And now there is GeoEngineering Climate Change. I am happy that at long last the climate change sceptics are being heard and some solutions being tabled. But how sceptical are the sceptics and cynical are the geoHeathens?

It is going to be a Meatball Sundae Friday Night. Luckily for me last evening, I arrived home in time for the FedEx man to deliver Seth’s latest book.

Forever the clown. Forever making people forget their worries. Forever making people laugh. Forever making people happy.
But also forever forgetting to be happy and free of worries themselves. The life of a clown is not too good.

Each day I find that I am amazed at some stage during my drive to and from the office by the utter stupidity of an increasing number of drivers. That I am a driver from Southern Africa who is used to being able to ‘put foot’ and speed off along a deserted road is beside the point. Why?

You don’t need a degree in human science to know when you are being given the cold shoulder.
The body language in the photo says it all. But how do you know when someone in blogosphere does not want to have anything to do with you anymore? Exactly how do you to detect this, if the blogger concerned does not tell you directly or send out a loud signal to stay the hell away from them?

I’ve been struggling to find some tiny bit of form to inspire me to write, and so have spent a lot of time at Brian Clarke’s Copyblogger most excellent, excellent, excellent, (did I telll you Brian’s site is excellent?!) site just reading, commenting and searching for a spark to ignite an inspiring thought. I’d all but given up for the night but then I looked at my last article below about the Grand Geeks Ball and whammo - the headline above popped into my head. And that was it. I just had to start typing.
Why did I have to begin tapping away in a frenzy at once?

We all know that a marketer based up in Cumbria who draws cartoons on the back of business cards and blogs, started a marketing revolution by convincing a young vineyard in South Africa to let him do his marketing thing via blogging. The cartoonist/marketer/blogger is Hugh McLeod. He started something big alright.

I am wondering why I titled this piece, “BitchSlapped”. I don’t know anyone who has been bitchslapped. What does it really mean? OK so I don’t know! There is stuff you too don’t know, so sharrup you face.

I stink of Zoflora! But at least it smells of the seaside. Had to wash the kitchen floor, pull the washing machine, the fridge, the freezer and the dishwasher out from under the kitchen counters to sweep up and bleach and Zoflora mouse doo-doo and pee. Ugh! Temba must have decided that the fieldmouse was too feisty for him so thought, “what the hell, I think master can have it to play with”.

“Where the drinking water is safe, bottled water is simply a superfluous luxury that we should do without,”
For years I have been buying a specific brand of bottled water. I always buy this favoured global brand. They pack their water in 6 x 2l bottle packs down to a single small 350ml bottle. And no matter where I travel to in Europe, USA or Southern Africa I can always buy this brand.
But why do I buy and drink bottled water when I have the luxury of a modern kitchen with running water, both hot and cold?

It’s already cold and dark outside. And it is only 6:35pm. The sound of traffic passing by the house adds to the wintery atmosphere. As does the tiny table lamp. It provides a warmish glow and one of the cats has jumped up and settled underneath it to catch some of the warmth the lightbulb emits.

The only place where play comes before work is in the dictionary.
Change is a constant we have to accept in life. Yesterday I was committed to do something that appealled to me. Today I have to drop out of it due to a change in departmental plans and my responsibilities to see the department’s objectives achieved.
Such is life in private and business life. Circumstances change all the time. We live in a constant state of flux. So no novel from me this year.
