M is for Melbourne where I’ve been once, marathon (which my running-mad husband has done close to 100 of), marsupial (a mammal whose young are born incomplete and then carried in a pouch on the mother’s belly like kangaroos), Moreton Bay fig trees, the moon, and mosaics (which I’ve done some of and loved it but hardly find the time for nowadays).
M also stands for Magic Miles (the yacht my husband and his running mate joined as part of the Three Peaks Race in Tasmania in 2013.)
I’ve included a professional video of the highlights of the Magic Miles team’s Three Peaks Race in 2013, made by Nick Roden who went along on the yacht. It was an amazing experience, even for us as spectators. None of us had ever done or been involved with anything like it. The race brought sailors and runners together to form a magnificent team, and we got to meet some fantastic people. Some of my photos have been included in the video.
Coincidentally, the last leg of the Three Peaks Race is a run up and down Mount Wellington in Hobart.

I have a marvellous memory of a certain 4 year old calling something moerse vinnig completely out of the blue one day. Sy’t nooit voor daai dag die woord gebruik nie en sê dit toe so mooi in konteks dat dit amper baie snaaks was, behalwe dat dit die verkeerde “audience” was. Oeps.

Oeps… ja, hoe weet vier jariges dat dit presies die mees ongepasde oomblik is om so “sweet” te wees? Die dominie moes julle lekker skeef aangekyk het!! Wha ha ha… ek rol! 😉

Gelukkig was dit nie die dominee nie maar dit was nie veel beter nie! Ons lag vandag lekker daaroor en as die kinders my siel wil uittrek gebruik hulle daai woord.
