  • Is it just me?….

    Or does my Niece Number 4 (Cathy's older clog-sproglet, Lily Rose) look weirdly like Cameron Diaz here? Bi-zarre 'wide-mouthed frog-I-could-be-in-There's-Something-About-Mary' look going on…. Views? (You'll have to put your head on one side, am sure the likeness is better the right way up!)

  • Dogbeast Meets White Stuff

    Sitting here, just back from Joburg, getting somewhat distracted by four footed insane creature going loopy at the sight of her tiny garden turning a whiter shade of pale. I never knew a dog could jump vertically so high up sliding doors, the barrier between her and all things freezing… Mr H has cunningly naffed off…

  • Yo from Jo(burg)

    Greetings earthlings – feeling a bit chilly / damp / grey? Unlucky! Arrived in Joburg this morning and am holed up in the Da Vinci hotel (despite the client telling me we were in the Michaelangelo – get your ancient heroes right for goodness sake). Oh look my font's gone funny – hope this reads…

  • Doesn’t January kinda suck?

    Is it just me, or are we due one of those annual 'saddest/grimmest/crappiest day of the year' type days soon?

And with all things being equal, it's currently looking like Nepal will be 98 and Tibet 99, both in Feb – with Mozambique being 100 in March. Things…

  • In the Land of Clog

    Having been home from Arge all of 6 days, so it was obviously well overdue for me to set off for the airport again. Somewhat jumping the gun, SouthWest Scuzzycars turned up not just slightly early, but an entire day ahead of schedule, much to my non-delight at 7.15am on Monday morning. So off we…

  • Good news

    Argentina photos to come (lucky you hey?) – but thought I'd share the very very good pre-Xmas news with you. Had the 2-monthly joy of seeing Prof this Thursday. Mercifully quick one as he was doubled up on people having cancelled everyone (me included) from the day before. I got the results yesterday while in Waitrose,…

  • We’re baaaaaaaack

    So the 2 weeks of winter sun are truly done and dusted. Finally shook off the (yes it was only a) tummy bug with the second charming vomit in the hotel room sink. Oh yes, and over the bathmat, sorry Senora Cleaner. And that one was actually caused by me trying to take a tablet…
