Stressed out on life!

I promise - this is the last cartoon I post for a while - serious posts to follow. I just thought this was my perfect super hero... I can relate!!!

Do you ever call someone and then wish you hadn't?

Thanks to Natalie Dee for the cute comic.

Back on diet

Some of us make New Years Resolutions (to eat healthy, to be on a diet etc.) and stick to them... Some of us fall off the wagon and roll down the hill.... and into deep swampy ponds, and sink hard.

Someone I know - and I swear it wasn't me, but rather a certain male-ish half of a twosome I am in - fell hard recently and had a real binge weekend to end it in style. The peanut butter and jam and bread were all cowering in their respective corners in fear. And they had reason to shiver, as they were soon to be fashioned into gluttonous heavy, sopping squares of indulgence.. The Milo and the milk and the much coveted porridge had no chance... as they were soon swirling around in sugar saturated bowls of carbohydrate bliss. All of this was bought in a Supermarket frenzy at the new Accra mall - all as a last chance prelude to the lean days ahead.

Today is Monday. Today marks the first day of the rest of the year where 'some people' will climb the dusty ladder back up to where us righteous ones are riding along on the wagon... to 'healthy living'.

And the journey for this 'someone' started with plain fried eggs for breakfast and a tin of sardines for lunch... yum....

a blogger is born...

The lighter side

It's been ages since I've written. I feel I've foresaken my blog!!

I had/have a long piece almost ready to publish - it's full of ghastly statistics about flying in Africa and the perils of the local airlines...

But alas, it seems I am getting older and simpler and just too tired this month to dwell on the tragic realities.

I have rediscovered Calvin & Hobbes. And it is a jubilant reunion.

I've attempted to insert some profound but gorgeously simple life lessons, tidbits from the genius himself - however, blogger is not cooperating tonight.

Tomorrow I will find a way to share the wisdom....

Tonight I am feeling more and more like the old me of a few weeks ago, ready to tear into the ineptitude of the Internet in Africa - why it's pathetic and limited and underutilized... but I transgress... Calvin tomorrow it is. Good night.
