Rainy Day Daiso Purchases.
I think I jinxed Sydney with that beach post on Friday. Sorry. I hope you managed to have a good weekend all the same. The basement of Westfield Sydney viewed from above. I think this is a cafe. I love the clothesline! The rain and grey skies on Sunday were all the excuse I needed…

The Beach. Aldi Coffee Pods.
It might have been my day off yesterday but I went out and did the hard yards for everyone at a little office other people call the beach. I am happy to report that the weather was perfect, the skies glorious and the water extremely refreshing. You’d best get yourselves there this weekend. My…

Ja’mie, A Girl Who’s Worth the Electricity.
Ahhh. It’s my first Friday of the week and not before time. It’s been busy and I’m stealing five minutes now to sit down with a coffee and some iconic Jackie Kennedy photos, Maggie Beer recipes and a side of Don Hany and Matthew le Nevez (roll on, Offspring season five) That’s better. May I…

A Cup Day Windfall.
Melbourne Cup Day is always a great excuse to let your hair down a little at work. It’s only fair, I think, given that most of us don’t get the public holiday. The main point of today was probably to get some kind of sweepstake organized or else to pop down to the TAB to…

Book Rings. Beach Ready Babies.
Excuse me while I go nominate myself for next year’s Nobel Prize in Engineering. It’s been one of those days and for every little achievement and thing to be happy about there have been at least ten other things that haven’t quite gone to plan. May it all even out in the end. Anyway. I’ve…

Bittersweet Times. Cheap and Cheerful?
In the words of Tony Abbott, these are bittersweet times for Australia. After 12 years, Australia is withdrawing all its troops in Afghanistan by Christmas. It’s a bittersweet return because the war that was fought saw 260 Australian soldiers wounded, 40 killed and neither a victory nor a defeat in the battle to reshape and…

4 pm Chocolate Biscuits. Sunday Evenings at Woolloomooloo.
When it hits 4pm on a Monday afternoon, there’s only one kind of biscuit to be having with your cup of tea. McVities Digestives dipped in dark chocolate. They’re the perfect chocolate biscuit for the business end of the week. Tim Tams are more of a made it to Wednesday snack. As for Fridays? Who…

Keeping Calm on a Friday. Dishwasher Brand Suggestions, Please.
The grammar’s not quite there but the sentiment is. It’s been one of those days. The kind where work has been the least of my worries. I woke up to find that our middle aged dishwasher had shaken off its mortal drainage pipe sometime in the night leaving yesterday’s dishes drowning in a pool of…

Blurred Lines. Boom Tish.
Well, hello! It’s hump day and I couldn’t resist starting today’s post with a bit of Jimmy Fallon and The Roots collaborating with Robin Thicke on a version of Blurred Lines. It’s a clip that never fails to make me smile with it’s harmonies, energy and all round feel good buzz. I’m sure you can…
