Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!

Thought I'd start this year off with a bang and a blog post - there's been some delay in posting over the last year mostly because I've been in Canada and other more exotic places around the world.

All is well and I'm back in South Africa at least for a few months before leaving on my travels and work abroad with the UN.

So in terms of New Year's resolutions I've been a little slack over the last umm... decade or so but I do hope to be more diligent this year.. at least one blog post per month in 2011 - should not be a huge stretch (except for laziness!) Needless to say I also continue to endeavour to write for our beloved South Africa news blog whenever I get a chance. I think there's going to be plenty of material coming forth over the next few months so certainly no shortage of writing topics.

All the very best for the New Year - 2011 is going to be a great year!

Update

Hola todo! Just a quick update in case you've all decided I've gone AWOL.. had a short break with the family and spent some much needed time with the kids.. great fun and a well deserved break - at least I think so!

Also caught up with Jo in India today - awful what happened there over the last week. Glad he's ok. The terrorism thing has gone a bit bananas over the last few years. Islam certainly isn't winning any brownie points with the rest of the world. Conspiracy theories are aplenty about how the US is trying to bring Islam in disrepute by carrying out attacks naming them as the perpetrators.. now there's an interesting thought.
