Master SSG and I were there on that beautiful Sunday afternoon last weekend to say goodbye for now to the Australian Museum. As a gift to the public on its last weekend on display to the public before closing for a year for a bit of nip and tuck, the museum was offering everyone free…

The days, the month, heck this year is hurtling by at frightening pace.   Brief and less frequent blog posts and Instagram have been my social media outlets of choice as I try to juggle work, life and a creative outlet.  Bear with me.  I have a feeling in my waters that life will settle down…

It’s all of the above for me. The day cannot possibly begin without a large mug of tea that I bring back to bed after it’s made.  I sit with it there, warming my hands (yes… even in summer) as I plan and ponder the day ahead.  I’m a big fan of easing into the…

This week I’m loving… Vietnamese fresh spring rolls.  One of my favourite lunches ever and I’ve found a little lunch bar close to home that makes them. Rediscovering the treadmill at the gym.  Not as painful or as boring as I feared thanks to those great Aaptiv audio-guided runs.  Love the treadmill and my Airpods…

This is 44. A homemade birthday cake, sprinkled with care in colours that match a birthday gift painting of life under the sea… The cake was a labour of love and one of joy.  I don’t get to bake much these days so I pulled out all the stops. Vanilla paste and beans freshly scraped…

There could only be one topic up for discussion in this week’s post… the 2019 Sydney City2Surf.  Despite the horrible weather this weekend (I was afraid Saturday’s fierce winds would be making a repeat appearance for race day), the sun (eventually) found its rightful place high in the sky and promptly got that sky to…

Well hello, and welcome to the glamour that is my life. Spring is so close, I can feel it in the air.  The winter to spring/summer transition also happens to be my very favourite seasonal change of the year.  What better way to celebrate than by spending a few hours with my hairdresser hatching a…

This week, I am grateful for all the disparate things that make up an average week in my life. A Sunday morning birthday party in the park for my nephew. Finding a new friend nesting on my weights the other morning after my run.  This particular snake hisses when you press its head.  It scared…

July.  It’s become a month that lurches from one extreme to the other.  School holidays and a trip home to Perth on the one hand, crazy times at work on the other.  Miserable rain and gusts of wind one day, beautiful sun and a hint of warmth the next.   Through it all there’s been many…

It’s been a hectic couple of weeks at work and by extension the rest of my life.  There’s been a fair bit of rushing, a similar amount of impatience (I’m sad to say) and moments where I’ve wondered how I’d manage to fit it all in.  So while I’m on theme regarding sharing the week’s…
