The benefits of Jet Lag
Well, we made it to Langkawi – a tiny island in the Chin Chin straits off the coast of Malaysia.
It has taken us two days to get here but The 11 hour KLM flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was made easier by getting a good deal on some first-class tickets. Lie flat beds, great [...]

I was a guitar player and had been ploughing through Rock and Blues staples, learning the likes of Clapton and Hendrix – classics [...]

Just looking at the calendar and it has been a whole year since I packed in the 9 to 5 (or 8 ’til 8 to be accurate) and took some time out for myself. Soon I will have to get back into the mainstream of society and do things like work, pay a mortgage etc. [...]
