If you throw that . . .
If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says? toy once more . . . I’ll run after it like a maniac! Yay!! This little perisher is Pippa. Don’t be fooled, she’s also known as “the black tornado”. Further comments would go along the lines of: ‘those slippers are delicious ‘,…

Homer’s “The Iliad”

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say? . . . you did your best!”. At least, that’s my preference. How it will turn out depends on a number of things that are not in my control. I will be trying to be a faithful husband, caring…

Huppa! Moussaka!
What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling? Not any old moussaka, no no no. My Aunty Helen’s, that’s the bees knees! If you’ve visited this space before, you’ll know I’ve done a few travels. My old Mum was Greek so I’ve got a predisposition to all cuisine Greek. Don’t knock it, my…

Look after your . . .
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? . . . tools/things, and they’ll look after you. How did that piece of advice land in my ears? When I was a teenager, my Dad [who was good at decorating, wallpapering, painting etc.] took me on one of his jobs and said this to me…
