What a beautiful day. Spring has truely arrived, but apparently more rain forcast for tomorrow. Well done the Green and Gold Boks, you made me proud today, a better performance, but nowhere near the best, still some basic errors and slightly off the pace towards the end, but enough to win the Tri Nations trophy, no mean feat.
I get slightly frustrated with South African sport, always inconsistent, except for our athletes, then it's a real mixed bag, pardon the pun.
I Had a wonderful memorial ride for my late friend, Nick Slack yesterday, may he rest in peace. He passed away last Sunday morning after a prolonged illness, he was 4 days older than me. We shared each others pockets for years and lived in each others company and I will miss him. I sat on Chapmans Peak at the time of his memorial service and gazed over the breathtaking view, hoping he would join me in form of a whale spouting or jumping or some sign to show he was there, but he never pitched, hopefully he was elsewhere exploring his new domain. He missed a wonderful half hour, filled with beauty and sadness. I will always remember Mauritz and him whenever I visit there in future.
My sinusitis has now moved into my chest and hope it will have removed itself by next weekend in time for our Spring racing League. I am about as excited as a jck in a box and can't wait to get amoungst it, lets hope it's a good challenge, which I have no doubt about actually. Our boys are looking strong. Lets hope we have fun doing it and the sportsmanship reigns supreme within our category. No reason not to, the Poison Dwarf is no longer present, no one should miss him.
