Wanted: Diaper Ninja Warrior

A full night’s sleep still eludes us as Kai still man­ages to stir for a night feed at least once in the night. And by stir, I mean he cries loud enough to wake the neigh­bours. Doing things while sleep drunk should by now have been sec­ond nature to us, but sec­ond nature it isn’t, and …

40 and a day

I was hop­ing to ease into my 40s, with no fan­fare and no cel­e­bra­tion, just a lit­tle acknowl­edge­ment that I’m head­ing towards new fron­tiers. So it was good that the day was spent with my wife and son, with a hearty meal at Sanur that was just as good as it was back when my …

There goes the neighbourhood

This week my sis­ter and fam­ily came back from Toronto for the sum­mer, and one of the first cou­ple of things she asked was whether Jet Li had moved into our mother’s neigh­bour­hood yet.

Maybe he’s not eat­ing enough and sleep­ing too much dur­ing the day, we’re not sure. And going on gues­ti­mates based on books …
