I’m going to ‘fess up. I went into severe depression when Brazil got the pummeling of the century at the feet of the Germans in the World Cup. If you’re not a Brazil nut (yeah, go on) like I am, this might mean as much to you as finding ice in the Artic. For me, it […]

To be honest, I felt quite impotent, unable to focus on anything but the cold and congestion I was feeling in my entire body

I like asking questions to keep learning. People with big egos might not want to look unsure. Heston Bluementhal Note: If you haven’t read my previous post relating to this one, you might want to get the context here. Like I said, children are naturally and effortlessly curious.

I was having afternoon tea (well actually it was coffee, a long espresso, to be exact) with 4 year-old Molly and her mother, Susan (not their ‘real’ names).
