  • Tuesday’s Fried Chicken. New Hair Gets.

    Tuesday’s Fried Chicken.  New Hair Gets.

    And then the fog lifted to this on Tuesday. Blue skies and that lovely light that make the majestic buildings of the city centre look ummmm…. QueenVtabulous? The mood at Workshop, my favourite cafe on George Street was almost languid (well as languid as one can get on the main thoroughfare of the CBD during…

  • In Praise of the Predawn.

    In Praise of the Predawn.

    Not only am I a morning person, I’ve also come to love the predawn too.  To me, being up before the sun rises is an opportunity to ease myself into the day as the sky does the same. The extra time in the morning before the epic mission of getting into work is mostly mine…

  • Penny Blacks. Skivvies Under Shifts.

    Penny Blacks.  Skivvies Under Shifts.

    I’m at that point of my relationship with the season’s wet weather where I can still make puppy dog eyes at the downpours bouncing off tin rooves as I watch through a window from the warmth and dryness of my office.  At the moment, it’s fun remembering an umbrella every time I go out the…

  • At Odds With the World. Self Gifting.

    At Odds With the World.  Self Gifting.

    It just seems as if the last few weeks have been more harrowing than usual for the world as a whole.  There’s just been devastation and loss everywhere in the headlines. Whether it is what humans have done to each other or what nature has done to humans, there have been many times that we’ve…

    Photo Day.  Hair and Make Up.  The News.

    As I got Toddler SSG ready for daycare today, I couldn’t help but feel that my inner Dance Mom had been awoken. www.dancemoms.wikia.com Today was daycare photo day, Toddler SSG’s first in fact.  And I’ve been totally Dance Mom about it.  There was the hair cut a couple of weeks ago (to give it time to ‘grow…

  • Hail. The Big Chill. Costco Finds.

    Hail.  The Big Chill.  Costco Finds.

    These are glamorous times in Sydney.  Glamorous. If it wasn’t ugg boots and trackies it was head to toe adventure wear, hastily pulled out of storage (complete with last year’s lint) as everyone struggled to adjust to the sudden cold change this morning. Everyone who bravely made it to the pool this morning rewarded themselves…

  • 5000 Poppies. Reflecting.

    5000 Poppies.  Reflecting.

    I’m usually able to observe ANZAC Day with some kind of involvement with the formalities of this day of commemoration and respect.  Whether it has been watching the ANZAC Day parade on George Street, watching a telecast of the dawn service or pausing for a moment at a memorial – I’ve always managed to be…

  • Thoughts and Pumpkin Soup.

    Thoughts and Pumpkin Soup.

    With the end of the stormy weather (for now), comes a collective sigh of relief across our state and a new found joy in the simple things that we took for granted all summer. Like seeing the sun shine across our damp but not flooded driveways. As well as being able to look up at…
