Weekend in Review

Its was a pretty relaxing weekend, given the pretty busy weekends of late. Started off on Friday night with some drinks and pizza at Richard's house. Nothing too hectic, although we did only get home at around 1am. Saturday was a lazy day at home. Did a bit of reading...went through to the Apple shop in Sandton to get a sleeve for my laptop (BTW, bumped into John Smit, Springbok Captain, who was also at the Apple shop with wife and newborn baby in tow. He's a big boy...but not unusually so. I reckon if push came to shove...nah, just kidding :-). K and I went for some awesome Indian food on Saturday night. Sunday, we decided to wipe the cob webs off the mountain bikes, and took a ride to the gym. Swam a couple of lengths, then rode home and cooked a nice breakfast. Sunday afternoon was spent at my folks - had another swim (this time the pool was not heated), braai'd some meat, and watched Alonso take his second world championship.
Definitely starting to feel like life is slowing down to a more acceptable pace...

This coming week: Handing over and wrapping up a couple of unfinished tasks at work. Also having dinner club this week - Wednesday in fact. It'll be dinner club with a difference, as we're cooking.

This coming weekend: Annual pilgrimage down to Ballito for some sunshine and surf. Fly down on Friday evening.

Random Thought: In one of the articles I read recently, the author spoke about an idea called Project 365. The idea is that with the advent of digital cameras, camera phones etc, it would be quite cool for people to take a "Picture-a-day" for a year. The picture could be of anything (the outfit your wear each day...events/people/places you go to during your day, friends you hook up with, food you eat, cars that you fight for a piece of tarmac with each morning...whatever it is that captures your imagination). You'll then have an archive of these pictures to look back on after a year. In a way, its a form of PhotoBlog. Thoughts or experiences captured digitally. Its an interesting one - I'll sleep on it for a couple of days, and then decide on whether I'm up for this challenge.
