Parental Solidarity. At Home for the Day.
The Royals, they’re just like us. Only colour co-ordinated and less blurry in photographs. And with better off duty hair.. but I only have myself to blame for going to bed with damp hair after losing interest two minutes into my last meeting with my Parlux. A real world toddler and his Crocs. Prince George…

New T. Swift. Home Fitness Saturdays. An Aunty In Waiting.
Let me say for the record that advanced age alone is not a barrier to liking a new T. Swift song and video clip. My ear worm for the weekend has been Taylor’s latest single, Bad Blood. While Taylor and her posse have been nunchucking and falling through sheet glass in stilettos and leather as…

Days On and Days Off – They’re Both Busy.
I usually say that my days off feel twice as busy as my days on at work but today’s been all kinds of crazy at the coalface. I’m sitting in my office now and it’s the first time I’ve had a seat all day. It’s going to take a forklift to prise me off it.…

The Long Weekend Begins.
And my long weekend has officially begun. The work yellow highlighter has been capped and zipped into the side pocket of my work bag and my phone’s on silent. The next skinny cap with a sneaky pastry I have this weekend will be savoured in the absence of pen and paper. I’ve just driven…

Friday. Soupathon.
Even by my standards, it’s been an accident prone Friday. I’ve just dropped my bottle of liquid paper into my lunch. Which was followed by the spoon I was using to eat my lunch attaching itself to my magnetic name tag. Clearly, these are signs that a long weekend is in order. www.amazon.co.uk Apparently not…

Winter Busyness.
The double rainbow and rose gold sky of Monday morning seem like they were a lifetime ago. It”s been one of those busy, busy weeks for me and half my luck, I’m working the first half of this long weekend coming up. We’re team Vicks here at SSG Manor, I’m rarely without a soothing gob…

Out and About In New York. At Home in Sydney.
We’ve been making the most of the great indoors at SSG Manor this weekend. Bed socks are serving double duty as running around the house socks. And the kitchen’s been the place to hang. Breakfast at home… There was a bit of a crisis at our local Italian cafe on Saturday. With a burst water…

The Sunny Days of May. Cooking.
It’s been lovely having the full two weeks off work. The sun’s been out making rainbows on the most unexpected surfaces. Whilst indoors, the grocers are radiant with all kinds of blooms. I had no idea how beautiful kale flowers were. With that bit of time up my sleeve, cooking hasn’t felt like a chore…

High Tea at the Shops. Other Shops.
Neither the timing nor the breaking were the best, to be honest. My Australis AConTour palette, her time on this earth was too short. There I was feeling so smug about my responsible buying at Sephora, Columbus Circle the other day. Now here I am one and a quarter pans (the ones I use most,…
