I love the sheer stupidity of it. And I love “replete”. I shall use it more often.

My Polish speaker is asleep, but I will confirm the meaning of the word later ;) Sounds lovely. Did I tell you I met Jimi briefly, years ago, and he was lovely, too? I’m sure I did.

I would love to have been Daphne Du Maurier. Not only does her life read like a great, enjoyable romp, we also share many of the same interests, an obsession with the past being one of them. Du Maurier made her […]

I educated the kid today and took her to see an Indian concert, which was ace. It also involved cycling all the way through town with a 22-kilo child on the back of the bike, so I certainly deserve cake! Tomorrow […]

Greetings, citizens! While nothing major has happened this past week, there are so many curious behind-the-scenes developments that I’m starting to suspect Europe might just be losing it. But onwards and upwards, […]

Have you seen the Krakow version with the dancing priests? Squeeeeee.

Amen. Those Game of Thrones guys? I give up. (One has fuller lips than the other. Or not?)

What the heck IS calculus?

That’s your muscles enjoying the work-out!

Spring is in the air, and I can’t be the only person who feels energetic and ready to take up some sort of regular exercise. But time is short and classes are expensive, and who wants to spend their precious free […]

Maaaaaaan. Two kids’ parties, and swimming, and cycling, and now vodka and THE END. I’m only half alive.

Naw. Daddies wearing babies is a sweet thing.
Karo commented on the post, News in Europe: Ukraine Just Got Smaller 6 years, 3 months ago

I KNOW! It’s unbelievable. I guess they just donate stuff to the Red Cross, which, hey, is good enough. But still…
Karo wrote a new post, Expat Ramblings: In Praise Of England 6 years, 3 months ago

Last week, while scouting for ideas for my article about weird English things, I started a Facebook thread that proved extremely popular. Most of my German expat friends had a lot to say about taps, windows and a […]
