| the merits of frozen broccoli | March 1, 2009 | I have succumbed to the merits of frozen broccoli.1. It doesn’t cost 12.99 a kilo (thank you Olsen’s Corner Foodworks that is daylight broccoli robbery to which I refuse to stand and deliver).2.

| aircon not smart…yes I’m using electricity | February 16, 2009 | I am being aircon stupid. It was so hot and humid at choir this evening. Usually my spot by the door gives me a nice breeze.
