A Ramadan Friday at the HJ household. Sleep in. Then wallow in bed, till you can push it no further. The baby's breakfast that is. You might be fasting, but you better drag your arse off the bed and get some breakfast going for the tiny human. Feeding the tiny human is paramount. Prep the... Continue Reading →
I think food is disgusting. It's a vile, despicable monstrosity which will one day lead to the downfall of humankind. Really! It causes sheer wastage of anywhere between 5- 6 hours of my day. Hours which could be put to great use otherwise. I could run around in circles, climb up and down the couch... Continue Reading →

Hmmm.... the above sentence may not be entirely true! Anyhoo... I thought, I'd ditch Grubbie Tuesdays. Maybe make it my Blog Holiday. But here... Continue Reading →
Hours 1 to 12.... The "packing expert" fits everything but the kitchen sink, into three bags. The Last Supper...Mister's choice. Will sorely miss the morning cuppa together and the gossip and ranting that goes along... A favoured breakfast at the H household!... And finally...the last meal.... More to come... Till...

Morning, Afternoon, Evening! Get ready for a quick post with crappy pictures, folks. 'Twas a busy, busy morn. We woke up late, Lil' Z woke up early, there was a rat scare, the grated coconut was frozen solid, the internet was shifty, the baby was sleepy, traffic snarls, news from home- all in all, it...

You know it's going to be a great day when your 6 month old finally sleeps through the night (first continuous 5 and a 1/2 hours stretch of sleep in almost a year!) and then you enter the kitchen with a perfectly soured, risen idli batter greeting you. Morning doc! Mr Batter seems to... Continue Reading →
