Hola from San Francisco! What? I hear you say. Weren’t they supposed to be in Yosemite? Well, yes! Yesterday was our day to get a car and head up to the mountains for some fresh air and then a drive down the Big Sur to LA. So off we went yesterday morning to Hertz to [...]

New York! New York!
Eek, internet access is so expensive here, we just paid $5 for 1/2 an hour that has just gone down to about 13 minutes. So, I shall type fast.
We’ve been doing so much walking since we arrived 3 days ago, we’re getting Rome Foot. This is the condition of the foot where [...]
Trying to keep up my end of the deal

… and failing miserably, I might add. In my defence, there are 2 half full boxes to be shipped home with things strewn around them, and two almost full suitcases that I’m a bit worried about – M’s is already almost bursting at the seams and mine doesn’t yet include my underwear and sock drawer, and [...]

No, sorry, that’s not a reference to a forthcoming trip to Finland, but an in-joke that approximately 2 people will get. But it basically is to inform y’all of The Return of The Blog! After A Hiatus Of More Than A Month Due To Extreme Laziness On The Part Of The Blogger. As advised by [...]

Woohoo! Any excuse for a day off work, I say, and this is one of the best! The snow started falling last night about 6pm, after a brief flurry in the morning and when we woke up this morning (Monday!) to go to work, we were greeted by the magical winter wonderland sight that we’ve [...]

Hi all, it seems that after a prolonged quiet period, there is a sudden glut of blogs. Cheer all Yark blog fans! So faithful readers, sit back, relax and enjoy…
Actually, it will be rather shorter than the YS blog as she has advised me that the recent Paris trip has been covered already. Still, she [...]

What better time to write a nice juicy blog than when I am house-bound due to a nice bout of diarrhoea, surrounded by boxes of vitamins and Diareze, existing only on dry bread and salty fish porridge while dreaming about all the lovely food I would rather be eating? Okay, too much information I hear [...]
Happy New Year

We watched the BBC1 coverage of the NYE party last night and it was quite strange to see dragon’s breath coming out of people and hearing interviewees say, “It’s soooo cold!” What? Cold? But it was 40 deg a couple of years back… oh. Wrong country. Despite the fact we’re in this vibrant city that [...]
Almost all the weather forecasts must be right

We’ve become obsessed with the weather nowadays. Our days in Prague have settled into a little routine: wake up late, head out at about 11am, walk non-stop for about 7 hours (excluding a lunch break), go to the supermarket, stumble home exhausted and then rush straight up to the internet to check the weather. For [...]
Christmas cheer and paint stripping mould

We’ve been busily getting into the swing of the festive season. In fact, we appear to have been getting into the festive season since before it hit December! So in that sense, Christmas has been a very long time coming. Heck, it’s been Christmas since we went to Vienna and bought 4 Christmas tree decorations [...]
