Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Day 6 and we’re went south. The Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse sits at the most south-westerly point of Australia, but it’s also a little different from many of the other lighthouses we’ve visited not because of that. Rather, this one’s a

One of the all-time job hazards of being an educator – here at least in Singapore but I expect it to be a challenge elsewhere too – is that we’re especially vulnerable to throat irritations and sore throats. This is
