Right here’s another one for you. You’ll need to be sitting down. Yesterday my friend shoved a picture in front of my face and told me to stare at it. ‘I’m not much good at these staring until a picture jumps out at you things,’ I said as my eyes went fuzzy. If I was …
I’m writing this about friends of ours – friends whose company I enjoy a lot. But I’m never going to have dinner with either of them again. That’s because they’ve given up eating. As in solids. As in chewing. And you thought I was lazy. And they’re not doing this indefinitely. No, they’re doing this …
Oh dear. It all started about ten days ago. A concert Afro Moses Cool Franti’s Villa Pool Party Awesome Raise money Raffle Fundraiser ‘Sarah can you ask Leila to be a raffle girl?’ ‘Ooooh I like, like one of those 1950s cigarette girls’ ‘Yeah, short skirt, a little hat, part men from their cash …

I figured out that in the last two weeks we’ve travelled far more than we ever did in 6 months travelling. I’m not sure how that is possible. What I do know is that 4000 miles of California’s highways and country lanes are infinitely more alluring than the M1, that the only thing left in …
Welcome Home, the helium balloon that welcomes us says. Except it’s not really home. Or it doesn’t feel it. But then after a day it does. Having had an emotional breakdown at the baggage carousel where I almost climbed on it, rotated through to the runway strip and tried to stow away on the next …
5. Cycling. John says cycling up the volcano in Bali. If you recall I cycled DOWN. Except it wasn’t down. So that doesn’t feature on my highlight list. But cycling around the riverfront in Perth does. Because it was flat. 6. Swimming to Palolem Purely because I made it. 7. 12 hour train ride to …
