I Don’t Know How She Does It
Despite being located in Indonesia, the official religion in Bali is Hinduism- but a different sort of Hinduism to what is practised in India. I won’t get into details here (mainly because I’ll probably get them wrong!), but is has to do with what the Balinese worship in addition to Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. They…

no regrets- they’re so last year…
New Years Eve is usually a time for looking back- that whole auld lang syne thing. It is about taking stock of what has been achieved over the year, what hasn’t been achieved, what you’ve done, what you’ve not done. Who has come into your life, who has gone out of your life, who has…

Declaration of Intent
The other day, before the Moon moved into Sagittarius, I declared (in hindsight, possibly a little rashly) that I was not having any cocktails until Christmas (Bintang doesn’t count and is cheaper than a bottle of water back home) and that I was going to get my breakfast solely from the bar that served salads…

how do I love thee? let me count the ways…

and all at once I wake up…
The other night we went to a play to learn about electricity. Actually, it was to learn about a guy named Nikola Tesla- the man who worked out how to harness power and electrify society. We went with friends and there was, of course, wine involved. Put on by Ausgrid (an Aussie energy company), it…

Total Eclipse…and all that…
As I write this, I have half an eye on a piece of pork belly that I am attempting to blister the crackling on before pouring milk into the pan to cook it slowly. Scented with sage, the milk will tenderise the meat so it should melt off the fork. I’m serving it with thyme…
