A Sentence (Or Two) A Day: April 2019
My reflection on the month that was is back for April after Blogger saw fit to delete my post for March. Perhaps it just wasn’t meant to be. April was crazy in the nicest possible way. School holidays, Easter, a trip away, a visit to Sydney by my mum and aunties. Crazy busy, crazy adventurous…

The Boston Diaries 7: The North End .. In the Rain.
Well hello and welcome to a picture heavy post. I’m sitting here with my ‘one for the road’ sweetgreen kale Caesar celebrating having survived checking out of the hotel, getting to the airport, getting through security and not losing a single thing! Present me is thanking past me profusely for having the foresight to get…

The Boston Diaries 6: Love You, Boston. The New England Aquarium.
It’s always the way. The rougher the start, the harder I fall. Boston, I think I love you. Despite all those flight delays to get here, that dismal weather that greeted me when I finally got here and the small issue of the city tour that wasn’t. With just over a day left here, I’ve…

The Boston Diaries 5: A Garden, A Common and A Trail.
The sun was shining, the tulips in front of Trinity Church were owning the colour yellow and Carly Copley, the official canine in residence at the Fairmont Copley Plaza was pleased with it all. Meanwhile, on the corner of Exeter and Boylston, the Lenox was looking dark and mysterious. A little old school Hollywood glamour…

The Boston Diaries 4: It Was One of Those Days.
Monday. What a day. But at least I got my Starbucks with my Starbucks name 🙂 Monday was a day that didn’t quite go to plan. Long term readers of the blog will also know that I’m a traveller that ‘can’t let go’. My trip itinerary is usually planned out on a Word table (because…

The Boston Diaries 3: The Fairmont Copley Plaza. Newbury Street.
Happy, Hoppy Easter from the lobby of the Fairmont Copley Plaza. I was told that an after brunch petting zoo was also on offer. But where, I wonder? I just can’t see an inch of the lobby that would be animal proof…. Easter brunch was in full swing when I checked in. Little ones on…

The Boston Diaries 2: Shopped and Rested.
The stillness and quiet here in Franklin has been deeply restorative. Seemingly overnight I’ve gotten over jetlag, the last dregs of a cold and the dodgy left knee I got from that one time I ran a half marathon distance. It’s so green here. Trees line the motorways and they continue in forests as far…

The Boston Diaries 1: The Journey and The Routine.
Hello from Massachussets, the first state I’ve ever visited in New England. It’s rainy outside and surprisingly humid. I think I have a suitcase full of clothes pitched at the colder weather my iPhone lead me to believe would prevail for my stay. Oh well. Just as well I’m off shopping today. Tigger’s first stop…

A Good Friday Goodbye.
Hello chickens, Just a quick note to wish you all a lovely Easter break. Looking skyward for part of the Easter message yesterday. Reflect on the message of Easter, put those feet up, eat all the things, revel in doing not much at all… you deserve it. Meanwhile. I think I’ve emptied the correct zip…

Lovin’ Life 18/4/2019: Five Things.
What a happy day today is! I don’t care if that sentence doesn’t even make any sense. Tomorrow is Good Friday and the start of a back to back long weekend bonanza (with ANZAC Day) that last happened in 2014. We won’t be getting another until 2025 so make the most of it. Other things…
