  • SSG’s Adventures in Daiso-Land.

    SSG’s Adventures in Daiso-Land.

    There’s only one place to go when it’s Frugal February and a girl is in need of some retail therapy – Daiso’s Sydney store in the Mandarin Centre, Chatswood.  There’s only one price you need to remember and it is $2.80. I spent close to 2 hours in Daiso today and the store certainly delivered…

  • Final Goodbyes.

    bagelnosher.blogspot.com I attended a funeral yesterday.  For me, the death of an elderly relative is so close to my everyday work that the usually clear line between my work and personal life gets blurred.  In the days leading up to the funeral, I was pragmatic.  My uncle was in his late 80s and had endured…

  • Monday Night Missoni. Monday Afternoon Madge.

    Monday Night Missoni.  Monday Afternoon Madge.

    And that’s another action packed Monday at work done and dusted.  They just seem to fly past these days.  Just where does all the time on Mondays go?  One minute I’m jubilant at beating the morning peak hour and the next I’m stuck defeatedly in the afternoon city bound crawl.  At least my good friends…

  • The Return of the Sun.

    The Return of the Sun.

    What about this sun, Sydney?  For a while there it was looking as if it had packed its bags and left is for good.  The rain has finally stopped in Sydney and colour has returned to the sky and our streets.  Even the laundry smells and feels sun kissed. I went for a walk around…

    Brunch and Bathroom News.  Bourke Street Bakery, Surry Hills.

    When I left you the other day, this is how the shower looked. It now looks like this. All it took was a change of shower screen to let in some light and to create a sense of space.  The bath tub is now practically begging to be filled with water and bath oil.  Look…

  • The Friday Facelift.

    The Friday Facelift.

    Surprise!  I’m still at home this morning.  Lady of leisure that I am this wet and grey Friday, I’ve had time to potter around and quite literally smell the flowers in the She Shed. And wander down the road for a coffee. These are challenging times for me.  I’m trying to give up Equals in…

  • A Fresh Pair of Eyes.

    I’ve just got myself a fresh pair of eyes through which to view the world. Cameras are so hard to photograph.  But I just wanted to show you how tiny the body of the camera is.  It’s about the size of my iPhone.  It’s the lens that gives it heft.   Say hello to my…

  • Sydney’s 24 Hour Summer. Trying To Be A Beauty MacGyver.

    Sydney’s 24 Hour Summer.  Trying To Be A Beauty MacGyver.

    Sydney’s one and only summer’s day. There was that day this week where the temperature hit the mid 30s and it appeared that summer had finally arrived in Sydney.  I was all set for it too.  I dusted off my little white fan and set it on my desk and even turned it on a…
