I’m finally improved from my strange virus which, as it turns out, school children all over North Wales have been suffering from as well. On Tuesday [...]
Eurgh…
Apologies for the lack of updates lately. I have some sort of mystery virus that includes feeling queasy all the time, having an absolutely splitting headache, and feeling like my brain is too big for my skull. I’m almost convinced it’s glandular fever, but who knows. Anyway, updates will be less frequent than usual until [...]
The tapeworm tablet diet… is it real?
Although all my clothes still fit me I know I’ve managed to gain a tiny bit of weight while on holidays in Italy (and who wouldn’t, with all that gorgeous pastry and pasta?), so I’ve been pondering whether I should go on a diet. Jokingly, I emailed one of my best friends Kate (who [...]
Bank Holiday weekends are evil.
I have a keen dislike for Bank Holiday weekends. For starters, I have to say that I think the Australian term for having an official nation-wide ‘day off’ from work is far more accurate than the British term. We Aussies refer to these blessed days as ‘Public Holidays’, because that’s exactly what they [...]
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?
I’m reading the biography of Beatrix Potter at the moment, and her life story has really inspired me. I was familiar with her background already - I knew she’d remained unmarried until quite late in her life, and I knew she’d pushed to have her books published even when it may have been considered [...]
Tuesday Tie-Up #3
I’ve been away in Italy, so I expect this Tuesday Tie-Up will be short and sweet. If only life was always this simple.
I’m working my butt off over at Desirable.co.uk, but completely behind the scenes so to speak. This means I feel like I’m getting no where, although I probably am getting somewhere. Only time [...]
The wonders of Italian food
Now that I’ve had time to sleep and recover from the RyanAir flight from hell, I’m feeling much more inclined to talk about all the delicious Italian food I’ve sampled over the last two weeks.
The Antipasto:
One of the best things about Italy is the antipasto, which is effectively the dish you eat first with your [...]
As much as I love Italian food…
…it sure is good to be back in the land of roast dinners and cups of tea. Nevertheless, my passionate love affair with Italy continues, and I’m even more convinced that I could happily live there at some point in the future (as long as I didn’t have to drive anywhere or queue for any [...]
Ciao!
Tomorrow morning at an ungodly hour Rob and I are off to Italy for two weeks. We’re flying into Rome (via Ryan Air so who knows how that will go… last time we flew to Rome on Ryan Air we had to beat old ladies with fur hats and kids with bags of duty free [...]
The UK versus AUS continues: terminology differences
One of the things that never fails to cause an argument in my house is what words are used to describe certain objects. Terminology is a funny thing - even if you understand the word the other person uses to refer to an object or item, you still will only use the word you’re [...]
