Knowing when to pull up and catch your breath can be easy or it can be hard. I tend to do things the hard way. Let’s call this Part 1. Work has been crazy for a while now, mainly through difficulties with finding good staff. It’s been quite stressful on the team that always dig deep…
It’s within walking distance to one of the best beaches in the world and it was always a bit of a sleeper and a well kept secret. Not anymore, things have changed dramatically in the last couple of years. Gentrification and population growth have well and truly made its way to our once sleepy dog…
Hi Manstheorists, This ones a guest blog that I received from a good friend who wanted to share his experiences through a year of contrast and reflection – to say the least. Thanks Andre. And so it goes: If someone had told me what 2020 was going to behold, I would have laughed and said…

COVID 19 has forced change on us all. If nothing else, it’s made us stop and evaluate what’s really important in our lives. For a lot of people being in lock down has meant a total reset in lifestyle. The precious commodity of time is back in our hands. Time to do those jobs at…
It’s dark, my motivation is obviously lacking and I’m not enjoying this one little bit! Dragging myself out of a cozy bed at 4:30 in the morning is just ridiculous and winter is still months away. I ask myself “Why am I doing this? ” – Why? Well ok yes, having a good level of fitness…
