Really? Where have you been?

So I have been gone for well over a year so I suppose it's important that I tell you where I have been - you of course being the two other people who have actually visited my blog.

Lets see in the last year I have changed jobs - twice. I got my dream job of writing for the newspaper I grew up reading and my father still reads only to find out the dream was a nightmare.

I have since returned to online and work as a news editor for that paper's sister publication. I reserve judgement.

I have fallen in love and lost a lover. And I have gained a best friend and lost a best friend. They are the same person.

I have been tatooed. Not once:



















But twice:













I have worked on charity events - big and small and seen my charity organisation raise millions of rand for underpriviledged kids. I have travelled to Europe and loved Sweden but hated London and slept all day in Turkey. I have made snow angels on the sea, and snowmobiled from one island to the next. I have been to Camden and bought a John Lennon shirt and got drunk in the bar owned by the lead guitarist of Blur. I have eaten Turkish delight and spoken Afrikaans to a man born and raised in Istanbul.

I have drank way too much and fallen on my head. I have spoken my mind when I should have bitten my tongue.

Where have I been you ask? I have been living.
