Happiness Makes the World Go Round.
My little corner of the world seems to be a vortex of happiness right now. Perhaps it’s the sunny weather that’s made me realize just how much good there is in the world right now but I’m pretty certain it’s not just the weather. Over recent weeks and days, I’ve been touched by the happiness…

Mr Wong, Sydney.
Just in case it wasn’t already pretty obvious from some of my posts, I’m going to come out with it and say that I’m a planner. I like my day divided into time slots, I like to set due dates for tasks and divide that task into smaller sub-tasks (made that word up just then)…

Quadruple Chocolate Brownies. Over 30 Minute Risotto.
It was back to work for me today. My peace lily survived while I was away – just. It took around 2 litres of water and a good 5 hours for it to perk up up though. I think I need to give it a trim over the next few days though. Top – Soon…

Decluttering. Wet Weather Reading.
The skies are back to grey today. It’s been the kind of day to get out while you can and cross your fingers that you’ll be under cover for when the rain starts. Which it has just now, with added thunder. At least there’s still plenty of sunlight. All the better for confronting the mess…

The 18th Biennale of Sydney 2012. Yummy Cuisine, Martin Place, Sydney.
When the sun shines in Sydney and you’re anywhere near Circular Quay, it’s hard for even the most jaded local not to slip into tourist mode. You can never take too many photos of the Harbour Bridge as you walk along the concourse. The familiar digieridoo with added synth base of a regular busker adds…
