Prowess in the kitchen …. level dragon tamer! The biting cold… countered by a warm fire and a soft blanket. Hotel Transylvania…. Makes me want to be a monster too.

A sudden call to have a Christmas gift returned got me in touch with the weird logic of the national postal service being more expensive and slower than a courier. An impromptu session and a concert by the gorgeous SV. She had me speaking in tongues. Caramel shortbread and Bakewell tarts. So much for dieting… […]

Silhouettes against the morning sky. A silent reminder to keep on moving. After the news I’ve had, not a bad suggestion. Met friends of A. Friends she grew up with. The camaraderie was evident, also the similarities… warm, big hearted, and gentle. Was the first time I drove back from Madrid during almost “peak” hours. […]

My car broke down when I was leaving for work and the kindest security guard took care of it because I had to rush to work. Some of the kindest persons are right there and you probably pass them by without a hello. Stop today and greet them. Smile and make their day. And yours. […]

A visit from above. Well, I mean the team member who went to work above. It’s strange how anger and rancour fade with time. While in the metro, chanced upon this “Caution sticker” that looked like a grumpy cat. Security sensitive and a designer… just what the world needs. The neighbours are back in town. […]
