Cough Cough, sniff

Sitting at home on a weekend when your wife is away at the Kruger Park running a race and just generally having a fun time when you are 1). Sick with flu and 2). Have to attend lectures is a pretty poor state of affairs.

In fact, I have just got off the phone with Helen and she ran a very good 10km race up at Malelane, which is excellent!

The past week was dominated by many meetings (at one stage I wondered if I even needed a desk as I seem to roam from boardroom to boardroom throughout the day) and then the onset of this cold, which has scuppered my running and any efforts at being on top of things at Gibs.

It is odd that when you are full of flu, things seem to be less clear than usual. I found myself talking to people and battling to understand/hear what they were saying, as my head was just so clogged up!

Anyway, lots of Corenza and Cal-C-Vita and things should be on the mend shortly.

On a brighter note, we saw good friends Nic and Kirsty Van Gysen last weekend as they were out from Australia to visit, always nice to catch up!

Our plans for Pecanwood are moving along nicely and we have met with the architect to get our plans (*sneeze*...sorry...) drawn into official site plans. He was very impressed with what we had done and is going to make it look like a virtual house for us soon! The job now is to get the builders (or prospective builders) to give us quotes once these plans are complete, so that we can get them approved at the home owners association and give them to the bank for the building loan.

Other than that, all is well, except that the two kittens are tearing the house apart (I think they are rebelling against the fact that either one, or both of us always seems to be away!!
