About

At heart I am a romantic.  Not in the flowers and chocolate sense, but in the way I view the world “marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealised” (Mirriam Webster Dictionary)

I grew up on the Cape Flats and now live the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town - within 3 kilometres of our first home when I was born and about 6 kilometres from where I grew up.

I love writing which helps because I’m not all that good at expressing myself verbally.

I love the life I created for myself, and I love living in South Africa, although a part of my heart is also in Melbourne Australia. If I could, I would live part-time in both countries.

I have an innate curiosity, which is partly cured by ongoing UNISA studies, hopefully for the rest of my life.

My greatest ambition is to win the Lotto.

I am greatly entertained by:

- life in general

- my family, friends and sometimes colleagues

- running

- stories: listening to people, books and movies

- politics – but not politicians

- social media: blogging and Twitter right now.  Facebook gets on my last nerve sometimes, but it has its uses too.

- soapies: mostly 7de Laan, but occasionally, Generations.

- online word games like Scrabble and Lexulous

- Khaya Dlanga

- Marc Lottering

I like to think I am honest and straight forward and I don’t take myself too seriously.  I like being around people who are similar.
