It's amazing how quickly this year has gone by. It is at time like this that I look back and wonder why or how it always felt like a year was a really long time and now that most days are filled with work commitments or outstanding tasks, the days and weeks all merge and are broken only by a few fleeting hours of sleep.
Unfortunately this past week lacked the good (and necessary) sleep component. By Wednesday I was already so tired that I got arrived home at 7, was in bed by 9 and subsequently woke up at 3:30am! That'll teach me for going to bed before even CSI is finished!
August is a month I am simply hoping to survive. Two weddings, a potential trip overseas (work), two blocks of MBA lectures, a weekend away with the in-laws and work in-between and looking at all of that, it seems almost impossible that it can all be squashed in.
We are also starting the countdown to the defence of the Rugby world cup and if current Bok performances are anything to go by, we'll be watching the trophy presentation from afar. Of course, the "secret training camp" in Rustenburg is where our hopes really lie and hopefully our first string will be fighting fit for the proverbial and literal kick off.
August also brings the start of the English Premier League season and (hopefully) a consistent and committed campaign for my beloved Liverpool. Some exciting new signings this season and hopefully the new Adam, Downing, Suarez and Carroll combination will give us the edge we need to get back into the running and challenge the others at the top.
No doubt I will look back at this post in the month's to come and reflect on what I just said, so with that in mind, I will make one or two predictions just to keep things interesting!
Liverpool to finish in the top 3 this season, behind Manchester United and Chelsea. Arsenal and Manchester City will struggle to find consistent form and will slip back, with Spurs and Aston Villa keeping the top clubs honest.
Western Province and the Sharks to yet again contest the Currie Cup final and Province to take it this year.
The Boks will make it to the semi-finals of the World Cup and will run out of steam before the last hurdle.
Lets see how I do :)
