Morning. Hope you’re started out better then mine with the linger of an exquisite Chardonay Pinot Noir last night at some live Blues by Gerald Clark and his band at the local Lebanese spot in town. I had one glass of sophistication, five water after, and could still feel back of my skull this morning. I’m regressing. Largest bowl of homemade muesli with strawberries, blueberries and Greek double cream yoghurt along with my experimental macchiato changed the mood. Need to get moving toward the pool. Pilates and a gym thereafter. Easier Friday, status quo, only juggling a bit after routine change with Tuesday Johannesburg excursion for Specialized, hence the added strength session today.

The final Tropitone Billboard campaign below – wicked being a part thereof. Am actually meant to be on the sports positioning side of the campaign, but snuck in alongside the “sun goddess” too. Super grateful for the extent of personal recognition and exposure – big thanks Jason and all at Tropitone.

Something like the return of the prince to the palace, like the third musketeer returning to the brotherhood, like times of old, the good ones at least…. Dylan is returning to the fold at Mon Desir, restoring the tally at the Republic. Only, we’re all on the 2^nd floor now; Michal, Dylan and myself. Would be foolish to hide my excitement – one of my best mates moving back in.
