PM Speedos. Bachelor Food.
It’s a brave new world we’re in, Australia. PM Speedos (sorry, couldn’t resist) is our new leader and while marriage equality and humane border protection policy will the be postponed indefinitely, there will be hopefully be good things like political stability and a better bottom line for the budget without cuts to health, education and…

Election Eve Energy.
It was a bit touch and go there for a while this morning but thanks to this extra large TGIF (morning) coffee, I’ve now been able to rejoin the rest of Australia as we get through what we have to do on election eve. Which for me involved a trip to the bank and pushing…

Life Comes Together When the Weather Gets Better.
In the immortal words of Miss Marcia Hines….. Now that’s what I’m talking about! We did it. Something happened between my weather whinging and your words of hope to create these endless blue skies and softly sunlit days that Perth is currently being blessed with.

Still Searching For Spring. Cooking With YouTube.

Gee, I’ve Missed Writing.

It Will Be September 7, After All. The Shu Price Drop.
Well, Mr Rudd is keeping us on our toes, isn’t he? I misread the headlines on Saturday about his calling the election (he hadn’t), corrected my post on Sunday morning and a few hours later? He’d popped round to the Governor General’s and sought formal permission to make Saturday September 7 Election Day. Glad we’ve…

Distractions From The Election.
Thank you readers for pointing out that no, the election date hasn’t been called yet. I got a bit excited at the weekend headlines. I’m still in need of distraction from the election though… Post updated accordingly. SSG xxx We’ve still not gotten ourselves an election date. And it’s been a pretty slow news week…

Gated Communities. Guerlain Again.
With a title like that, I’m thinking that you were hoping that my post today would be all about my favourite Real Housewives and their gated community in Orange County. www.latimes.com The OC Housewives will always have a soft spot in my heart. I first ‘met’ them in the snow, many moons ago when we…
