Plants often play a very important part in my culture, often symbolising many things like death, and life, and betrayal, and…love. Lots of other things depending on the species of flower or plant and the colour of the bloom. It reminds me of a scene in one of my favourite shows, ‘Nah, Ludo’ where that …
The best shows, in my humble and totally correct opinion, are the ones that are incredibly confusing. I might have made a detour to talk about Neo-Men-Assist San-Fran Comic-Con, but that one is a classic. Maybe it wears its heart on its sleeve and straight-up tells you its themes, plus it has a really cliched …
Movies sure are getting wackier nowadays. I just finished watching Bore: Magma Rocks, and it was alright as superhero films go. There aren’t many films that are about heroes with the power to bore through solid surfaces so that people can harvest magma, and there aren’t too many of THOSE around. Even less, you might …
When my son told us he wanted to play cricket, I’ve got to admit I felt pretty disappointed in him. In all honesty, he could have chosen any other sport and I’d have held back my thoughts- but soccer? Well, there’s just no escaping how I feel about it. Flash back to my tenth birthday. …
It’s really strange, but ever since I got my hair cut, I have this overwhelming urge to talk to people in charge. Sometimes there’s not even a reason behind it; I just walk by a place where it LOOKS like there’s someone in charge, and I feel the urge to go in and just…talk to …
It might well be tempting to go about a home renovation with the mindset that we can do it all. In actuality, you probably can not, and should instead trust the work to professionals. Things like electrical and plumbing problems should be handled by qualified and seasoned experts. There are other aspects of home renovations …
As the nanny of a number of children, I have to say that there are great parks, and there are definitely parks to avoid. I’m proficient in first aid and very up to date with current practise, but I also know that even the most unassuming play-space can be dangerous if you’re not careful. I …
You know those impossible-to-not-overhear phone conversations on public transport at peak hour? This guy on my train today was really taking the cake on that front. He had a booming voice that carried through the whole carriage, and he seemed oblivious to the fact that everyone else was silent. Listening in on the event passed …
My cat, Lucinda, has been behaving oddly the past couple of days. She’s been drinking an inordinate amount of water, and seems low on energy as well. Plus, she’s showing little interest in playing with my socks, which is generally her favourite evening past time. I think she might be due for a veterinary health …
I’ve always dislikes winter but last year was the absolute worst. While usually I’m just cold, cranky and unsociable, I was also suddenly without work. I’d been made redundant from a job I adored and had given everything up for. While I was given an respectable redundancy package, I didn’t do the whole ‘holiday and …
