My daily life
I thought I'd just give an example of a typical week day for me. Just for the fun of it. Maybe it'll help you get to know me a bit more. If you want to, that is. If you don't, … Read more …
Disciplining kids
I hate watching tv. I never watch it – unless it distracts me when someone else is watching it. Eg. Deidre. Tonight there was a show about a ‘supernanny’ helping a couple change the habits of their 4 kids. This … Read more …

Where am I from? What have I been doing?
I've had an interesting life so far, doing many things and living in many places. Apparently I've been typical for a Sagittarian, never settling down, always seeking out travel and excitement. It's the fresh air blowing in my hair, and … Read more …
The end of a chapter
A few years ago there was a Japanese lady called Wakana. It was one of those strange relationships – I met her and didn't think much of her. Then, the next thing I knew, we're been going out together for … Read more …
