Kiwis seem to love giving titles (whether they’re national or international) to their towns, cities and regions. The usual “Welcome to…” sign is followed by the title that the place conquered to itself (and sometimes even includes a big sculpture of whatever they excel at - like a big carrot, in Ohakune for example). Makes [...]

Right, I’m a little behind since it is no longer the 15 of October on this side of the world but it still is in other places so I can still join the people doing Blog Action Day and talk about an issue related to climate change. I want to stick to the subject - [...]

Fine, I admit it, I have nothing interesting to say. But I wanted to post an image of the last cupcake of the batch that we cooked on Saturday because it is cute and fun and by being cute and fun it sums up the weekend quite nicely. It was all good lazy fun and [...]

I’ve been a bookworm pretty much ever since I learnt to read. One of my biggest disappointments in life is that I’m a really slow reader and [...]

a while ago, the lovely lua challenged a few of us to post photos of our toiletry items. I kept forgetting to take that photo but last night, when I finally remembered to do it, I realised that, if in some aspects i’m a real girlie-girl, that is not one of them. Not being a [...]
