Twelve Drummers drumming

Finally, here we are, the last in this 12 days of Christmas series, a review of 2019 through my eyes. Today's only the 5th of January and 2020 feels old already. I'm feeling quite glum about what's to come and the state of the world and I have more or less run out of...

This morning I had absolutely no idea what to write about for this post. Dear Reader, you might naturally have assumed that this series was all meticulously planned in advance, and some posts have almost written themselves, but I admit that others have been of a more...

Nine Ladies Dancing

Nine Ladies Dancing

I have raved and raved about the Hong Kong Ballet to anyone who'll listen (and a good few who won't)  since I've been here, I know that, but being able to see them is one of the things I truly adore about being in Hong Kong and there really aren't that many, if I'm...

Eight maids a-milking

Right. This is my blog so I now make no apology for a small brag because if I can't do it here, I can't do it anywhere. Inspired by my friends Sarah and David, I spent the first half of last year adjusting my lifestyle and diet. I used the Noom system which TL;dr is...

Seven swans a-swimming

You know that image of a swan looking graceful and bold and serene on the still surface of a lake but underneath paddling like Proud Mary to stay afloat? That's most of us a lot of the time, I'd say. We have to feel the fear and do it anyway. There have been several...

Six geese a-laying

So it's six geese a-laying and we have eaten goose for Christmas but it would seem that most people in the UK eat turkey on Christmas Day so here are six turkeys, utter fails that happened during the year. My rogues' gallery includes the Ziip (2nd one, as the first...

Five gold rings

Five gold rings makes me think of music, let the bells ring out for Christmas. This year I've learnt to sing five choral works from scratch to sing with five choirs in two countries: Symphony No 9 (Choral) Beethoven St Mark Passion JS Bach A Sea Symphony Vaughan...

Four calling birds

Four calling birds

Let us first deal with the controversy of whether it should be "calling birds" or "colly birds." One predates the other by about 100 years but apparently no-one really knows or cares about the difference so, for my purposes, and because it fits better with my post,...
