Well we are well into 2010 and still very positive the year will be a good one.
Family are all well and growing up fast, we need to get serious about moving to be closer to his primary school. This will be a huge upheavel in our lives and hence I keep putting it off.
Work is still very slow and I need to expose myself more in order to get more done.
I am loving my photography but find it very pricey to get to the level I want, so will need to be realistic about my capabilities.
My project52 has progressed to the stage where I am collecting recipes and defining the index, will start shooting some recipes soon.

Phew what a year!
December 24th, 2009, posted in personalWell this has been some year, I cannot say in a good way. I have had to endure some of the toughest times every, from health, family, finance, career and personal. This has all left mr a bit wary of the new year ahead as I battle to regain my positive outlook and see all of 2009’s drama as the past. I wish I could say it was all over and will improve but I just do not seem to have that positive outlook.
So as this new year approaches I am nervous and would love to just get back to where I was before and get on with life, I am going to make every effort to be positive in an effort to not alienate myself from the great oppertunities that exist out there.
Thanks to all my great friends even though I know I have kept most of you out of the drama I always knew you where there, I just did not know how to deal with it myself and for much of the time tried to hide from it in an effort to pretend that it did not exist.
So bring on 2010!

Saturday shopping and the beach
December 19th, 2009, posted in Life in SASo a normal Saturday here in sunny south africa, great weather and a wind free day. I have just returned from the normal shopping trip on Saturday to get some nice fresh bread as we normally have cold meats and salads with a nice crusty ciabatta. I must say that this is no easy task we just do not seem to have a nice dedicated bakery, all we have is the supermarket bakeries which seem to only know how to make mass produced as I call it “air bread”. It is times like this that I wish I lived in that French village on the slopes of ghe French alps. Anyway found some ok ciabatta and had our cold chicken, beef open sandwich’s. I had also prepared a gammon and am waiting for that to cook. The idea being that we have it sliced cold for lunches next week. I am also using it as a test run for our Christmas lunch as I will be cooking a full lunch on Christmas day for a few friends. I am posting the pictures and recipes on my food blog.
Well let me go and check the ham.

Well I have decided it is time to get back in shape as I have let things slip the last year so starting NOW I am going to be working on my attitude to eating and my food choices. To start with I do a 6 week half portion size eating plan where I eat only half the amount I normally would so my body get’s use to eating less food. I will report all the details of the tools, menus and tips on my site for healthy eating found here

What a life I have! I am now finally combining my love of food, cooking and my new passion photography. I am slowly learning the art of food styling and have started my own blog for items I have cooked and photographed. Find it here – what’s 4 supper tonight. This site also has a facebook page found here. I have always been a keen researcher and have decided to share my finds with all of you so here is my collection of blogs and websites that I find as I travel the web. You can find the list here, I am currently reviewing the top 50 food blogs.
