Friday Fun Link – British vs. Canadian English

I still tell the story of the woman I traveled to England with for a University exchange in 1995 meeting a group of people in a pub and saying she hadn’t changed her pants in days. Turns out trousers are pants in England and pants are underwear! 🙂

Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”

Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]

Saturday Snap – Off To Mexico…

Two drink-related posts in a row means I’m definitely on holidays! (Also had to commemorate that tequila shots were my wife’s idea tonight, not mine!!!) Some years I continue posting while on holidays and some years I don’t and I honestly have no idea if I’ll blog from Mexico or not but either way, hope […]

Music Monday – “I can almost smell the perfumed nights/And see the starry sky/I wish you comin’ with me baby/’Cause right before my eye”

Isn’t the Internet amazing? I heard this song on my random “Flow” playlist the other day.

Saturday Snap – Hecho En Mexico

Just over one week until we leave for Mexico. I bought some cane sugar-infused goodness to mark the occasion…

Friday Fun Link – In Japan, The KitKat Isn’t Just Chocolate, It’s An Obsession

Kit Kat is my favourite and have to to admit that I ordered a special mix of Japanese KitKat bars for myself for Christmas one year!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – WS2412 (February 2019)
