I might have mentioned on one or two occasions how disgusted I am by ugg boots. Granted, technically I am not qualified to pass judgement on fashion-related topics, seeing that I am not exactly a style icon. I do, however, have a little something called ‘common sense’ at my command. That, and the decency not to assault [...]

I have lived in the UK for nigh on three years now, and the thing that keeps boggling my mind is just how paranoid the island monkeys are. Boys can’t wear tights or play with dolls because that’s for girls, and girls only. Imagine the damage if your boy did these things! He’d surely grow a [...]

Snow and I have an ambivalent relationship. I used to hate snow. Don’t ask. Suffice it to say it’s cold, wet, and inconvenient if you have to go places. In big cities, like the one I grew up in, it also isn’t exactly pretty as it turns grey quickly. Or yellow. Never mind. Then came [...]

Thanks, Nathan, over at The Life and Times of Nathan Badley, for rescuing me from a predicament. I have been in Germany for the last six days, collecting fodder for my special Valentine’s Day post. Incidentally, this has made it a bit difficult for me to get into the ranting mood in order to produce something by [...]

Yours truly
I have been many things in my life, from HR manager to dive instructor, from swim coach to wildlife ranger. Right now I am a somewhat bored housewife, so I write.
