Yesterday’s photos
I don’t appear to have taken photos today although I really should have taken some in Muji – the food, oh the Muji food! And we had a perfect lunch at Paragon – which I must say has been the most pleasant place on Orchard Road so far. Kinokuniya was overwhelming– it being the biggest…

Singapore
Well, we all survived the flight – in fact Astrid slept from take-off until they turned the breakfast lights on and we’ve been in Singapore a few hours and she’s asleep again. I’ve got to buy an adaptor to plug the laptop in so no photos yet – the juice on this might run out…

Working
We finally got a nanny for Astrid. Just before we leave. Don’t tell, but we’ve got Mary Poppins. She talks to Astrid all day long, sings songs, whistles, plays games, makes jokes, feeds, bathes, entertains, laughs, claps. She is Astrid’s friend. It’s brilliant hearing the goings on during the day while I’m working here in…

Dreaming of London
Things are falling into place left, right and centre. Our new home is all organised; we’ll be moving into quite the bohemian cottage – in my old street, only paces from the southern entrance to the Heath – very close to Parliament Hill. Right next door to my best friend, who’s moving back next week.…

London here we come
Tickets just booked for May 31st. One way. Back home. (We have two hometowns). Just how much longer can I contain my excitement? If I count on my fingers it’s only three and a bit months. View from Waterloo Bridge Jan 2006 Kevin, Waterloo Bridge Jan 2006

I have no plan
I have a couple of life mottos. One of them is ‘everything is always over in the end’ and the other I adopted after seeing it on a wall at said author’s house in Milton, Australia. I have no plan. I make minute~by~minute my plan. – Stuart Wilde So, today is shop update day. I…

Seeking help from Japan
I’ve been buying a lot of fabric from Japan recently – because I find it so much fun and I just love Japanese fabrics. Today I found a site that buys for you on Japanese Yahoo auctions but the fees are enormous. So, I thought I would put the question out there… is there a…

Sandy Bay
It’s been raining a lot lately. Which is good because I love the rain. Last Friday we dropped the cats off in Greenhithe and drove up to Whangarei where we bought food for eight. Then off we headed to the far reaches of Sandy Bay. Upon arrival I walked along the empty beach to the…

This
…is what happens when craft bloggers meet. They buy far too much cake. And then eat it all. (That’s actually a lie, we all had to take some home). Aunty Polly couldn’t believe her eyes at all the cakes to choose from. We had fun! Babychops liked playing with Lieveke’s toys. Now she wants a…
