I’ve been feeling really guilty because one of my friends was in town this week and I told her I couldn’t meet her for lunch. It’s really been a shocking week at work – I won’t – and seriously, can’t – go into details about why, but it was the sort of week during which […]
Tonight, Jac is at her hockey club’s cocktail party with some of her friends and her teammates. I’m going to enjoy a night alone, watching DVDs and updating this site. So here I am, trying to catch up on postings, which is the usual story on a weekend. This was breakfast last Sunday – Chinese […]

On Thursday I had lunch at Wagamama with my sister jl, on a short visit from Sydney, and her best mate M. Here’s M’s grown-up drink (M and jl each had a glass of white wine) and my kiddie one – well not really, but side by side it kind of looks that way! My […]
