A month or so ago I was contacted via this blog by Peeta Planet, a Social Travel TV Show, hosted by two brothers Mohamed Parham Al Al Awadhi and Peyman Parham Al Awadhi from UAE. I was asked to give some suggestions of people they should interview, places to hang out, where to have good coffee, […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 71
Today was an important day for Indonesians – legistlative election day! So it was a public holiday here in Jakarta and there was lots of talk about who to vote for going on in the morning. I find the whole process of voting here in Indonesia completely confusing! For starters there are over 200 million […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 70
This morning when I woke I heard what sounded like heavy rain so thought I would stay in bed as long as Samudra would allow before it was time for his nanny to arrive. I gave him a bath and then opened the bedroom door as we were going to the table for me to […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 69
It seems Samudra has mastered the art of rolling ALL OVER the bed in his sleep, kicking me, then rolling to the end of the bed and back and hitting Putra, and all the time looking so peaceful! Once I am awake in the morning I cannot seem to sleep again no mater how tired […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 68
I was woken this morning at 5.30am by Samudra’s cries so tapped Putra’s arm to ask if he was up for a Car Free Day walk and was shocked to hear him say yes so early in the morning! We didn’t manage to actually leave the house until after 7am, but once we arrived outside […] Read more »

This week just flew by! I was up early again to give Samudra a bath before his nanny arrived and then we had a play while we were waiting. He really lights up my day with his morning giggles and I feel sad to have to pass him over, but I have so much I […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 65
I woke to more long fingernails scratching my face this morning so I gave up on sleep, put Samudra in the baby sling, picked up the camera and off we went for a morning walk with me still in my pj’s (how times have changed!).. The sun was just rising so the air was warm […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 64
Another early start to the morning with cuddles, and then I decided it would be good to feed Samudra and take him for an early morning walk to take photos as it’s been awhile since we have done this. We didn’t make it past the kitchen as kakek was home and he ended up taking […] Read more »
100 Days of Happiness – Day 63
I woke up so early this morning as Samudra was sticking his fingers up my nose and poking my face, so I got lots of morning cuddles before bathing him and getting him ready for his new nanny. I thought I would start crying when Putra told me she had arrived… how absolutely pathetic of […] Read more »
