  • Cult Produce At the Pyrmont Growers Market.

    Cult Produce At the Pyrmont Growers Market.

    It was a bit touch and go with all the rain during the week but didn’t today scrub up rather well in Sydney?  I suppose the only downside is that the ski season looks set for a slow start, I heard that the snow making machines have been on overtime as the resorts did their…

  • Baking and Batch Cooking.

    Baking and Batch Cooking.

    I reckon you just need a day every once in a while that completely revolves around food.  To just potter around for day at home baking and batch cooking.  When I’m not under pressure to get something on the table in half an hour, cooking is a creative outlet with the pleasant secondary benefit of…

  • Mid Week Mumspiration.

    Mid Week Mumspiration.

    Ever had one of those days where things actually went according to plan at work?  The trucks in the morning peak hour kept within their special lane, you managed to park your car without taking the paint off anything and then the planets aligned for everything work related?  Welcome to my Wednesday. A day that…

  • Transitioning Into Winter. And Suddenly, Everything’s Roses.

    Transitioning Into Winter.  And Suddenly, Everything’s Roses.

    It’s not something that happens very often, if at all, but Kim and I shared a moment this week. As seen on my Facebook feed…. And the proof is in this meme I found on my Facebook feed.  Isn’t it reassuring to know that celebrities really are just like the rest of us?  In between…

  • Officially Winter. Brasil, Brazil.

    Officially Winter.  Brasil, Brazil.

    Okay.  I guess it’s officially winter. I think I’m up to my fifth cup of tea for today.  Hot mugs of tea are the best hand warmers, they’re also soothing in a way that gloves are not.  But I’ve only had the one Butterfinger.  Because it’s the last one I had from the trip. Meeting…

  • On the Move. The Princess Problem.

    On the Move.  The Princess Problem.

    It was a case of being there at the right time. I saw these two furniture removalists from across the road this morning and whipped out my iPhone just in time to capture their synchronised shelf shifting across a normally busy intersection.   Pitched at almost identical angles and in contrasting black and white, it…

  • Blue Steel. Girl Power at the Gym. Lots Of Other Things Like Shoes.

    Oh, they were good times at the gym this morning.  Yes, seriously.   www.tiffanypinerostyle.com I might have been there at the Derek Zoolander time of really, really, ridiculously good lookingly early but, hey….. at least I was wearing my neon pink and magenta trainers from Adidas via Orlando.  And possibly my best Blue Steel face…

  • The Courtside Cafe.

    The Courtside Cafe.

    It all started a few weeks back when the girls at work let me in on a bit of inside information.  They’d found the best coffee in Liverpool.  Sure, it was a bit of a trek from work but aren’t a few lungfuls of fresh air and some sun on your face the best prelude…

  • Wednesday. Lots of Books and Movies to Discuss.

    Wednesday.  Lots of Books and Movies to Discuss.

    Just between you and me but I’m ready for winter now, thanks.  It’s felt a bit strange waking up to dark skies but driving to work in cotton cardigans while the puffer jackets and wool coats that are usually out by this time of the year get left behind at home. Having said that, I…

  • Vivid 2014.

    Vivid 2014.

    It’s official, Sydney.  This has been the sunniest May we’ve had for a very long time, if not ever.  What’s more, the clear skies and warm sunshine don’t look to be going anywhere for quite some time so enjoy it while you can. Not that I need to be asked twice.  I’ve been basking in…
