For as long as I can remember, I’ve followed the World Superbikes. At the be-moans of my darling wife – she can’t believe how many races I can find on television; it drives her crazy for some strange reason? It’s an art form the way these guys ride these bikes, a thing of beauty – in my mind anyway.…
It’s really simple – we’re born, we breed, we die. That’s the life cycle in a nut shell. Unfortunately some species have fallen by the wayside due to varying reasons, the breeding didn’t go so well for those guys. Without any doubt two of the above are certain. 1. If you’re reading this then you…
My darling wife tells me I have no fashion sense. She’s pretty good at this stuff. I’d say it’s a fair call, I’m not known as a male fashionista – unless that’s in a practical way. What I mean by saying “practical” is more like well worn T- shirts, board shorts or jeans that are…
Last week one of Formula One’s greats passed away at 70 years of age. In mentioning this to a young friend who follows the current Formula 1 championship, he couldn’t recall the name ” Niki Lauda”, though I have no doubt the face would have been immediately recognised. The life of Niki Lauda is an…
I was really disappointed in myself. I’ve since made a commitment that I will make a better choice next time. So what was the big deal? Like all of us, sometimes life can feel a bit slow, dreams and goals just aren’t happening fast enough, a little more cash in the bank would be great…
A picture tells a thousand words. A kayak is paddling in the open ocean. But if you look closely, just behind the kayak, hidden in obscurity is a lone swimmer. The conditions are abysmal, the wind is increasing. The support in the kayak has already been tumbled by a rogue wave and is himself struggling.…
Peace and quiet – it’s a beautiful thing, it calms the mind and the soul. So much of the world around us is consumed by distraction. The need to be constantly attached like an appendage to our mobile devices is crazy. Sadly, I plead guilty in reacting to the “beep beep” that tells me another…
Deb and I have started planning our next change, it will set us on the path in what we want to experience and achieve in our lives. It’s not the first time we’ve arrived at a point where we’ve decided it’s time to start the change process. In our past, for varying reasons – our…
Change is never far away, it’s a constant in our lives. Sometimes change isn’t invited but it rains on our party regardless. You didn’t anticipate it, you didn’t ask for it, you didn’t plan for it! It’s forced upon you. You have to deal with it whether you like it or not. That’s the S—…
The Roman Philosopher Seneca said that “Travel and Change of Place Impart new Vigour to the Mind”. And so it was over Christmas we had the pleasure of visiting Canada in its winter. It was a world of beauty and extremes. After a spectacular drive through the Rocky Mountains we arrived at the beautiful Fairmont…
