I’m the sort who can eat breakfast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Actually, I am the sort who can eat eggs, butter and toast any time of the day. So I heard from friends who raved about this restaurant that serves all-day breakfast. And…
I’m convinced after today that my kids are somewhat different from other kids. I’d had always thought all kids loved crowds, carnivals and carousels. Not mine, apparently. Fatherkao and I have an aversion to crowds and queues. As far as I can remember, we’ve never stood…
