March resolution

Quick update:

January resolution: being happy > going well
February resolution: wear sexy sleepwear > started off well, but decided to opt for no-sleepwear in this heat.

Now for March:

Read the rules for squash.

Hubbie and I started playing on and off towards the end of last year, and have now fallen into a regular pattern. I really enjoy it, and for the first time in a long time I don't even mind the fact that it is (dare I say it) exercise.

But, even though I enjoy it and could be worse at it, I have never even bothered to read the rules. Hubbie has, and probably won't lie to me (I'm not sure how competitive he really is), but if you are gonna get up earlier in the morning to regularly take part in some form of sport, I think you should at the very least peruse the Wikipedia entry.

So that's the plan.

Wish me luck.

    Nice, like the 'goal per month' thing! Well done.

    January - be on leave (accomplished cum laude)
    February - start working again with the main objective not to get stressed (accomplished, just just)
    March - take 1 day off every month to do whatever (dr's appointment, hair cut, couch duty whatever!) .... will let you know how that goes!:)

A first try

Image
We went on a stargazing weekend to the Cederberg Observatory last weekend. The weather was kind, although cold, and we had clear skies the two nights we were there. So I decided to try my hand at astrophotography. I didn't think it would be easy - but what I didn't realise is that taking the photo is just the first part. The processing afterwards is as important. So you can imagine my disappointment when I opened the pics on my computer and mostly saw black with a dot here and there. And as I am very much a beginner at taking and processing star photos, these are not the best you'll find on the web even after processing, but I gave it a shot and will hopefully just get better and better and better and better...

Day 2: Something I love about myself

Image
What is 30 days of truth? I love that I can get excited about the most ridiculous things. I can lie on my tummy and watch an ant, I can make a huge mess while baking, because I'm enjoying the feel of the flour on my hands. I am a sucker for funfairs and candyfloss and the circus. Ant! And what is even better? I now have a two year old boy that gives me license to stop and look at the butterflies, mess with my hands in the sand, or jump up and down explaining just how cool the latest Thomas-trains (as my boy calls them) are. Now I'm not the crazy lady anymore. Now, by seeing the world like an enthusiastic child, I am an involved mommy. Now that's what I call win-win ;) 3 Things to be grateful for: 1. Above mentioned sprog took a nap this afternoon and gave me time to get some more work done. 2. Had a nice chat on the phone with my mom. 3. Girly TV time tonight, while hubbie is out (though I'll miss him dearly).

Ramsay’s kitchen nightmares?

Image
Yesterday I followed a link to a Food24 page with details of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, Maze. The link was tweeted by @SamWilson1 commenting on the bad reviews following the dinner on Friday night. I read through many of the comments, and slowly I also started to form an opinion. I wasn’t at the dinner, but have a twitter friend that was thrilled to meet Mr. Ramsay at the Good Food and Wine Show at the CTICC: “it was awesome! I got him to autograph my book "Get the **** out of my kitchen". (Thanks @Janaquar for the pic.) So these are my thoughts, but first some background. Gordon Ramsay is one of the chefs who appeared at the Good Food and Wine Show at the CTICC last weekend, and people seem happy with the R300 (including Food Show entry) to watch him in the Chefs in Action Theatre. On Friday night there was a charity dinner at Maze (R1500 pp), where diners were let to believe they would be interacting with Mr. Ramsay and have a Question and Answer session. T...
