  • Parenthood – the sum of my knowledge

    2012-05-05

    I found out the other day that a guy I know’s wife is pregnant. It’s funny how, as a newbie parent myself, it’s so tempting to offer advice. I also had a conversation this week with someone else who was talking about the dilemma of offering this kind of ‘help’. And the longer I am […]

    So…after much deliberation, and with a hint of guilt, we put a deposit on a new car today. It was not a quick or easy decision, but our old car is fast approaching 100’000 miles, is slowly generating a few faults, and with the arrival of Isaac, is just too small – once the buggy […]

  • Hats off to the Twitter Knitters

    2012-01-27

    2011-06-13

  • Routine

    2011-05-30

    I’m a far-from-compulsively over-organised person and I like to think that I’m quite balanced: we need to be organised to get things done, but being TOO organised can, in my opinion, hinder your work. But…it’s gotten a little too chaotic around here. I’m not overloaded. It’s actually been quite quiet of late. But with working […]

    Yesterday was St Valentine's Day and, while we're not big celebrators of this event, it's good to remember and to celebrate.

    We won't be recreating Hellzapoppin anytime soon, but it's nice to be doing something new.
