An Hour of Hell
I lost Lex (five and a half) in a big shopping centre yesterday – it’s the first time I’ve “lost” him. Jax has wandered off a couple of times in the past – not very far, but far enough to freak him out because he couldn’t see me. He learnt his lesson and stays close […]
It’s Hungry Ghost Month Again
It’s that time of year, when the ghosts come out to play and everywhere you look are shrines, burning effigies, food, celebrations and more. I love this month because it’s fascinating, and if you’re interested, I did a blog on it 12months ago to give it a bit of context. If you drive around the […]
But You Can’t Chew Gum!
Image courtesy of www.oldtimecandy.com One of the first things people say the minute I tell them I live in Singapore is – but you can’t chew gum!

Am I a Mummy Blogger?

I hadn’t given it much thought, until recently an old school mate sent me a link to an interview opportunity on Mummy Bloggers and […]
Olympic Observations to Date…
We’re already half way through the Olympicsand I haven’t been able to watch half of what I want to watch – mainly because it took us three days to work out which bloody channels were worth recording in the first place. Happens every time, but then, what did we do before recorded TV? We’ve been […]
