The older I get the quicker Christmas seems to come around. Years also seem to be much faster in retrospect. Michael’s uncle had a good point the other day though; for each new year that goes by it is a smaller proportion of your whole life than any of the previous years. For example, when you’re 2, the…

Overseas adventure – Sydney and New Zealand // Travel
You know those times that just go so quickly because you’re busy? Well, the last month has been one of those. Last minute prepping for our trip to Sydney and New Zealand, followed by a course on treating severely malnourished paediatric patients, followed by a wonderful 3 week trip: Tonga > Johannesburg > Sydney >…
On taking photos

The photos don’t have to be anything special, because the memory is special. However, I feel like social media is stealing that away from…

Cape Town, what a treat! Soon after Michael got back from his first work trip back to Cape Town I was having a tough time and managed to find some great flights back home (Travelstart is a good place to look). Booking flights about 6 weeks in advance gave me something great to look forward to help me…

Language is a funny thing // Hospital life
Language is a beautiful thing. Each language has it’s own words (duh!), just kidding. Each language has it’s own feeling. Some languages feel soft and gentle, others feel rough, but each language is precious to it’s speakers. It is such a blessing to greet someone in their own language and see their face light up…
