final stretch of the school year. During the school holidays we spent a week in Hazyview. It was totally awesome, and we have not

A short post to keep you up to speed on what's been going on in Miller Land lately...Time has been flying by... and I have been playing catch up all the time.I entered Comrades 2010 about a week ago, so now all I need to do is put my A into G and get on the road and start some serious training at some point. A bit too early to set the goals, at this point it is just a finish and being able to

The Spring Hat competition is over for another year. In my last post I attached a picture of this years effort.I am happy, and Devon even more so to report, that we won. That makes it 2 out of three entries... the preasure is on already for next year.... any ideas....

Spring has sprung the grass has riz, or however it goes. Spring is here and it is the good 'ol Spring Hat time at Devon's school. Tomorrow is the day when he has to, along with his school pal's, parade his spring hat. This means that every year we have to get the creative juices flowing and come up with some kind of spring hat... So here it is... this year contribution...

So last Thursday I come around the corner after picking Kyle up from tennis, and I am confronted by a road that is filled with people and cars. I look a little closer and notice that the majority of the cars are stsanding right in front of my driveway. Furthermore, some of the cars are ambulances and tow trucks. Panic starts to set in a little and I park the car and stsart heading on foot to my

This weekend was probably the coldest weekend I've had in a long time. I don't think I can remember it being that cold anytime before. Perhaps it's the age thing. You feel the cold more as you age. That can't be it though as I would then have to admit that I am ageing. Whatever it was, it was freezing. The highest I saw my cars temperature gauge go was 8 degrees, and that was at about half past

Things have been busy and uncontrollable circumstances.... let's leave it at that!In the last month I have been involved in the end of term exams (if you can remember those), just ive been on the marking end which takes a little of my time, and a holiday to the Cape.

The best of all worlds roled into one weekend.

A week has gone since we returned from our overseas trip. HELL it was busy and the time has just flown. This weekend I got to see Devon play a soccer match, not his first as we were away for that unfortunately, but we got to see him play. I think he spent more time standing still or talking to his friend than running after the ball and attempting to kick it. However, I do recall him making

I have a number of bands or individuals that I enjoy their music and lidtening to. Some are from the 70's, the majority from the 80's or 90's and then the current stuff.

The usual senario is that we end up at a mates house if not your own to watch the rugby match which is to be televised on Saturday afternoon followed or preceded, but usually followed by braai.

For those of you who have been following this blog since it's inception or alternatively know my wife, will know that she has a huge fear of flying. This fear is not due to the lack of flying, as she has done this on numerous occasions, it is just a fear that she has.

Just a short note to keep up to date with the goings on in Miller land... a chance to catch up! This past week has been rather busy, with Adam's birthday, a birthday party, family lunch, work and the coffee business. This weekend was rather hectic, well Saturday at least. We arranged a party for Adam at 3pm on Saturday afternoon. The lapa cleaned, chairs set out, TV for the football and rugby

It all seems pretty simple, and so far the client is happy with the machines that have been delivered so far.Training was given to the cleaning staff at the client , as they are the ones who need to fill the machines and clean them ona

This weekend has been wonderful. I got to go to the cricket test match between South Africa and Australia at the Wanderers. I went on Saturday and Sunday.Test matches have really become exciting of late, especially with the top two teams in the world doing battle for supremacy! Every match has its ups and downs or both teams. Tomorrow is the final day of this particular match(battle), and we have

The two words that title this post sum up my day today. The happenings were both unexpected & exciting. You never know what the day holds for you. You never know what the future has in stall for you.I awoke this morning expecting to go to work as usual, once work was finished head home and spend the afternoon visiting our local Spar, and then playing with the kids for a while. Well all was headed

This weekend was something different from the usual weekend in our household. Not much has changed in the sleep department though!Saturday morning I had to get out of bed unusually early to take Mom and Dad to the airport.... off to Cape Town they were... and how I wished it was me! The rest of the day was pretty relaxing, watching some TV, cleaning the outside furniture, potted in the garden and

Sleep - something of a rare commodity in our house of late!There is something going on in household that restricts one from sleeping. Just about a wewek ago Adam was rather sick with those useless things called Tonsils. So Lindsay and I got about 6hours sleep in 3days. Sunday night comes along and Adam finally has a good nights sleep. However, my neighbour decided to braai and play a game of

This post is an update on the holiday to Britain that I'm really looking forward to.So today I learnt that as of the 3rd March this year, South Africans visiting the UK need to in possession of a visa. What this actually means is that if someone doesn't like your face, well then no entry.Ok, it's not that bad, but the decision is out of your hands and lies in the hands of another.... GREAT!

Although I haven't been posting for a while I have still been following the regular blogs I read. Thanks for keeping me entertained. And Faf I'll try not use too many exclamation marks in this post!

