Had a good laugh the other day with a senior member of the travel industry. We were talking about technology and how that has changed the way we travel and indeed the way we live. It seems such a short while ago that getting an email address was a new thing and now the kids… Continue reading Remember when?
Sit me down
We do a lot of sitting these days – think about it. Many of us sit for our jobs and then we go home and sit and watch the tv. OK, there is a bit in between with housework, gardening and cooking but for the most part, we do a lot of sitting. That’s why… Continue reading Sit me down
Queues and cannibals
Well we have all heard about the long wait times to get into the passport office. Now some enterprising individuals are making money as per this article today in OpenJaw – “As passport renewal wait times remain lengthy, and line ups of hours or even days confront those who want to speed up the process… Continue reading Queues and cannibals
A wayward Robo-cop
First I need to explain. Robo-cop is what we call our Roomba and I bought this device in the vain hope that it would take care of all my cleaning problems. Hmmm. Having returned from a two week trip to Europe during which time I lifted not a finger, I came home to find the… Continue reading A wayward Robo-cop
A load of horse
I think that there are better ways to describe myself than that – but of course I am not the one at the keyboard but merely the subject of this woman’s blog.

Let’s have a fun evening where we all dress up Western/Disco/70’s/20’s or some other era. I can guarantee that there are a few members of that group who think to themselves… Continue reading Dressing up
Light the candles
No I am not talking about on the birthday cake …. but strangely we did this last Sunday and there was much excitement from the two year old when he was presented with a plate of cup cakes each with a lit candle – lots of blowing and shouting “cup cakes for EVERYONE!!” What I… Continue reading Light the candles
Sleepy head
My closet talk this morning got me thinking about sleep and how important it is. Didn’t see my closet talk – here you go! Every year at this time we talk about the time change and how it messes up our schedule so what happens when we fly to the other side of the world… Continue reading Sleepy head
Help me with a title
I keep threatening that one of these days I am going to write a book about my travel experiences – both as a traveller and a travel agent! The only thing I am struggling with is a title. I thought I had it when I announced to the girls in the office that I was… Continue reading Help me with a title
New flavours
So it seems that our taste for potato chips is getting very sophisticated. But before we go any further on that topic I have to clear something up. Chips (to me) are what you call fries and what you call chips would be crisps. Very confusing. Also is there anybody out there who remembers the… Continue reading New flavours
