Twitterbators...

Don't like them - and esp. those who follow you just to get you to follow back & inflate their numbers. Also those who clearly just want to ask you to link to their site. Twitterbators. Bah.

Updated Travel Plans

We've spent a very frustrating day searching for hours on the internet for various flights and accommodation options for the next few months. To cut a long story short about why/what/blah blah blah, we've now got ourselves sorted (said in strong mockney accent).

Here are our updated plans:

Mid-Nov: Depart SA and fly to UK (with an overnighter in Dubai)
Mid-Nov to Mid-Dec: 2 weeks in the UK
Mid-Dec to Mid-Jan: Back in Dubai
Mid-Jan to sometime later in the year: Possibly Thailand, or it's looking more and more likely we'll shuttle around India, in particular Goa.

Very excited about Goa plans - been wanting to go there for ages. 2009 is the year!

Blog comments count.: A big fat lie?

Are they really accurate when, in many cases, over half the comments are made by the blog owner?

Hiking up Lion's Head

This is a hike we've been meaning to do for ages here in Cape Town but have obviously been saving it until Carole's last day. It was worth the wait. Stunning views of Table Mountain, the 12 Apostles and the Atlantic Seaboard. Awesome!

Whales off the coast in South Africa!

Highlight of our trip to the Cape of Good Hope yesterday was seeing a pod of whales offshore (between 20-50m from the shoreline) lolloping about in the calm sea.

Are you an "expert"?

Just read the blurb from a fairly well-known blogger who claims they're an "expert in business processes and streamlining". I have never seen any evidence of this nor know of any of their real-world business credentials.

Having had 5 years down in the trenches of business processes, business streamlining and real world management consulting with one of the world's best consulting companies (and I don't say that lightly - lord knows I'm not a major fan of the firm!!), I still wouldn't call myself an "expert" although would say I'm highly skilled. These are my business process qualifications - where are yours, eh, "expert"-who-shall-remain-nameless?

Out & About In Cape Town

Spent the day showing our visitor the sights of the city, including the colourful buildings on Long Street, a view of Table Mountain from the V&A Waterfront and kids having a ball :)
