Here's to an exciting week ahead!

I know that most of you (or let me rather say us) is just glad that we've reached the mid day mark of Monday!  It can only go downhill from here on.  During this week, specifically, we have a couple of 'happy places' to go to (and the Ster-Kinekor movies are not even on the list).

We're celebrating new beginnings on Thursday - spring is in the air!  It's such a cliché but Spring Day still is the metaphor for 'out with the old, in with the new' - so let's embrace the crisp, fresh season and all the exciting opportunities that is part of the Spring package.

Thursday is not only Spring Day, it's also officially Springbok Day in South Africa.  A huge party is held for our green and gold boys before they take off to defend their world champion status in New Zealand.  If you cannot join the official Fans' Farewell party, let's create our own celebrations and unite behind the Bokke!

The fun is not over with Thursday's festivities - remember to support persons with disabilities on Friday when it is national Casual Day.  This year's theme is 'Worn to be wild' - if you've always wanted to wear that leopard print cat suit to work, now is your chance! Let's remember to wear the official Casual Day sticker as well.  I couldn't agree more with their slogan: "If no one reaches out, no one can be touched".

If you have a boring, 'same old' week you only have yourself to blame - enjoy!
