Last week was another semi-quiet week as I continue to fight the dreaded lurgy which has invaded my body, but as promised I joined my friend Jane for a few hours at the Ekka so she could tick ‘ride the Ferris Wheel’ off her bucket list and I could have my annual strawberry sundae. Then on […]
MoreWhile my friends are getting married and having babies, I took the leap and committed to having my own YouTube channel. It’s true; you can now enjoy all the glory of my awkward on-screen stuttering any time you like and yes, it is REALLY surprising that I didn’t pursue a career on TV. There’s already a bunch of videos up […]
MoreWhile doing a cruise around some of my favourite blogs last week, I found a post called Would You Rather, by Shane at Sea Salt Secrets. I loved reading her answers so I thought I’d give it a go myself. Would you rather … Tour all the vineyards OR all the breweries OR all the distilleries […]
MoreAside from serving up my finger as an afternoon snack to Zambezi the zebra, I’ve recently been trying to find the perfect hangover cure after discovering that getting over a night of drinking now requires more recovery time than surgery. I’m not sure if it’s living in the Valley which has unleashed my inner party girl, or […]
MoreDear Mum, I can’t even begin to count how many emails and cards I’ve started with those two words over the years, probably thousands, but I know you’ve saved each and every one. This Mother’s Day, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the big things and the small things, even the […]
MoreAs far as days go, today was a shit one. After 17 years together, the time came for us to say goodbye to our much-loved cat, Teddy. Ted, Teddy, Mr Bear, Mr Ted and T-Bear, as he was affectionately known, will forever be my favourite fur ball. While he wasn’t one for cozying up to many […]
MoreDear McDonald’s. You suck. And I don’t mean for the obvious reasons—like the fact you are starting home delivery in some of the state’s most-overweight suburbs, which I think is a pretty appalling decision. No, this time you suck because every time I go against my better judgement and visit one of your stores (mostly […]
More“Listen well, all of you.” With cheekbones that could cut glass and ruby-red lips, Angelina Jolie is mesmerizing from the moment she appears onscreen as Maleficent—Disney’s most iconic villain since she first appeared in the 1959 animated film, Sleeping Beauty. If you haven’t seen the trailer, check it out here. And while movie reviews aren’t my […]
More“A friend will come running if you call them at 2am; everyone else is an acquaintance.” —wizard10000— A couple of week’s ago, I was summoned to give a ‘reflection’ at our monthly team meeting for work. After unsuccessfully googling ‘reflection ideas’, I remembered a story I’d read about how old people give the best advice (can’t […]
MoreOn Wednesday night, I sat on my couch and started writing a blog post about my dad for Father’s Day. Less than 12 hours later, I received a phone call to say he’d been rushed to hospital and was in intensive care after a suspected heart attack. In that moment, my own heart almost stopped. […]
