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
The curse or blessing of tech
If you saw my closet talk ….. …. you will understand how I feel about technology. It is hard to believe that when I first came to Canada in 1995 having an email address was a rare thing. Now everybody has one. In fact, many people have two or three. One for family, one for… Continue reading The curse or blessing of tech
New travel rules
Just listened to the press conference. I will be posting a full update of the new rules and regulations – just want to get it in writing first. The good news is that the Government advisory to avoid non essential travel is being lifted – and I am happy to hear that. This past two… Continue reading New travel rules
To test or not to test
That is the question…..we are all asking. Canada is the only G7 country to require pre-entry testing from fully vaxxed citizens. But let’s talk about testing. The rapid antigen test…. did you manage to get hold of a few? They were in demand that’s for sure. When the announcement was first made long line ups… Continue reading To test or not to test
Cool runnings
Wasn’t that a great movie? And isn’t it wonderful to see that Jamaica is sending a bobsled team to the Olympics – helped out by Sandals resorts who are covering travel costs and other assistance to make sure the team can compete. The film aired in 1993 and at that time I was living in… Continue reading Cool runnings
Comb your hair
I just have to laugh sometimes – otherwise, I might cry. What is it about some people? Ugh. Give them a computer and a sign in (usually not their real name) and they get out there on social media and just get mean. What is the satisfaction for these people? Bet they would never have… Continue reading Comb your hair
The hot seat
Just read a travel article where the writer said that one of his favourite hotel amenities is the heated toilet seat. If you have been to Japan you will have no doubt experienced this for yourself. I just love this guy’s description of his first experience with a Japanese toilet. “Why, I wondered then, had… Continue reading The hot seat
Beach etiquette
Wouldn’t you love to be on a beach now …. somewhere in the Caribbean or perhaps the South Pacific. Sunny, warm, just the sound of the waves. Gosh I am almost asleep as I sit here gazing out the window at the snow and slush outside. At least it is not as cold as it… Continue reading Beach etiquette
Happy New Year habits
So how did you celebrate the New Year? I think a lot of us had a very quiet New Year maybe just at home or with a couple of friends. But I wonder if you remember what colour underwear you wore that night? There’s a reason. The colour will apparently dictate what sort of year… Continue reading Happy New Year habits
Will it be better?
That is the big question as we go into 2022 …. it is nearly two years now and the time has been filled with highs and lows. Highs when we thought we had COVID covered and then the lows when Omicron reared its ugly head. So how will we feel when the clock strikes and… Continue reading Will it be better?
