RIP Alex Manninger.

East London for sure. I couldn’t handle the flying either. Three flights each way every trip. It wasn’t kind on my body 😂 If my health blew up like it did here, I would have been screwed financially and the treatment I dread to think.

Scans are no fun. I had to pull myself out of the hospital bed, and onto wheelchairs and climb onto scanners, MRI & CT. It was agony as I had haemorrhaging in the pancreas and a collapsed lung. They didn’t tell me this though. I left Africa last year when I started to get sick. Luckily. No fun there

I feel you mate. No spuds or white bread for us Irish is difficult. Those strong painkillers are very addictive, but they also make you feel poorly. When I got out of hospital, they gave me those OxyContin and I took four and said that’s enough of those.

Oh dear diabetes. I hope you can get it well under control. Well done on the weight loss. I am not allowed to drink anymore and also have to lose weight, as I have a fatty liver. I wouldn’t recommend morphine to anyone, it made me feel so strange, but there’s no doubt it’s good for severe pain.

Getting better but it’s been a slow process. Was unwell for months before, but didn’t think it was anything serious, then bang. I never felt physical pain like it ever. Morphine every four hours.

Hi John. I’m doing okay. In the middle of January, I took severe acute pancreatitis and was hospitalised for two weeks. On the 9th of March I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. It’s been a testing time. How are you keeping?

Terrible keeper. Hopefully see no more of him now.

It’s all in the reflexes.

JD and Cherry Coke 😍

@leuvenleuven.bsky.social Hello Johan. I hope you’re well? I will be in Leuven on the 17th of October if you want to meet up for a beer.

Well laugh tonight again 8-1 on aggregate now 😂

Heh @ Rangers 😂

Leuven seems like quite the spot.

Obligatory airport pint.

Interesting weekend coming up. Off to watch OH Leuven v Charleroi in the Belgian Pro League 😅

Great waking up smiling. UTA.

Fuck me Dec!!

Let’s go you beautiful Gunners! UTA.

Nwaneri what a guy 😁

Get in Timber!

Dublin jars today to watch The Arsenal.

High risk of #Loadshedding returning as soon as today. Been nice without it for the past 10 months. Hello darkness my old friend.

Two weeks until I am back on Air France. Hoping for a much smoother journey this time. Can’t believe I’ve been back in SA a year already.

Moon and Venus last night.

Beautiful sky in the western cape last night.

So excited 😁

Merry Christmas Kris. Hope you have a good one. So strange sitting here in my shorts and feeling warm. 27C and sunny tomorrow.

And plenty of rain this side, but it’s warm and Christmas Day has to be sunny and 27. Catch you soon mate.

Never been. It’s quite a small place, but I’m sure it’ll be fun. No Turkey for me this year!
