So this year’s birthday celebrations was combined with fund raising for the Ukranians at school, which also happened to be National Pi (π) Day. Anyway, it gave me the opportunity to contribute with some cakes, which look absolutely amazing. Of course, I did not make these, but they are the work of my talented tenant, […]

Thanks to my cousin Jeevan, I have got into detailing cars. In the summer holidays of July 2021, I snow foamed, washed, detailed, steam cleaned, clay barred and polished the 607, the 306 Cab, the 406 Cup, the Legend and the C70 Cab. It was one car per week and totally worth the effort. I […]

My colleagues Glenn and Lauren finally tied the knot during the summer holidays of July 2021. It was a beautiful day, with the whole Maths Team there, plus a few others past and present. They both looked lovely and everything (apart from Glenn’s speech) went smoothly!

So this summer, I decided to make full use of my Kitchen Aid BBQ; I didn’t wait for anyone to come over, so just did it the Aussie way, BBQ for dinner while watching Australia or England get hammered in the Cricket! Any other way is just not the Aussie way. The garden was in […]

Well Birthday 2020 was a disaster with no one able to show up, but Birthday 2021 was made up for it, by the special efforts of my sister. She came over for tea after a day of online teaching (what fun!); and check out what she brought:

Here is a photo from my 21st Birthday in Sydney. I’m not sure where all the other photos have disappeared to, but you can clearly see my cake from the Cheesecake Shop, my gag gift – a Tickle-Me Elmo, and my crew: Matthew, Marty, Kak Chi, Danilo, Gajendra, Danilo and Amanda.  Got thrown in the […]

Christmas 2020 was obviously a Christmas like no other; but for me, it was the first time in 25 years that my two sisters and I spent (living) together, without arguing or wanting to run away. We spent the holidays cooking, playing games and binge watching Cobra Kai (all three seasons)! We had Ralphie to […]

My sister invited me to have lunch with her in Norfolk where she was staying for a few days. So I suggested that it might be worth having some seafood on the coast. She said that Cromer might be the place to visit, since it was famous for its crabs and other seafood.    So […]

So Indy and Ally had to start sharing their space with two new chickens. They did not like it one bit, and with the constant bullying, I had to separate them. The two new chickens are very sweet and loving. They are very affectionate and have already started laying eggs. They are also very active […]

With plenty of time on our hands, everyone tried cooking different dishes. I managed to cook the following new creations:
