Visiting the Jim Thompson house, Bangkok

Visiting the Jim Thompson house, Bangkok
Museum / Shopping / Thailand January 8, 2020 May 26, 2020 2 Comments

It’s been a little over 6 years since I last visited the Jim Thompson House & museum in Bangkok, and revisiting it was every bit as interesting as I remembered. It was pretty crowded (as is Bangkok, all the time it seems), but the crowd management and visitor flow is …

How good are “Nature Forever” bird feeders?

How good are “Nature Forever” bird feeders?
Shopping April 7, 2018 May 9, 2020 Leave a comment

They are brilliant. End of review. Seriously, what’s not to like about the Nature Forever range of bird feeders, which are very reasonably priced, available here in India on Amazon (don’t worry – the relevant links are below) and, in our case at least, have attracted loads of birds and …

Testing the SEATOSUMMIT dry sack

Testing the SEATOSUMMIT dry sack
Shopping / Sport February 17, 2017 February 17, 2017 Leave a comment

Last year, prior to a diving trip to Borneo, we bought a Seatosummit lightweight dry sack from a dive shop in KL. 8 litre capacity and weighing in at only a spectacular 58 grams. I have just taken my lovely bright yellow dry bag with me on its first “summit” outing – a 2 …

Testing Reebok’s reversible running shorts

Testing Reebok’s reversible running shorts
Clothing / Shopping / Sport December 16, 2016 December 16, 2016 Leave a comment

Late September & Delhi is at its worst. Hot, humid, the fag-end of the monsoons – which explains all that heat and humidity. So, of course, that is exactly when I decide to buy some new running trousers, and test drive them (as it were) in such an unforgiving climate. Because I’d …

Travels with my Smith & Canova Power Purse

Travels with my Smith & Canova Power Purse
Shopping September 8, 2016 September 8, 2016 Leave a comment

I have an amazingly resourceful sister who always finds truly amazing gifts for me, and has done for years. But even so, on a scale of 1-10 of fab gifts I’ve received from her over the years, my Smith & Canova Power Purse comes in as a straight 10. LOVE IT. My …

How good is the Anker Solar Charger?

How good is the Anker Solar Charger?
Shopping / Sport / Travel May 11, 2016 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

It’s very good, to answer my own question. I have nothing but praise for the Anker portable solar charger. I bought it before I went climbing in the Himalayas 2 summers ago, and it worked brilliantly, charging mobile phones mainly, both mine and my fellow team member’s.  Even though there was …

Reviewing the Kalenji hydration backpack

Reviewing the Kalenji hydration backpack
Shopping / Sport May 10, 2016 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

Running in Delhi’s killer summer heat means that hydration is beyond a must.  It is, without exaggeration, a lifesaver. I usually run with a handheld water bottle, but it doesn’t hold enough for the searing temperatures these days, so I have switched to using my Kalenji 2L backpack, and what …

In love with my T10 sports polo

In love with my T10 sports polo
Clothing / Shopping / Sport April 2, 2016 May 10, 2016 Leave a comment

Since I started running 2 1/2 years ago, I have acquired quite a collection of T shirts.  As one does. Races, promotional runs, fun runs, our running club –  many of these events come with a T shirt. t10sports in Gurgaon, just over the border from Delhi, makes Tshirts, fleeces, …

Putting the Adidas Supernova Glide 6 running shoes through their paces

Putting the Adidas Supernova Glide 6 running shoes through their paces
Clothing / Shopping / Sport March 30, 2016 May 21, 2020 Leave a comment

In the two short years in which I’ve been running, I have discovered many things.  Many, many things, and all of them good things. Except, perhaps, the habit I have of getting too fond of my running shoes, which means that the arrival of a lovely new pair is always …
