On 2 January 2025. The universe reminded me how fleeting everything is. One moment you’re exercising to get fit and in the next you can be on the floor with a view of ants eager to take you apart for their offspring.

I was doing staggered push ups getting ready to jump in the swimming pool afterwards, so it was lucky I didn’t get that far. A mini stroke is like an evil former friend who knows exactly how to hurt you.

And this when I’m dlsupposed to be preparing for the South African launch of SOUND BEFORE WATER.
