This was a Christmas gift. Veuve Cliquot was already my favourite Champagne and is likely to remain so now I know more of the house’s pioneer. This read is for those interested in strong females, history of Champagne cultivation or entrepreneurship.

Inadvertently, my holiday reading was entrepreneur themed. While I have no intention to run my own company, I do work for two boutique consultancies. Not only did this slim guide help me get into the minds of my CEOs, it also gave me ideas for maximising my personal finances.

Sport has always been an important part of my life: I’m not finished yet.

I do like me a swimming pool, even in the rain.

We did it! The SSG MultiSports ninjas hosted Moreton Bay Swim 2025. Volunteers, the result was epic - look at those smiles. chat. Think it’s too late to try ocean swimming, just know that the 2nd place swimmer in the 2 km event is 79 years thriving 💪🏻 instagram.com/reel/DFkBS1nzq…

Belated happy lunar new year. By coincidence, I just finished reading this autobiographical novel which concludes with the Tiananmen Square student protest. Emotive events but I was put off by cultural references which, based on my time traveling + living in China, seem wrong.

As one of the five who embodied the Girl Power movement when I was growing up, how appropriate that I finish Mel C’s autobiography on IWD. When one dwells a moment, maybe what the outside sees as confidence is more often than not a mask hiding insecurity.

Nothing like a cyclone to keep one indoors and remind you how special cycling outside with your goofball mates is. instagram.com/reel/DHNjZPmTB…

North Woods is a centuries odyssey of what a Massachusetts wood sees - murder, illicit love, lunacy and more. Imaginatively woven vignettes from completely different lives form a moving narrative, putting the reader’s life into perspective when fitted into the eternal universe.

After an emotionally gruelling 2024 season this surprise 2025 season opening means a lot.

While the depth and breadth of Dunlop’s research is evident, her historical and technical commentary is fast-moving, nourishing those with a curiosity for they ‘why?’ rather than the ‘how?’ of Chinese cooking. A suitable primer for my upcoming Hong Kong trip.
