Last week I went to Hong Kong for a tech conference with two of my colleagues. Traveling to these conferences is always fun if you enjoy the people you are going with and luckily that was true here. Continue reading “Hong Kong”

Swimming
When we left London, it was 100% my intention to retire from coaching swimming. 16 years of sweating on the pool deck on Friday nights from November to March was plenty. Continue reading “Swimming”
Love Notes
Happy belated Valentine’s Day! Gav and I were back from out little trip in time to celebrate here in Yangon. We did the traditional home-made card exchange and I was quite proud of my creation. It referenced how sweaty I am and I thought I was very clever, but Gav didn’t get it. Oh well. I used glitter and that’s what counts. Continue reading “Love Notes”

The Festivities Continue
It’s my birthday today. We aren’t planning much, just a dinner out tonight. This time of year is always kind of crazy with lots of social things and sometimes planning birthday celebrations just feels like another obligation. Continue reading “The Festivities Continue”
Holiday Prep in the Tropics
Well, I think I was a little flippant last time about my Dengue. After having quite mild symptoms the weekend I was diagnosed, it really hit me the next week and I was pretty miserable. I even missed a whole day of work, which is very rare for me! Continue reading “Holiday Prep in the Tropics”
