INTRO TO MY NEW NOVEL
Please put some money aside so you can purchase a copy of my first novel which will be completed next year.
Here is the first few paragraphs to set the scene...............
CHARLIE RIGHTWOOD, “A RIGHT MESS”
CHAPTER 1
While sitting at New York’s J.F.K. Charlie had this crazy idea. He had just received his bagel and coffee from this really cute waitress in Starbucks.
“Bianca at your service!”
When this strange thought ran through his head. He wanted to cause some havoc, some devastation that would ruin this perfect situation around him.
Happy couples, hand in hand, smiling faces, children’s voices and laughter resounded in the terminal 7 building. Everything seemed so purposeful.
Charlie Rightwood was not impressed!
A chair through the glass-enclosed coffee shop would certainly be a starting point. That would certainly get them running.
Charlie had had time to reflect on the past months on the 15-mile journey from the Holiday Inn, 57th Street, Midtown Manhattan, where he was collected by the cabbie. Fortunately the Puerto Rican was not too talkative.
“Which Airline will you be travelling from New York, Sir?”
“British Airlines to London” replied Charlie
“ Right on”
That was that, formalities were over and Charlie slipped in to a reflective mood………………….

BEFORE YOU DATE
If you are divorced, single etc, before you start dating a woman again, maybe have this agreement signed. My friend Charlie suggests it could clear up lots of misunderstandings.
FRIENDSHIP AGREEMENT
The purpose of this agreement is to clearly set out the guidelines for a friendship in order that there is no misunderstanding going forward.
GUIDELINES
1. I am not interested in a permanent relationship, i.e. I don’t want to get married.
2. Sending emails, sms’ or telephone calls does not mean anything but friendship.
3. Should we hold hands, kiss etc does not mean the relationship is moving to another level, or that commitment is on the way.
4. This friendship does not imply exclusivity and both parties are free to date other people.
5. Any terms of endearment like darling, love; baby etc is just a term of endearment and nothing more.
6. There has to be no pressure in terms of the amount of times that contact should be made.
7. Any past communication in terms of any proposed future commitment is now null and void and will continue in terms of the new guidelines.
8. An exchange of gifts is simply that and nothing more.
9. Silence in communication is nothing more than “time out”.
10. The costs of entertainment, food etc must be shared unless otherwise agreed on.
11. The guidelines are not negotiable unless agreed to by both parties to the friendship agreement.
12. Both parties are free at any point to end contact without an explanation.

RENEWING YOUR MIND
Recently I purchased the whole Bible on CD,this is the New King James Version, in order that I can fill up the hours when I am driving or before I go to bed, and listen to the Bible being read. It is certainly paying dividends as I have become more positive about life. My divorce certainly was a huge setback so I have decided to reformat the "hard drive" of my mind. It is so good to have scriptures occupying my mind rather than sadnes and anger etc. The result of this is that it has become easier to write worship songs again. On Friday night I wrote a new song and put the music to it in 90 minutes. I will publish the words and chords soon, just for interest purposes. Now I have odered a 80 Gig IPOD, so I can listen to the Bible when I am walking on the Beach, or waiting for a client.
All I can say, it is changing my thinking.The Bible is powerful and can renew our minds and our lives, because of the Holy Spirit which brings life to it.

A friend of mine Nicolene was celebrating her last night of singleness before getting married and I was there to capture her excitement to see some of the Protea Cricketers there.
Trust you all know who the cricketers are?
