Good morning bircher muesli
From La Tartine Gourmande, 1 year ago Similar articles
You know, it’s one of these times in my life when I am not able to keep up with everything. House, work, Lulu, nous, Christmas, birthday parties and recent travels. I am sure I am not alone, am I' In fact, I had forgotten how much energy moving and settling into a new home takes. It’s fulfilling. Exciting. Tiring. But in the end, amazing. We are lucky to have this large space–Lulu loves it, and that makes us really happy. So what have I been up to' I am still organizing the...

A satisfying run
From Lioness in Japan, Today, Similar articles
I used to run the 11km around Macritchie Reservoir with the kangaroo. I would always find it so hard to drag myself there and dodging trees roots and tripping over rocks would always make me groan inwardly, “Why the hell do I do this to myself'” But it always feels so damn good after I emerge from the jungle of trees. It’s one of my favourite places in Singapore. Do try and go for a hike or a run at least once if you are in Singapore. What’s the point of being in a...

So, the continuation of the story of the weekend's walk will have to wait. Per això, l'historia del cap de setmana haurà d'esperar.Cause I was at the hairdresser's on Tue getting my hair dressed (cut) and he was telling me about this break up the week walk he was going to do with a friend (and fellow hairdresser. They were going to leave super early Wed morning, climb Puig Mal (2911 M) and come back for lunch. I asked, slightly pathetically, if I could come and he said...
Half Time
From Ali Blah Blah, Yesterday, Similar articles
I did it! My first half marathon. Two hours twenty-one minutes. 99% running, 1% waiting to go to the bathroom. 10lbs lost over six months and nearly 200 miles of training runs. It has been an amazing, exhilarating and crazy journey.  The icing on the cake was feeling good and being able to enjoy the whole race, having friends cheering from the sidelines, and then running across the finish line with Anna and Lucy. What a perfect way to spend Mothers Day weekend.I'll write more when I...
Tuesday evening games-fest II
From This is Cyprus, Yesterday, Similar articles
It's nearly eight months since my good friend Joan and I, in the temporary absence of our husbands, held a five-hour 'games fest' evening. It so happens that this week, once again, our menfolk are away at the same time. So we thought we might try a re-run. Â Not that it was quite the same... for one thing, I knew I would not be able to walk even as far as the local Souvlaki Express. Â I thought I had bruised my toes badly three weeks ago. The advice and observations of various...
Happy 40th, my love
From Lioness in Japan, Yesterday, Similar articles
Happy birthday to the kangaroo! Today is the actual day but his birthday feels longer than an Indian wedding twice over. He has had celebrations in New York, Wiesbaden, Singapore (twice: once with friends and once with my folks as shown in the photos above), Sydney (will post this soon), tonight with Mrs Kangaroo who flew in from Sydney this morning, and the grand finale this Saturday with our Tokyo friends. I think he actually likes being 40…since he is celebrating it so many...

Even Silence Has an End
From Plantains and Palm Trees, Yesterday, Similar articles
From the memoir of Ingrid Betancourt, a Colombian politician held hostage by the FARC for 6 years: A few months before I was captured, I visited the Good Shepherd women’s prison in Bogota. I had been impressed by those women who wore makeup and wanted to lead a normal life in their isolated world. Prison was a microcosm, a little planet of its own. [...] I felt sorry for the women, and I was touched by the anxious way they had of asking for little favors, as if they were asking for the...
May In Seattle
From Here There and Everywhere, Yesterday, Similar articles
From the bone chilliing 47 degrees mid-day on my arrival, the temperatures in Seattle flew up up and up. By Sunday, the American Mother’s Day, the temperatures were up 30 something degrees, in the mid to high 70′s, and Monday and Tuesday were the same. Good thing we got most of the heavy sorting and tossing andhauling done during the beautiful, but cooler weather before the weekend. We had a lovely Mother’s Day, Mom got to sit out in the sun, under a huge umbrella, got to...
The house is taking shape!
From Africa Expat Wives Club, 2 days ago, Similar articles
? The trees are still standing. Note the wobbly/homemade ladder. ?  ? looking forward to having coffee on the balcony off our new bedroom ? ? old kitchen downstairs, new one on the left seems huge and caverous ? The house/palazzo is taking shape, very exciting! Enormous crashes and bangs going on around my ears as I type - but no death or injury yet'! (We are all getting good at scaling up wobbly ladders that don't look to be able to stand our weight).
