Neverwhat? Neverwhy, Neverwhen, Neverhow, Neverwho, Neverwhere
One of my favourite authors, who is close to being favourite author of all time if he keeps being so cool, is releasing one of his already published books on the interwebs for free. For real, gratis. This is all in honour of his blog’s 7th birthday. He has put up an online poll to […]
Pesky pre-primary pussyfooting
Any semi-regular reader (that’s you, you and you over there who reads the food posts) can guess on which arm of the political spectrum I lie. (Or quadrant, if left and right are too simple for you.) So you must have been rather pleased that I haven’t been inundating these pages1 with posts about the […]

For the love of a shopping cart
Loving my latest bag. No, I didn’t get the Mulberry in the end. Probably wasn’t Fair Trade and all… Instead, I splurged on… A shopping trolley. Yes, the type your granny has. They were ubiquitous in the wet markets of Singapore, lugging freshly sac-ed chicken carcasses down slick tiled alleys between the fish, pork and […]
2008
The first of very many technicolour sunsets in 2008.
Happy Pagan Winter Festival
I missed the Winter Solstice by a few days, but since Christmas has all but replaced it in modern Roman Empire times, this seems a good a day as any to wish one and all well at the end of the Gregorian year. No tree or branches this year, but a stainless steel photo holder […]
