I love writing

Do you know how you ruin a child’s life? You look at something they wrote and say, “This is pretty good.

Car horns

We recently got a car here in Australia, and although we haven’t had it that long, it’s been great. On that note, let’s talk about car horns. (Warning: This post and the video contain strong language.) I quite enjoy driving—when I know where I’m going. I get lost easily. Thank

So, I’m usually not a fan of reality TV, but this one reeled me in with the crazy. I’m talking about “Married at first sight” (Australian edition) and it’s insane.

My hometown and Brisbane

We’ve been away from ‘home’ for almost six months now, and I’m feeling homesick. So, to make myself feel even more homesick, I thought I’d tell you about my hometown. There’s an enormous difference between my hometown and Brisbane, where we currently live. My hometown I was born and bred

I hate kids

I say I hate kids, but actually, they aren’t the problem. It’s the parents who raise the entitled little shits who annoy me. I know a few good kids who actually have manners. But these days I just see so many kids running amuck with no consequences. I thought about

Aliens

When I still lived with my parents in South Africa, we would sit outside on summer evenings to cool off. We’d talk a bit and admire the beauty of the stars. One evening, my parents spotted aliens. Let me explain. The story That evening, it was only my mom and
