I’ve had a very productive day here in Johannesburg.....A full day of interviews, with national coverage on press radio and television. The SING campaign is alive and working in South Africa...and there is SO much work to be done. But there does seem to be a sense of optimism with regard to the new administration. There could now be a window of opportunity for the government to come to the plate and actually deliver the commitment they’ve made through the  HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan...which is essentially the following...
To treat 80% of people requiring ART ( at the moment only 40% are receiving treatment) 
To give 95% of women access to PMTCT services 
To reduce HIV infections by 50%...  All by 2011
With the combined  effort and  willpower of  government and civil society I don’t see any reason why this couldn’t be done.

A new film has been released by The SING Campaign.
This footage addresses the devastating effect that the stigma of HIV AIDS can have on those who are infected and their families.

If you are moved by this footage please GET INVOLVED and help us in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Yesterday the Daily Telegraph (UK) ran an open letter to the G8 Heads Of State, which Annie Lennox was a signatory to. The letter urges the G8 to address the need for all people, in rich countries and poor, are given the support they need to live decent and dignified lives when they meet for the summit taking place in Italy this year. A copy of the letter will also appear in the Financial Times (UK) tomorrow.

Big Brother is addictive....Yes I can completely vouch for this... “My name is Ann(ie) Lennox and I watch Big Brother.” Big Brother is not a TV show! It’s a virtual planet...a realm...a universe all to itself...and ..guess what...You have no idea what anyone’s agenda is..apart from the ubiquitous objective of 15 minutes of fame....or the reason why you’re so profoundly hooked to the Shakespearean unfolding. Big Brother is more Shakespearean than Shakespeare, for pity’s sake! And who the hell is Siobash..or Shree..or Marcus ..or Noireen??? We’re gonna all forget about them all in about 15 minutes after the last episode anyway....Tell me ONE Big Brother celebritee that has made the Big Time apart from the late Jade Goody, god rest her soul!!??? Oh....What it doesn’t matter...Who gives a toss anyways??? As long as we can all just “BE THERE”...in the Big Brother house...It’s like a moment of eternal something...not exactly sure what..But it fills in the cracks and the empty spaces..in a Big Brotherish sort of way. PS..Is Davina the Devil or Madonna???

OK....so I’ve been taking the last few weeks to kind of unplug, because I realized that I  felt depleted, and I needed to just step back....The good news is that I actually do feel re energized...
“ENERGY”!!!.....what a mysteriously tantalizing thing that is!....Young children have it in overdose loads...and middle aged farts like myself start crumbling and fading away before we’ve woken up in the late morning, because we can’t even get a decent night’s sleep! Anybody know what I MEAN out there???????!!!!!
I wish I could do a “tumble the cat”,  a handstand, the splits, a  backwards somersault, or even a measly little hand stand or cartwheel!
 But...hey...Here’s the deal.....I couldn’t even do  any of them back in the day when I should have been able to do them easily !!!!...All except for the “tumble the cat”.. Which is obviously no problem even for  weaklings like me.
Ach!
I should have been a dancer.....actually...I suspect that I am  TRULY a closet dancer...but I didn’t give it any credit or belief.
And god bless ALL dancers!! Do you have any idea how hard they work...only to be told that they’re too old at the age of six!!!????
Oy Vey...
How many suitcases should I take...and for what kind of weather???

The world is in shock at the news of Michael Jackson’s sudden passing.
He was a phenomenal musical genius, whose entire life was exposed to the madness and distortion of everything that accompanies exceptional ability and fame.
