I’m feeling guilty that I haven’t blogged since September. I try to blog at least once a month, but my life have been so hectic the last 3 or 4 months that I haven’t had the time to post something. In July I started programming again with Dimension Data. It was kind of something we…

Ek en Lene het in 2006 terug Suid-Afrika toe gekom om ons eie besigheid, Die Red Apple – ‘n padstal/restaurant, te begin. Ons het albei goeie werke gehad in Engeland. Ek het so op ‘n manier vir myself gewerk as ‘n konsultant, maar dit was verseker nie my eie besigheid nie. Ons het ons eie…
