Hot Shop In The City
Two months a go, when I was enjoying my (another) holiday, I bumped into Bart in Cazbar at lunch time. The last time I saw him was probably in our wedding, as he had relocated to Bali and we moved to Scotland, so it was a nice surprise to see him again. He told me [...]
Missing Scotland
Maybe because it’s summer, sunny and hot and it’s Christmas and there’s supposed to be cold and snow. Certainly because Walker’s shortbreads are sold everywhere but I know nothing compares to granny mck’s homemade ones: straight from the oven full of real butter, and made by love. Or maybe I am just still in culture [...]
Hard To Say Goodbye
….. To our mobile provider. I have been Mrs. Maciphone since last year, and having so much fun using it. The first time I had it I didn’t really like it because it failed on basic mobile phone function, namely texting. It didn’t have a function to forward the message, let alone to copy and [...]

Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning: thorough cleaning, especially of a residence when winter is over. The first time I heard spring cleaning term was when I was working back in Indonesia. Every time we were ready to move a company to their new office space, the removals or movers would come to identify each staff’s items, pack them [...]
Hello From Down Under (2) – The First Shocking Moments
Shocked after landed in Perth under its glorious sunshine at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, I quickly reminded myself that we are no longer in Aberdeen, where it gets dark before 4 PM, where it is cold, windy, and wet all day. We were discussing the best option to get into our temporary apartment (Emirates [...]
Hello From Down Under (1) – The Journey
The confirmation finally came when I was still enjoying my holiday in Indonesia. Yes, we’re moving to Perth, Australia (not Perth, near Glasgow!). The date was finally agreed. Yes, it’s 26 November. Lots of emails went back and forth about how we get there (they sent us a booking with Qantas, I wholeheartedly refused – [...]
