Gotta be hungry for that…eeeew (pun intended)

Well last year I officially sucked at blogging. Perhaps the year got a bit away with me. So this year, I really am going to make a concerted effort at blogging more.

as you can see there is a newish look today, and while I play a bit more with the new Blogger (out of Beta), I’m going to try and make it look all pretty.

A new addition on the right is MyBlogLog, which is really a big networking site connecting bloggers around the world.
You can check my profile out at http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/marcforrest/

Also have added my picasa album link on the right for some pictures from the silly season.

More to come soon !!!

This past weekend there was very good article in the Sunday Times, taking a look inside how Cash Heists in South Africa take place.

Exactly 295 days after my mom passed away last year in November, we said goodbye to my Dad on the 12th of September. He had been in hospital for a month, and had been diagnosed with cancer. They removed a growth from his colon, but it had had spread to his lungs & liver. He came out of hospital to my house on the Monday, and passed away peacefully on the Tuesday.

We had become quite close in the last couple of months, and it hurts to know that I don’t have either of my parents left, but I am greatful they are together now, wherever they may be.

Goodbye dad, thanks for all you did for us, we gonna miss you ;(

So I ordered the book by Tertia from So Close Blog, that I wrote about the other day. And what a book.

WOW. WOW. WOW.

This is truly heart wrenching stuff; with loads of humour added in. It’s amazing that such a “sad” story can also make you smile. It recounts Tertia and her husbands journey through 9 (NINE!!!) IVF’s, with sometimes unpleasant results, and finally a bundle of joy. It even bought tears to my eyes ;)

I would really recommend this book to anyone. Young, old, if you have kids, or not…anyone. It really is brilliant. Well done Tertia, hope we get to see a follow-up sometime with the rest of your life story, it could only be entertaining.

You can order the book from Kalahari.net or Loot.co.za
