When I was a kid, my sister and I used to love Red Truck Tuesday. It was the day when a special red rubbish truck would go around the neighbourhood and collect peoples big unwanted items to divert them from landfill. Missy and I used to find all sorts of treasures just siting on the… Continue reading Crimes Against the Environment

Crowdfunding Atheletes
I do love a good crowdfunding platform, and Pursuit is my most recent find. It’s a site that allows amateur athletes in Canada the chance to gain support to achieve their athletic goals. Athletes can create a profile, share their ambitions and experience and then offer something, called a ‘Give back’ for their supporters on a… Continue reading Crowdfunding Atheletes
Women and Sport
I’ve been incredibly lucky to have sport in my life. I’ve also been lucky to have a really supportive mum (and aunt) who drove me to practises and games, made sure I had the right equipment, nutrition and encouragement. I’ve also always been given the opportunity to play. Where I grew up, there were more sports activities… Continue reading Women and Sport
Map Notebooks
Falling in line with the Robinson/Hui family tradition of homemade Christmas presents, this year I chose to work with one of my most favourite things: maps. Back in the summer I went to Hay-on-Wye (great place, ps) and I got an old atlas that was missing pages and a bit tattered. I also had a… Continue reading Map Notebooks
Digital Season’s Greetings
I’ve been sent these Christmas cards and they are bloody brilliant. So I had to share them.
Feed and Read
Since taking a sabbatical from 11-aside football on Sundays I’ve been looking for something to fill the void, something to occupy those extra 6 hours on my weekend. And I think I’ve found it. Feed and Read. Cake and books. Best sunday ever, basically.

It wasn’t your standard celebrity outing,where they turn up, take a few photos and sign a few shirts and take off. He was so genuine, giving over an hour and a half of his time and… Continue reading Feeling the Love
News from Canada
As an expat living in the UK, I’ve become reliant on things like the BBC to find out what’s been going on back home. And recently, I do feel like I’m missing a lot of excitement, like: 1. A maple syrup factory being robbed. 2. A cheese smuggling ring being broken up. 3. A monkey in… Continue reading News from Canada

The Dinner Party
If teleportation was real, I would teleport to Toronto on November 19th to go to this Dinner Party. In addition to the evening’s proceeds supporting a great cause – The Stop Community programmes – my very talented, very clever sister Missy will be one of the guest chefs. I won’t embarrass her too bad here, but I will say… Continue reading The Dinner Party
