In each glamourous life, a little laundry must be done. So that’s why I’m sitting in a hot little laundromat called Lavapiumone in Bologna on a Monday night.
From the pictures it looked pretty nice. Clearly it was a promo shot. I was really supposed to go to LaveLave but somehow missed it altogether. It had seats. Continue reading
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything’s startin’ to hum
Still, it’s a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Between trying to organise my life, juniors, and my parents PLUS taking night school, I have been terribly remiss in posting.
BUT the dust is settling, my friends, and I’ve got lots of good reading coming your way: Continue reading

So another new year rolls round and there are tons of lists out there. Some round up the past year by listing the ‘best of’ or people who died.
Others look forward to the new year by listing top ten resolutions, getting fit tips, self improvement ideas, etc.
With you gone, I’m alive,
Makes me feel like I took happy pills,
Nora Jones, Happy Pills
Happy Pills
The events of last year caught up to me and I was having a hard time getting over it.
But I didn’t want to go on serious chemicals. Been there, done that. I resorted to St. John’s Wort which had helped in the past. Continue reading
could use some patience, yeah

Guns and Roses, Patience
Patience has never been my strong suit.
Apparently patience can be learned. Even though universe constantly puts me in situations that require patience, I’m loathe to learn it.
I’ll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years.
Nothin’s gonna touch you in these golden years.
David Bowie, Golden Years
It was croissant Friday, payday, and I was treating myself to the usual croissant. At 7 a.m., upon entering my favourite patisserie, I caught the tail end of Bowie’s song, V2 Schneider. I hadn’t heard it in years: since the wasband decommissioned my turn table in fact. The next song was Golden years and memories came flooding back. My eyes started to tear up thinking about the song.

The Danish Canuck
After many months, a delightful trip to Denmark (See the Danish Canuck for the highlights), and the inevitable depression that follows, I’m back.
No doubt many of you have given up on me. Frankly I’d kinda given up on myself. Continue reading
It’ll be just like starting over – starting over
John Lennon Starting over
After a year of stress and eating my way through it, once again I stand on the scale and am not happy with the number on it. It’s time to start over. Once more, into the healthy eating and exercise fray, my friends. Once more!
In my usual fashion, I begin by scouring the net, looking at diet plans, reading advice, checking out possible magazines that could provide inspiration. Continue reading
