Pay it forward

May 4, 2009 – 10:19 am

Last Thursday, I was approaching what I call my ‘meltdown hour’—feeding two tired, cranky kids and putting them to bed while they fight sleep every inch of the way—when I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to send an important work email. I dipped into my study with my stress levels soaring through the roof and [...]

Happy birthday Caterina!

April 21, 2009 – 2:39 pm

My baby turns one today and officially becomes a toddler. She went from this… To this… In just twelve short months. Since you turn one only once in your life, we are going to celebrate in style. We had a party with my parents last Sunday, we are having a little family do today, and [...]

Please help Ron Pierotti

April 20, 2009 – 12:51 pm

Call it my soft, weak, European free-care-for-all side, but I find it both horrifying and heart-wrenching that a man with a brain tumour is left to die simply because he can’t afford to pay the $250,000-plus surgery that could save his life. I don’t know Ron Pierotti or his wife, JoAnnA, but I know of [...]

Spring in Sardinia

April 15, 2009 – 12:58 pm

I have just returned from the most luxuriant Spring I have ever experienced. After a mild, wet winter, north-eastern Sardinia was in full bloom, and what a bloom. The colours were dazzling—the vivid yellow of mimosa and gorse, the pale purple of topped lavender, the candid white of rock rose, against tall verdant grasses, deep [...]

Spring views on a grey day

April 8, 2009 – 10:26 am

Today the sky is as grey as it gets, laden with unshed rain, You can almost feel the dampness weighing on you. But we had some signs of Spring blooming a few days ago, which I captured on my camera. I am enjoying them while I wait for the weather to improve (and my weather-induced [...]
