Blogging while mobile....

Testing the blogger iPhone app. Now when I'm furiously typing away on my phone everyone will wonder what my SMS bill is. But, unfortunately, I will also be subjecting the world to all the crazy, sometimes silly, mostly musings in these posts.
I will be writing about everything and anything. Luckily, living in South Africa gives me regularly heaps of things to digest, especially with ANC rule.
