\"FromHave to apologize to if you have been checking in on the blog this week and you have not seen any posts…reason is that the flu virus decided to pay me a visit and from last week Saturday I have not been feeling lekker <\/em>(“well”<\/em> for non-Afrikaans readers).<\/p>\n

This evening has been the first evening I can sit in front of a PC without toilet paper shoved up both nostrils, and without coughing every 5 minutes, to be able to post something.<\/p>\n

Will start posting soon! \u00a0In the meantime make sure that you familiarize yourself with Man Flu<\/a> and the impact it can have on your life…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
