Summer Summer Summertime
So summer has finally arrived, although exactly how long it is here to stay for is anyone’s guess. The Greek God(zilla) likes to think of himself as a bit of an amateur meteorologist (don’t get…
Greekster
It is Greek Easter this weekend, a big event that preparations have been underway for since final orders were called on last Easter. The format is always the same. Friends and family descend upon Yiayia…

Barolo 1969
For the Greek God(zilla)’s 40th birthday, his sister, BB, gifted him a bottle of Barolo from the year he was born – 1969. For two years we carefully stored and protected this bottle, waiting for…
Anyone for croquet?
I am not one for outdoor sports, as anyone who knows me will tell you (usually after they have finished laughing). I am not really one for indoor sports either, unless carrying 11kg of toddler…
