WAGs, Snags and the DFO in Homebush.
One way or another, the FIFA World Cup is going to get you. In much the same way as that 1 Direction song I shamelessly paraphrased. Being up at all hours watching games. Keeping up to date with what the world media thinks of the various teams, their players and managers. Laughing at the memes…

Wordless Wednesday.
www.theguardian.com Wordless because this picture says it all for Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed. And wordless because that is what free speech will become if journalists continue to be arrested and imprisoned. Which leaves the pictures to tell the stories that have to be told.

The Big Chill. A Remedy For My Insomnia.
I don’t think there’s a corner of the country that’s escaped the cold chill that’s suddenly come upon us. My Instragram feed today has been full of photos of friends rugged up in thick jackets, jumpers and scarves. They’ve stepped out for the day in long boots and lunched on bowls of soup with a…

Another Perfect Weekend Ends. Kids First Aid. Uniqlo, Daiso and Lovisa.
I can’t think of a more pleasant way to end the weekend. Out on the water, watching the sun set with dinner possibly at the end of your fishing line. Not having any experience fishing or sailing myself, I was quite content to sit barefoot on the deck aka the SSG She Shed with the…

In hindsight, trotting off to renew my drivers licence on 3 hours sleep yesterday wasn’t the best way to celebrate the Blues winning Origin. But it had to be done and after a good half hour with everything in the above photo (and then some), I was ready to meet the evil camera at the…

Congratulations on winning the State of Origin, New South Wales! As a really, really, really casual follower of rugby, I know you’ve been waiting and trying for a…

The Beautiful Game. Aldi Finds.
www.ndtv.com I had to show my support for the Socceroos somehow today after that brilliant goal by Tim Cahill this morning. I dusted off my Socceroo beanie and placed it tea cosy style over my clock radio. And I embraced the green and gold for lunch today. May I present my Socceroo salad. It’s mainly…

Days Like This. Television Tiramisu.
Wow. Just wow. It was one of those perfect June afternoons. Soft sunlight filtering through bare tree branches and that slight chill in the air which makes you reach for a scarf to knot loosely around your neck. It’s days like this that fill you with the joy of life in the bleakness of winter.…

Offspring Wednesday. Sephora News.
Can you believe that it’s Offspring Wednesday already? Instagram has forewarned me about tonight’s episode. It’s meant to be an absolute tear jerker. So get those tissues close to the sofa, pronto. I was workshopping a Nina Proudman inspired outfit for work last night (as you do) and this Country Road dress from 2009 jumped…