So I haven't posted ant photo's for a while. During our holiday in the Cape, on one of the last days we were there, the Trans Agulhus inflatable boat race finished in False Bay on the Strand Beach. I've seen it a couple of times on tv, but this year we managed to see it live. I took some photo's while we were there...

The start to the new year at school has been rather busy, and all is going well. The weekends seem to come around quickly and vanish twice as fast. Before you know it you are back at work and headed for the next one. This weekend we decided to go to the zoo. It is not my favourite place to go after running a 21km two hours before, but hey! It was actually quite enjoyable, and the kids had a whale

I've been at my new job for a week tomorrow. All seems to be going well. There is always that finding your feet and learning the systems phase when starting somewhere new, but all is well. The people I work with seem to be friendly, and a much younger bunch than at my previous place. I watched the inauguration of Barack Obama this evening, that was totally awesome. I can't believe so many people

Once again my running has taken a turn for the worse in the past couple of months. However, I am going to make a concerted effort to maintain the start I have made to this new running season. Comrades is a month earlier this year which means I am about a month behind where I should be. This might take some toll on race day if you are going for specific time goals, so i will only worry about that

The start of a new year means the end of the holiday period and time for the children to go back to school- that means time to go back to work. This year I will be starting a new job- still in education but at a different school. This all happens tomorrow morning. So it's meetings and getting sorted for the new academic year for the next two days before the pupils return on Wednesday morning.

Yip, it is in my possession! My passport arrived. I picked it up this morning. The one in the picture is however not mine - that one looks as if it has been around the world in 80 days. Mine is brand spanking new! This now starts to make my UK holiday just that little more real. I'm all ready to go now! Bring on April!!!!!!

A hang of a lot has happened since the last time I got behind the PC and did any blogging. We have moved into a new year - Happy New Year everyone, I hope it is a good one for you all. I have travelled over 14 hours in one trip to get back home after a wonderful holiday and Christmas with the family! Thanks everyone for making it so memorable and enjoyable. The Proteas have taken a 2-0 lead in

We have been rather busy, hence the lack of postings. Between riding the waves to visiting the malls, to wine tastings and everything in between we have been keeping rather busy. All of which has been loads of fun. A visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium was rather enjoyable, lunch at Diemersfontein, a trip to Kirstenbosch Gardens and Hout Bay have also been keeping us busy. I also got a good look of

The weather has been really great the last couple of days. Hot and sunny, beach kind of stuff!Today has however turned in true Cape style and is overcast and a bit of rain. As this is the case it's off to Canal Walk to do that last minute shopping before Christmas.Yesterday we took a drive to a small town on the west coast, Paternoster, and then down for lunch at Langebaan. Both towns are very

Here at last, 14 hours later!The first day in Cape Town was rather hot! The sun came out and the wind died down. This meant going to the beach and the inevitable, getting burnt to a sinder. Okay maybe not so bad.A visit to the Royale Eatery for a burger and a walk down the street to see Cape Town's city Christmas lights was fun and a special occassion for the kids.The weather is great again today

So I have been rather busy over the past few days. I enjoyed returning to the family in Umhlanga and took some time out to relax looking over the ocean and just enjoying and having time to breathe.We returned from the coast on Saturday, to rush straight out to a friends Christmas Party. Then it was time to catch up on the washing and ironing as we are headed to Cape Town for two weeks to further

No, I have not packed yet and No, my passport hasn't arrived yet. However, today I received some foreign currency as a gift. This will certainly go down well as the exchange rate is rediculous at the moment.I'm off to check, I think it's about

As part of my father's 60th Birthday celebrations, as mentioned before, we (the family) travelled to Umhlanga Rocks on Kwazulu-Natals North coast to be together for the celebration .We woke up this morning with the sun shining brightly and an awesome day planned ahead. We had a photo shoot booked for 8am, breakfast to follow and later on, lunch. After lunch we (Hayley, Francois and myself) had to

Saturday is just around the corner, which means we are off to the coast (Kwazulu-Natal North Coast) for a week. The main reason for this holiday is that my father-in law has a birthday on Sunday. The whole family is getting together for this occassion. He turns 60 on Sunday. When I get to 60 i want to be just as able and active as Dad is. Yes, that is him on the rides at Sun City a month ago when

Just to let you all know that I'm still so excited.......I figured I needed a passport if I was to travel, so today I went and stood in ques at the Department of Home Affairs to apply for my passport.

The Springboks came back home victorious, winning all three matches. This post however is not about those rugby matches but it does have something that is co-incidental with my own life.

