On a recent trip to Nairobi National Park I had a lot of fun spotting giraffes, and playing hide and seek with them…
This was the first one I spotted, and he was VERY good at hiding, right in the middle of the trees.
Well many of you will have seen how deeply in love I fell with Senegal on my recent work trip there. It’s stunningly gorgeous, and fun, laid-back, and relaxed. I could happily live there forever.
However, almost as soon as I arrived home, I barely had time to unpack, cuddle the cats, and get a new visa before I was headed for Nairobi, where I’ll be based for the next 5 weeks or so.
Here I am at the Kenyan Embassy collecting my visa…
Can’t wait to go looking for giraffes! I bloody love them!
Many of you will know that my hair has gone through many iterations of colours and styles over the years. If you don’t, you should read my post The many comedy hairstyles of Maya, Alpac-a-like, and Hair-raising.
And recently I underwent a transformation from semi-normal to Mermaid in order to raise some money for cancer research.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a work trip to Senegal, which was wonderful and amazing (and really hard work!). We spent a week in Dakar, and a week in Somone, and it was magical. I loved it, and … Continue reading
This is a dish that my sister made for me recently, which was pretty much one of the best things I’ve ever had in my mouth. Apparently it’s an old Delia Smith recipe, and I have used my sister’s variation on this, rather than the original, which has more coconut milk and the addition of peanuts, which only makes it more delicious.
It’s very quick and easy to make, however you’ll need to prep the chicken the night before for the best effect. Continue reading
Ok, so this one is NOT for those of you on a diet.
It is utterly delicious and it is so full of naughty things it’s not worth counting the calories.
The recipe comes from BBC GoodFood, although I first discovered it at a friend’s BBQ, and it was just unbelievably good. I have experimented with this recipe, and made it both in individual ramekins as well as one large one. Continue reading

A fab weekend in Melbourne, officially my favourite city in the world, to see some old friends and generally be as hip as possible. View of the snowy mountains from the plane… Eating a ludicrously hip (but delicious) brunch at … Continue reading

My bedroom in the process of a well-honed packing process. It’s not chaotic at all, honest. Got my plane essentials – neck pillow and panda mask, check! Some pics from out and about near my dad’s house in Crow’s Nest. … Continue reading
After my previous post Death vs Taxes, in which I outlined the ongoing saga of my tax disaster, there have been some improvements in the whole thing. However sadly there has also been some death, so I thought I would write about both here. Continue reading
