Things to carry around with you

I'm no Mary Poppins (remember that scene where she pulls all the items out from her bag?), but there are some items I have found helpful to carry around at all times.

1. Swiss army knife - scissors/knife/tweezers all-in-one!
2. Bandaids - Always helpful for that 'hurting' friend
3. A pen
4. Paper
5. Advil/Tylenol - pain can strike at any time!
6. Hand lotion - dry, so dry....
7. Water - thirstyyyy....

Wahoo! You're on your way to becoming a reliable friend/stranger and possibly a mini-hero!

Something I read last week...

I randomly picked up a graphic novel at the library last week.

Guy Delisle, a French-Canadian animator gets invited to work in the capital city of North Korea, Pyongyang, for 2 months. He illustrates to us his experience and observations during that time.

I particularly enjoyed his drawing style and humour.
The last page of the book was my favourite.