I might be guilty of posting about the talking point of the century, but I really feel that this is a defining moment in world politics. Barack Obama winning the US elections has an impact on each and every other country in the world, in some way.He proved this morning that he has what it takes to succeed. He crushed McCain at the poles. This is the most interesting and exciting election I can

"Moving on up" by the M People. Perhaps that could be heard in North East London during the course of the evening. This must be the new found motto of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Liverpool came to town. League leaders at the start of the day. They took the lead in the match and then the mighty mighty Spurs made a comeback. (No the second mighty is not a typing error). Winning the game put

So Spurs have plans for a bigger and better stadium. They have plans to build a 60 000 seater stadium adjacent to White Heart Lane. That is almost double the size of the Lane at the moment. This would increase the revenue the club receives in ticket sales. And yes we can fill that number of seats. Spurs have always been considered one of the big clubs, even though they don't always perform like

So it was up early this morning again as it was Devon's actual birthday today. He was once again so excited. Today he had the opportunity to take party packs to his friends at school and it was his special day.The school does a birthday ring for the kids when it is their birthday. The parents are most welcome to attend the birthday ring. My wife and I were definitely not going to miss this

As posted yesterday, it was off to bed early as it was Kyle's 15th Birthday today. That it was. A birthday party yesterday and my our eldest son's birthday today. It has been quite a busy weekend. So their was no party today, so to speak, just dinner with the family.I think Kyle had a good day, he bought himself some new sneakers for his birthday with the money he received in gifts. He is very

Today was Devon's 4th Birthday party. The rain came down in sheets last night as you might of read in a previous post. When we drew back the curtains this morning my wife and I just lay in bed speechless,to frightened to even mention anything about the weather as it was still overcast. Admittedly it was not raining, but for how long. We pulled ourselves towards ourselves and bit the bullet. I am

I woke up this morning to the news that late last night Oneday (Juande) Ramos had been sacked as the spurs manager along with first team coach Gus Poyet and Sporting director Camolli. This was not a train smash as I had called for this move in one of my previous posts.So a little about Oneday (Juande) Ramos. He had been in charge at Spurs for 364 days, Juande short of a year. He won Juan trophy

So it is about 11pm. The night before my soon to be 4 year olds birthday party. The excitement that has been running around the house has been undescribible. As I am typing away, the rain seems to be falling with no sign of letting up or stopping. It has been raining since about 5pm. The garden sure needs the rain but on the day that my son has his birthday party?????According to the weather

Devon is turning 4 next week and this weekend is his birthday party. What was to be a small affair has turned out to be a party for 24 4 year olds, 2 teenagers and approximately 40 adults. As you can well imagine chaos reigns at our house at the moment. To top it all off we have a birthday boy who about to jump out of his skin with excitement. He heads off to his room every afternoon to make

We so often take for granted how lucky we are from day to day.My family and I have probably the best parents the world has to offer. I married my wife just over 6 years ago, after dating for about 18 months. I had no idea how lucky I was at the time. My son and I were immediately accepted as part of their family, without judgement or questioning.As time has gone on, the bonds that have been

I've just finished one of the most painful experiences a fan has to endure. Spurs vs Stoke City. It wasn't pretty if you are a Spurs fan, as I am. ( I don't know if I should be openingly admitting that). The game ended with Spurs playing with 9 players an injured goalkeeper and 2 goals to 1 down. I have a friend that supports Leeds FC, which could possibly be worse than supporting Spurs, and

Time flies for sure. I haven't been able to access the net for the last couple of days, so that is why no updates have been made on my blog. But hey, hopefully I'm back in action. It's funny how attached you can get to the www, and how much you miss not being able to keep up with the goings on, on sites you regularly visit. I'll be catching up on all of those and looking forward to it. Hopefully

Our house is extremely quiet at the moment and has been since last night. It will remain quiet for the next two or so days. The reason for this unusual silence is that Devon is away. Yes, my four year old is away from home.Devon has gone on holiday early with Granny and Grampa - this can only mean one thing - Trouble. I guess he is being spoilt and allowed to get away with murder at the moment.

My blog will become rather quiet over the next 10 days or so as we are headed to the Drakensberg Mountains for a holiday. I can't wait!!!! Work has been rather stressful over the last couple of weeks, and this holiday is exactly what I need to recharge the batteries for the remainder of the year, or until the next holiday comes around. So instead of blogging I'm going to be taking in the awesome

I just love black and white photo's. They seem to bring something different that I can't explain as I am nowhere near to close enough to call myself a photographer. I came across another blog that had a post with two black and white photographs on it. It reminded me of how much I love taking photo's in black and white. I took these photographs of Adam this evening. I hope you enjoy them as much

Things have been rather hectic in the household of Miller of late. Work has taken up much of my time this last week, thus being the reason the blogging came to a bit of a stand still. But the weekend is here in full swing and that is always a good time to catch ones breath and enjoy family life.Today I tried to spend some time watching Kyle play cricket, as this was his last game of the season.

The move has been made. Just before the close of the transfer window on September 1st, it was confirmed that Dimitar Berbatov had completed a move from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United.As a Spurs fan I was sad to learn of this news. I was ever hopeful in the back of my mind that he would stay a Spurs player. Berbatov made 70 appearances for the club scoring 27 goals. So that is not such a
