I thought it might be useful to create a video showing how Fiji and I navigate an escalator so you can see how easy it actually is. Maybe you’re wondering how I know when we’re getting near to the end of the escalator? And that’s what you’re seeing on the video. PS Did you see how Fiji wagged her tail the whole way down the escalator? The t...

A different way of seeing. Laquo; Perplexing Human Behaviour, Part 01. Time to Brush Up on My Skills. More Peculiar Human Behaviour? March 28, 2017. You know, it strikes me as peculiar that both this and my previous article are about sport after all, the closest I usually get to sport is walking or dancing.

A year ago if anyone had told me that I would be standing on my own on the side of Main Road handing out baby potatoes to the Peninsula marathon runners I would have shaken my head in disbelief and laughed uproariously. And yet that’s exactly where I found myself at 08:30 AM on the morning of Sunday, 19 February this year. Yet lots of them do so. The photo is...

A different way of seeing. Laquo; A Remarkably Happy Accident! Perplexing Human Behaviour, Part 01. Well, It Wasn’t Shark Diving. March 21, 2017. I admit it was a little disconcerting sitting there with a super-sized version of speaker/author Douglas Kruger dominating the massive screen beside author/trainer Jill Ritchie and myself but it certainly didn’t impede the discussion in any way.
