Wedding Daze
I love a good wedding, and I was at a great wedding on Saturday. The bride, my cousin – who is stunning on a bad day – looked so beautiful she actually glowed. I’ve read about people “glowing” before and always thought it was hyperbole, but I can’t think of any other word to describe…… Continue reading Wedding Daze
Being Thankful in Bali, Indonesia
In the early hours of the morning, if you walk the streets of Ubud, you will find people sitting on the stoops of their houses or stores, nimbly weaving dried palm leaves together into little containers. The first day I saw this, I watched them do it and wondered about their silent, skilled work. These…… Continue reading Being Thankful in Bali, Indonesia
Trying To Be More Like Trump
So today I had a mad day. You know those mornings when you wake up tired and you basically feel like you’re playing catch-up for the rest of the day? I’ve had one of those days. Hence the late night blog post through eyes that are so bleary they feel like they might close of…… Continue reading Trying To Be More Like Trump
Joining in in Jaipur, India
After the maelstrom of Delhi, Scrubs and I were glad to escape to the relative serenity of Jaipur. The famously pink buildings seemed to glow a warm welcome in the sun as we dragged our battered and dusty bags through the streets of the city. We had finally arrived after a long train journey and,…… Continue reading Joining in in Jaipur, India
AH. Yum. Yum.
You know that ad with the tagline, “You’re not you when you’re hungry”? It’s a Snickers ad, I think.

I identify strongly with that…… Continue reading AH. Yum. Yum.

Thoughts on… Spending Monday in Mexico
I am actually in Mexico as I type this, and I’m typing it on my phone, at the bar. I’ve had one Bahama Mama and one Electric Lemonade, and if you know me then you know that’s quite enough to have me enthusiastically humming Disney villain songs loudly and in public.* Currently, I’m on Poor…… Continue reading Thoughts on… Spending Monday in Mexico
New and Unexpected Housemate
I have a housemate called Lenny. I don’t know when he moved in. He lives in the bathroom. I noticed him for the first time the other day. I opened the door, turned on the light, and there he was. “Oh.” I said. “Hi.” He froze, then ran for cover. He hid in the corner…… Continue reading New and Unexpected Housemate
Ghost In The Cell(Phone)
I may not be active on the dating scene, but I am aware that the times they are a-changing and these days it’s all about the swiping. I know that mirror selfies are a hard swipe left, and photos with dogs are a swipe right, and when I’m talking to friends who are users of…… Continue reading Ghost In The Cell(Phone)
