Mmmm…. what do you write when you really wanna write something but you don’t know what to write and no writing of any shape or form comes easily and then you think well if I just start writing, something will come out so I will just write and write and yet, as I am writing I still don’t know what to write…..!
Phew…….. Ok, so I guess I will tell you about my week as uneventful and uninteresting as it was. Well, not really that uneventful but just uneventful enough to make this one of those posts you wish you had never started reading coz by the time you get to the end of it you are going to realise it’s full of nothing!
So, Tuesday night we had our monthly girls’ dinner club. Tuesday was Chantelle’s turn and she chose Mama Roma in Blauwberg. It was quite nice – the food and the wine great (yes, I did have too much as usual). It is so nice to have a regular date with your friends and to be able to get away from the men and the work and all the usual crap of the day! We are a group of people who are so comfortable to just be ourselves, say what we want, do what we want, wear what we want and let it all out! And boy, do we! At times it’s silly, at other times it’s serious, most of the time it’s a scream with all the weirdos I call my friends….! Some of the topics that get discussed are bizarre, scary or just plain rude…;0) (Who said that – not me! Yes girls, I hear you – what happens at dinner club stays in dinner club……) So, that was Tuesday and it was great!
On Wednesday I went to the PERSONAL TRAINER! That was really fun…..NOT! The great thing is (well, not great for her), her leg is in plaster as she has broken her leg (or was it ankle… can’t remember now…) so, half the training session is me walking next to Nadia with crutches and hopping to the next area…..!!!! She once again had some fantastic torture planned for me …. clearly having her feet up gives her imagination that much more time to think up new and interesting ways for me to make a fool of myself in front of the general public! (Did I mention that the likes of Corne Krige and half the Stormers train at my gym – good thing they are married, else boy would they be making passes at me with my sexy purple tracky bottoms with holes in them, bright red face and lunging, squatting and gasping for breath all over the place)! Wednesday evening I had a wonderful reiki session with Louise – thanks Louise – I feel almost normal once again….! Then off to the folks for dinner. Unfortunately, that was not a fun time as we had some bad news in the family so it was tears and stressing on behalf of my sister who I can’t even hug as she is in Scotland….!
Then today was a normal work day – we went for a lovely run on the beach with the dogs – I love this time of year as the sun makes everything orange and all the kitesurfers were out – next time I will take a pic – it really is a lovely sight with Table Mountain in the distance….! (sorry Wends, but yes, I am trying to make you jealous….. Read: Come Home)!
So, that is my week thus far! Tomorrow Steven and I are off to Onrus for the weekend so wish good weather on us please. My doggies are staying with their cousin Leo (sis-in-law’s dog) – so they will be having fun too! Will take lots of pics and tell you all about it on Monday!
Hmmm…. For a post entitled ‘Writer’s Block’ this is quite a long one…….. ;0)
Love you all!

Hi all!
Well, I am in the process of sending off a 52-page fax which I have to babysit, so while that’s being done, I may as well say a quick hi.
Firstly, let me just quickly say on the whole snoring front – the night before last I did an Olbas steam before bed and went through the whole night without snoring and bliss was restored to our home! HOWEVER, last night – back to normal I am afraid..! Well, I didn’t steam but you can’t do that every night can you? So I just did the usual preparation as well as sniffing the Olbas and this other sniffy stuff and the plaster and everything…. Oh well, I will have to just keep trying!
Last night was another late one for me – only got to bed at 2am and now I am of course exhausted.
Next, on the dieting/exercise front – this week is a good one – so far! Yesterday I restarted my personal training sessions with Nadia who helped me get into my wedding dress. I am going to be seeing her once a week as well as my running 3 times a week. I just think it will add a bit of mix to my routine and she really pushes me which I need. Yesterday I was squatting and lunging all over the gym floor – I actually think she gets secret sadistic pleasure from making a fool out of people. Woke up this morning and couldn’t walk – my thighs are aching! She sent me an sms this morning asking me how I am feeling – sick twisted individual!
I am still planning to post the pic of me so you can all see where I’m at and how faaaaaaaaaaar I still need to go, but I want it to be a nice pic (well, as nice as possible) so I have to get Steven to do it still. Watch this space….(She says with trepidation…..)
So anyway, as soon as the fax is through I will be off to gym again for a run – hopefully it will loosen those muscles. Hopefully today I will get to see Caz as I haven’t seen her in over a week!
Have a good one everybody!

Well, it’s been a different sort of a weekend…!
Yesterday saw me becoming an official reiki practitioner, while today saw me sweating it out on a (very hilly) golf course..! Why oh why do I allow myself to be roped into these things? “It will be good exercise, it will be fun!” Take a wild guess whose words those were…..
Well I guess it was kinda fun in the end as Lisa and I managed to hijack a golf cart and drive around like mad people towards the end….! However, the first 12 holes……..NOT FUN! It was really hot with little shade and loads of hills. All I can say is, if I step on that scale tomorrow and I haven’t at least lost 2kgs, heads are going to roll…….! Steven probably had the worst round of golf ever (careful what you wish for Stevie – force your wife to come walk around the course with you and that’s what you get)! At least that takes care of me not having to go again! Oh well, it wasn’t all bad – it was good company, a beautiful day and I must say a really beautiful golf course. So once again, I end off my post with the words ‘All’s well that ends well.’
So off to soak in the tub with my aromatherapy candles, relaxing meditation music and a glass of wine…. Now that sounds more like the Ronnie we all know and love….

Right let’s give this a proper go shall we…. This is now my 3rd attempt at a blog and hopefully this time I will be dedicated enough to keep it up and running…. Well with all my friends having blogs I am of course extremely jealous!!! So, yes, I will go out on a limb and say – add me to your favs and pleeeez comment or I will feel you don’t love me…..!!
There is so much going on in mine and all my beloved friends and family’s lives that I will try to keep this blog as interesting (and yes, hilarious when it comes to their antics) as possible…!
I will keep you updated on my road to fitness and weight loss which is the bane of my existence and something I need much encouragement and sometimes a stern word from you all…
YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! ;0)
