Nothing says summer like warm sunny days and, oh wait, a lot of tank rain! The kids are finally off their laptops but Mother Nature is not co-operating with all the plans I had for outdoor summer days just yet. Ah well, we’ve gone headlong into summe...

School’s out and the kids are delighted! I did point out that school has basically been out since March, but apparently there have been way too many online tasks and Skype calls for it to classify as a complete break. I think they’re looking forward...

This is the year we said goodbye to bananas and hello to a pandemic, when we opened our eyes wide to racial prejudice and stood up for Black Lives Matter, when our National Heroes Weekend descended into violence and when Chavelle went missing without...

Somewhere during the middle of shelter-in-place, probably around “friwednesday, the ninetwelfth of Maybruary”, I lost my exercise mojo. I never really knew what day it was and was so caught up in the juggle of homeschool and work that I lost my rhyt...

Life in the trenches of homeschool and work is somewhat crazy but, in between episodes of wanting to throw the laptop at the wall, we are surviving. Fortunately, school seems to be done by early afternoon and then we all take a break from technology...

Remember when we just used to worry about the banana shortage? There’s nothing like a new virus going on an unauthorised rampage around the globe to shake things up a little. Whether you’re nervous about your own health, worried for relatives, feeli...

A Toronto microbrewery has released a limited-edition beer bearing the name of the island. Bermuda, a double dry-hopped IPA, is available now in bottles at the Bandit Brewery retail store in Toronto’s west end, and at its online shop, which delivers ...

Well, things are getting a little feral over here. Every “tips for working from home” article I read says that the first thing you should do is shower and get dressed. Why is that so difficult? The moment I wake up, I have a quick reality check that...

Given that this is our first apocalypse, Bermuda seems to be doing well so far. Kudos to the Government, medical staff and local businesses for their action and communication. Of course, it’s early days, but the sense of community is heart-warming. ...
