It is an immense pleasure to be together at Xmas even if it is so damned expensive. In fact the money disappears like sand making me wonder if we can afford to eat after he flies back to school. I will have to live on memories of restaurants for a while instead of their menu [...]

I have sufficient, some would even say too much, experience with alcohol to know that looking through a bottle, or a glass, definitely changes the view point.

Although this shows a female at her desk the fact is that I found myself in a very similar position when I restarted work after my break and feel a shade overwhelmed. However I do have the great pleasure of having our youngest son with us. I am rather confused as to why he has [...]

How unusual, I have just returned to Doha from the Phils having had a holiday during which very little has gone wrong. No incarceration in hospital, no other disasters, and a great time. We found a pleasant open bar and restaurant only 25 minutes from our country place, enabling me to indulge in non-Phils food [...]
