Woke up to a yummy brekkie hanging in a basket outside our door in the morning. Freshly squeezed juice, yogurt, a variety of breads with cream cheese, jams, french butter and chocolate spreads, oh and the hot chocolate did not disappoint! Road trip to Arles! Headed for the Boulevard de Lices and Boulevard George-Clemenceau for the Saturday [...]
Round 2, fight! Bright and early; view from the chateau balcony in Bordeaux. Road trip! Left Bordeaux for Albi, but with plans to explore Toulouse before nightfall. Cassoulet is a speciality of Toulouse, and we searched out this place that does a wonderful version of it. Rich, warm and flavourful comfort food. The shape of [...]
A few months ago, I managed to squeeze out time to take a full and proper two weeks off to go on vacation in France. The sights, sounds and smells…the food and wine…nothing short of amazing. Will share snippets of my trip in the next few posts! Arrived in Paris, got a car and drove [...]
It’s the end of the netball season, and I just wanted to post a short one on my club. We’ve been playing together as Speed (represented by two teams for the National League; Speed Run and Speed Sprint) for several years now, and it’s been a pleasure and honor playing with these girls. It’s been [...]
Another belated post (this show has long since aired!) but one that I thought to share as it was a lot of fun; fact that it was all in Mandarin notwithstanding! The producers rounded up people they thought to be “Mandarin-challenged” (my words, not theirs!), and pitted us against each other to see who would emerge [...]
For those who don’t yet know, I own an online boutique, www.maryjulian.com . Many have asked me about the name; Mary and Julian are my maternal grandparents, and I chose to christen the label as such in tribute especially to my late grandpa, Julian, who passed away three years ago. After more than 50 years of marriage, their bond [...]
I was tasked to design a Smurf for charity some time back, and I wanted to share the design process. The brief was that it ‘didn’t have to look like a Smurf’ and that we had free reign to use our creativity to create anything we wanted. This was the ‘blank Smurf’ we were each [...]
Another one of my famously backdated entries! =p Meant to share this a long time ago (it happened 9th Oct 2010!) but it somehow got lost in the pile. There was Johnny Hates Jazz, Debbie Gibson,Rick Astley…and heaps of beer. Just perfect! So apparently we were supposed to dress all 80s. I was going for [...]
And so I had the wonderful opportunity to be sent to LA by Warner Bros to cover the Green Lantern movie! I was excited to not only be one of the first to watch the show, but also to meet the cast of the movie. In particular, I was super psyched to get to meet [...]
