Well January has come to an end, but as I sit here, the transfer market in the English Premier League is going absolutely crazy. It appears that the last few hours are going to be spent throwing around the kind of money that would have relieved the US motor industry from the recession.
Liverpool have purchased Luis Suarez (yes, the same guy who handballed away Ghana's entry into the semi-finals of the World Cup - I was at that game...not happy times) but perhaps that will need to be overlooked if he scores 30 goals a season for the Reds.
We have also seemingly secured Andy Carroll from Newcastle for an astonishingly large 35 million pounds (I think it's 15 million for his goalscoring ability and an extra 20 million for the ponytail...but that's all speculation for now.
The last potential purchase (I know of) is Charlie Adam, the midfield talisman from Blackpool who would fill some of the void left by Xabi Alonso when he left, we could only hope!
So the first two weeks of time at Gibs came to an end this past weekend. The first set of full lectures from Thursday to Friday and I can only thank my lucky stars I have the credit for economics. When the rest of the class were heading back into lectures, I was heading home for something of a weekend. Needless to say, most of it was filled with work catch up and kitten control!
Helen spent the weekend with our friend Lara down in Knysna as she is out from the UK, so I was home alone with the two kittens. Lots of fun and we spent a lot of time playing in the lounge :)
We've also started working on our first group assignment which is a study on the challenges affecting Employment Equity, we're using Nedbank as a study, keeping it close to home!
In fact, on that note, New Year's resolution update time!
1). My totals for January have come in!
Totals: 2011, January 31st, 142km to date over 22 separate runs in 13hours, burning 15381kcal
So it was a good month, with my longest run being 16.3km, shortest run 4.5km
2). So far so good with the MBA, we have a strong group and classes are going well, a lot more focus on actually taking notes and making effective summaries this time around!
3). One Year anniversary is in March, I cant believe the year has flown so fast, it seems like just yesterday we were getting married in the Midland (and now we have two little kitten kids!)
4). Travel less has so far been very effective, I havent gone further than Gibs!
5). The property update is no closer to being resolved, the seller is still sorting out her issues and we are going to just have to wait and sit tight as we really want that land!
So, all in all, things are moving along nicely and the year has been incredibly busy. But, as in all things, finding a good rythym is the key, and hopefully that will come soon!
Till next time...here's to Liverpool buying some effective world class talent (and we've lost Torres for 50 million, (R600 million...crazy stuff!)
