Sanity has prevailed and Gary Kirsten has been named SA’s cricket coach!

Thank goodness!

After a farce of an interview process, that is.

Imagine someone else had been named coach instead. Every Proteas loss would have ended with a “Gary Kirsten would have done better.”

Anyway, none of that nonsense, as my favourite former cricketer, I am delighted that Kirsten will be coaching the Proteas

As I was when he coached India, because I knew he would be back.

Congratulations Gary Kirsten! And Alan Donald his bowling coach.

This couldn’t be better news for SA cricket fans. Well maybe the news that AB de Villiers will captain the ODI and T20 teams with Hashim Amla as deputy.

Hopefully this clean broom will sweep clean. The Proteas clearly need a new lease on life.

The Latest Diet Craze

Apparently the latest diet craze amongst celebrities like Lady Gaga, Jennifer Aniston and the like is…wait for it…baby food!

You’ve read that right! BABY FOOD!

Has the world lost its collective mind???

Not even babies want to eat pureed food. Have you seen their faces when they have to eat a jar of food while the rest of the family eat whole foods?

Not exactly ecstatic, are they?

If you think about it, it makes a small bit of sense though. The potted food is obviously safe enough for the tiniest members of our society, so it must be healthy and safe enough for you and me.

In theory!

I would rather eat cabbage soup and Special K every day than eat mac&cheese flavoured with peaches out of a jar!

Actually no. I have never eaten cabbage soup in my life as depriving oneself of a variety of food is the fastest way to gain weight again.

But that’s just me. And I don’t do diets.

Gorgeous Jennifer Aniston who doesn’t look like she needs diets, is said to eat 14 jars of baby food a day to stave off hunger.

I guess it’s whatever floats your boat. It’s bikini season in the southern hemisphere and if I was being photographed in all my bikini wearing glory for all the world to see, I too might be eating pureed baby food.

Probably not though.
