She fascinates me, this Slavic beauty. What draws me into her landlocked embrace? The cities, towns and villages that she adorns like jewellery? The peaks and crevasses of her body, so much more free of the multitude of random, misplaced scars and tattoos that seem to endlessly encompass her northern […]

Firstly, as you may have noticed, no post yesterday. That’s because I get one day a week free, so give me a break!! There was also the valid excuse that I was preoccupied this Sunday, too. For the past two and a half years, as you may know, life has […]
Oh, there is a smidgeon of a thrill creeping down my spine as the words appear on the gleaming white page of this Word doc … I am excited, eager with anticipation and filled with glee for the next hours to come! An entire week has gone by of barely […]
Travel on a budget via scrubbing loos and discarding legalities … as well as meeting the best friends in your life. I could regale with many many more stories, but I try to keep these short … though they are increasing in length anyway. Oh well!
Not that I couldn’t go on about the following topic for yonks, but I have to put together my thoughts for the Friday Night Wine Night segment on Patreon this afternoon, and time is of the essence, as “THEY” are fond of saying. However, I did make an occult pact […]
Serious, amusing, random or inquisitive … every Friday I try to have a fun night of unscripted banter about what you would like to know from an expat who has been living abroad for over 25 years now and has seen a fair few countries on a budget in this […]
Once upon a midnight dreary, my dear readers, I would have claimed that I really felt no longing or pleasure in stirring up a meal for myself that was not easy to throw haphazardly into a pot in random portions to last a week or was presented to me in […]
Listen, if you are going to be pedantic about whether it is a campfire or just a grill then you can make like a tree and get mulched. The point is to be witty and have some photo that loosely resembles the topic at hand, ok? Cough cough … now, […]
Before I set out on this minor rant … I did go running this morning! Day three! Ok … now that the bragging is out of the way: Today was the day to throw myself upon the blade of immigration to present my case for continued residency in the Czech […]
Nervously waiting for my appointment today at Immigration as I change my status and other details in hopes of being able to reside in the Czech Republic without relying on my previous marriage.
Oh the world must be in total disarray! Ian has kept his promise for TWO entire days! A knighthood is in order, I must say! But if you shall pardon me for just a moment, I need to dismount this high horse to continue with my script for today. Listen, […]
I keep hoping one day to wake up. I tell myself with every hangover, every heart palpitation, every night I have to take a pill to sleep that I will drink less, not buy another pack of cigarettes and exercise more so that all the energy is expended by nightfall. […]
A fun question about differences between Europe and North America, how rich you have to be to live abroad and a bit of a closer look into my home. Once more … THANK YOU to all those who believe in what I do! You make it worth every moment!
As promised, you wonderful folk get the videos first. A few weekends ago I felt the need to just get out for a few hours, and I remembered this place from along the road that I had always wanted to stop and check out. I may have done some illegal […]
As many of you know, I like cats 🐈 ! One of the more difficult parts of the past 3 years was having to leave all my feline friends behind as I readjusted to the world and found my feet again. But thanks to a wonderful friend, I am able […]
