Heaven

It's been 4 weeks since my babies last put their shoes on.

They have been slipper and sock crazy.

They stay up till 2 am.

Sleep in till 2 pm.

They rock.

They laugh, party, dance, yell.

They cuddle OH do they cuddle.

We three are the trio of cuddles, tickles and love.

We're in lockdown. We are locked in love.

Game over - Redundancy

Image
The participation trophy for playing the game of corporate life without a rulebook, a map, or a decent budget is packaged up into a signed documented and a meager financial thanks called Redundancy. The lone ranger is out of commission. After seven years of undying dedication to a company that seemed to thrive on the philosophy of 'No Direction, No Budget, confused with micromanagement and thousands of ridiculous rewrites came - the role, and the person suddenly to a screaming halt. The late nights that had become friends were now waving goodbye, the fun weekends that had become myths were going to come back, the 14-hour day - over, done, no more. The sweetest cherry on top of this professional sundae was the reminder from higher-ups and the incompetent replacement higher than you, that you were in their eyes, after all the years of delivering, aiding mergers, profits, and recognition, about as competent as a fish riding a bicycle. So what that your role was carved up like

Just when you thought I would post once today, no - I had a last-minute whim to post again.  Today is an essential day for visualising your dreams.  I document these publicly not to share with my average of 8 readers (I am 7 of those) but for me - as I need to start doing things for me. So, I write as though I have acquired these - believing (and I will) achieve these. 1. I am thankful for my beautiful, wholly owned, debt-free home in the area of my choice. It is filled with love, hope, peace and bountiful positive and cheeky energy. 2. I love driving my reliable, safe, sporty, sun-roofed 4wd - that is new, never breaks down and, if / when required, will be upgraded to a new one - without debt or dents. 3. I am thrilled to provide my daughters with the academic, vocational, emotional, psychological and developmental support they need - without stressing or straining any budget or time. 4. I am excited to give back to the community through my successful business ventures that focus not

Holy Smoke

On Friday night, we decided to break routine and do as the Greek’s do, go out with our children after 7 pm. This town is the Greek version of Home and Away’s, Summer Bay – only it’s not that sleepy. Greece’s Summer Bay is really Mykonos with children. We walked to our local Paidotopo, a café that is also a children’s play centre. Its opening hours are 10 a.m to 2 p.m, then 5.30 p.m. to 12.00 a.m!  Our local Paidotopo is like walking onto set for an episode of Cheers for Children, where everybody knows your name. It’s warm, friendly and fun. Our local has a thousand activities, an indoor slippery dip, jumping castle, a dedicated supervisor who takes the children gently by the hand and plays with them for as long as you are there. She is not frightened to return naughty children to their parents, and will not tolerate bullying.  Best of all,  Paidotopo has a bar, (of course for the parents). The owner (his name is Archilea, not Sam), was pleased to see that I broke
