I was recalled to work a few days early. Explaining this to my Son did not go well. My rotation partner had an unfortunate accident. Thankfully he is American and I could deflect the blame at America. Members of the USA basketball team, I apologise for the nerf bullets that were shot at our TV. […]
It turns out oral surgery is not the best base for blogging. Plenty of blood and tears but the sweat escapes me. I have been enjoying peaceful time in my temporary super accomodation. I did make a couple of supplementary excursions that were not treatment related. The abundance of time distorting commercial enterprises with attached […]
I flew Etihad to Bangkok. Having not flown Etihad before I was most impressed. I paid a nominal fee to blank out the seat next to me for the first leg. The service was on point. I especially enjoyed the flight attendants roaming routinely chanting instructions. Put your seat up, and the row numbers to […]
Lingering in Verona was a wise decision. I spied a slogan about it being the most Italian of cities. I certainly reconnected with some of the better facets of Italia. Nurtured nature. Centuries on show. Gelato. Speaking of which we ate exceptionally well in Italia. Silvi unironically ate some horse. What a Woman. We left […]
Verona was founded in 49BC. Its geographical location between Venice and Milan has always given it significance for trade, defence and tourism. Our day began in a whimsical fashion. We engaged in some vague shopping. Instagram and guided tours have sadly destroyed Juliet’s balcony. We did find a nice place for lunch. Just like Venice […]
Have you ever woken up before your mind and body? I did yesterday. Silvis 3:10 am alarm was pulsing on the bedside table. I pleasantly let her know it was time to wake up. Half an hour later my body and mind had worked out something was up. Our trip to Italy was unfolding. Barcelona […]
I had a very lazy Monday, eating a vegan buffet from the hotel and visiting the nearest beach. Barcelona was in the middle of a thunderstorm and just one hour away the weather was perfect. I made my way to Playa Soleil for my 8pm dinner reservation. A beach club, with a large assortment of […]
I first went to Ibiza in 2010, I dallied long, missing flights and rebooking accommodation. Things have changed a bit but the thing that brought me back is still in abundance. Quality music and spectacular nature. Last night I went to the Space Eat and Dance restaurant on the boardwalk at San Antonio. The vantage […]
No bueno. I woke strewn across the bed in an undignified manner. Silvi was not there. I had had uncharacteristic bouts of flatulence throughout the night. I sheepishly thought these may have driven the Domestic Goddess to the lounge. I did find her in the lounge, she had been vomiting every hour since 2am. She […]
Hello new readers 🙂 Welcome back older readers. It was 11pm on Thursday when I was found falling asleep catching up on Episode 5 of The Boys in Bed. Needless to say Friday began very slowly. The running household gag has been adjusting to the Spanish time zone after a couple of months working in […]
