The day I found out I was stupid.
You can’t roll over without getting a Spot the Dog book wedged into your back, a maraca in your face or a tiny finger up your nose.

Lou Lou’s Famous Fish Sticks
Turn one of the elements on full ball, and place a teflon frying pan on it. It works better if the teflon pan only has a bit of the teflon left on it. Add a little hint of oil and then leave until it gets smoky. Check Facebook account or make international phone call at this time.
Do you enjoy walking around with your pants undone?
At week 11 I was in maternity pants and by week 14 people were giving me a seat on the tube. Questions about the number of children I was carrying arrived at week 20.
The World’s Hottest Party
Bound for Scandinavia? Then there is a risk you might be invited into a small room, heated to almost 100°C and then asked to take your clothes off. Welcome to the world’s hottest party.
The Year of the Dragon
The Year of the Dragon. That was the theme that the Swedish Husband and myself set for ourselves at the beginning of the year along with my other resolutions which were 1) at least 3 cups of tea per day and 2) no meetings before 10am.
The Crown of Fun
You should never compete with your partner for the affection of your children. I say that purely because it's a battle I'm never going to win.
Another day, another cream bum.
Oh Sweden, another day, another cream bun. And not just any cream bun. I’m talking about a plump, cream filled organza called Semla and a special day dedicated to eating them.
Knut and confused
I love living in Sweden, especially when it means you get to be lazy.
Up north, those crazy Swedes like to leave their Christmas tree and decorations all in place for quite a bit and it’s not until 20 days after Christmas, that you actually have to bother taking them down. So that’s a good 3 weeks of post-Christmas lulling around you can enjoy, before you need to get your butt off the couch to start packing things away.
The Height of Romance
Santorini - part 2
Another large explosion occurred many, many years ago on the island; tourism with a capital T. Many restaurants, particularly around Fira are hectic tourist traps with prices similar to the views – spectacular. Get out of the tourist loop by heading towards the Catholic cathedral and settle into one of the oversized couches at Casablanca Lounge Restaurant.
Sunsets, scenery and one smoking volcano
Santorini Part 1
A student? Family man? Rich bastard? Fear not, there is something for everyone on the spectacular island of Santorini.
Santorini’s not half the place it used to be. Literally. 3,500 years ago, a large volcano erupted –probably the biggest explosion in recorded history – and the heart of the island collapsed and fell down into the bottom of the lake. The result? One of Greece’s most spectacular islands, with none more famed for its beauty.
