I know the novelty of this cool, wet weather is going to wear off soon but isn’t it fun to be finally wearing those winter knits in a non change room situation? Knit coat – M Missoni @ Git Groupe, skinnies – Next Direct, ls T – Cotton On, wedge heels – Rockport, necklace –…

I’ve been doing a lot of self gifting over the last few weeks.  The study floor bears testament to this, with an array of paper bags scattered all over the place.  To commemorate this week’s council verge side bulk rubbish collection, I decided that this would be the weekend to attend to my shopping bags.…

If there’s been a day this week where ‘all’s well that ends well’ needed to be uttered (and believed) then today was the day.  It was meant to be a day spent leisurely flitting from one commitment to the next but all hell broke loose at the crack of dawn and I had to get…

The neighbourhoods of Sydney always fascinate me.  The change in predominant culture is often abrupt, even if two suburbs are right next to each other. I was in Burwood this morning (long story after a scary night but all is well and I’m relieved but tired) which is about half an hour from where I…

Well, hello! It’s Thursday already.  I feel like we’ve become strangers.  Apologies for my absence for the greater part of this week.  Various pregnancy ailments seem to have gotten the better of me (already) and writing for the blog has been beyond my brain cells this week.  But enough about my failing brain cells.. These…

It’s only a small thing.  A ridiculous thing to be holding a grudge about but it is Monday morning….. We have a yoghurt thief at work.  And I was their victim on Friday.  A few weeks ago, a colleague of mine fell foul of the thief and put an even more terse note than mine…

Sydney, I think that yesterday was our last sunny Saturday for quite a while.  I’m so glad I had the chance to sit out in the She Shed with the paper and feel the sun warm on my face and bare feet. It’s been a completely different set of weather conditions today.  There’s a chill…

This morning was beautiful.  The air was crisp and the sun rose to reveal rolls of mist over the foreshore where I often go for my morning walk.  I could barely make out the familiar footpaths and bridges of present day Sydney.  Instead, the park looked like it was part of the set of Game…

It was new shoe Friday and it’s going to take my toes all weekend to recover.  I wasn’t really helping myself in this regard today.  After limping across the car park this afternoon, I slipped off my right shoe to discover the cause of my gait disturbance – I’d forgotten to remove the cardboard toe…

The streets where I live have a different feel to them in these cool autumn evenings.  When I’m lucky enough to get home from work early, I like making the most of the evening light and going for a short walk down to the river. The streets and sidewalks softly glow in the fading light…
