Quick catch up

The weeks are flying by again, we're in March and the Christmas festivities seem like they were just the other day.

It's been an incredibly hectic few weeks with exams, late hours at work and a very full weekend of lectures this past Thursday - Sunday. The fact that I am still here to tell the tale is a miracle in itself...

Needless to say, it's been challenging, but I like a challenge, so all good.

March has kicked off well and the running is in full swing. A target of 150km for this month, which is probably the highest I've ever set (not the most I've ever run in a month, but then targets are meant to be broken! ;) )

To date I've done just over 42km (in the first week) so am well on track to beat the 150 if I can keep that up.

What might prevent that (in a good way) is a surprise weekend away for our 2 year anniversary this weekend. Helen has told me to take Friday off and pack a bag, no idea where we are going, but anywhere away from work or Gibs sounds good to me!

The house is looking absolutely fantastic!! The roof is on, the floors have been screeded, the Walls have been plastered, the windows are in and we're doing final measurements on the plumbing and electrics before the kitchen and bathrooms can be installed. On that note, we've finalised our kitchen design and the intricate details and have agreed which supplier we'll be going with, so well on track!

The fireplace is looking amazing and the built in gas braai on the patio is also ready to be installed, so it's all coming together wonderfully. It looks like we are set to be in by the middle of the year, which is great as it will be awesome to be able to write my thesis in my new study!

Might be off to New York in a couple of weeks, the trip is still in the balance on the back of availability of resources with our partners in the States, so that may or may not happen at this stage. Either way, it's always nice to go to New York, but also nice to have some home time!
