Lovin’ Life 14/2/2019: LEGO Cities by The Brickman at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.
A sunny Sunday morning earlier this month saw me visit the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park for the first time ever. I was there with Master SSG to visit The Brickman’s Lego Cities exhibition. I am obviously one of those people who’ve been under a rock these last few years because the EQ is a…

I’m Working More Hours A Week Now. I Need A New Green Handbag. Obviously.
Well. Hello there…. A select number of Master SSG’s ‘pets’ who got the day spa treatment in the front loader befor being hung out to air dry as part of my headless chicken laundry frenzy this weekend. I’ve (just) survived my first week of working four days a week since … forever. To be honest,…

Life This Week 11/2/2019: My Worst Purchase….
My worst purchase was that first Iced Latte from McCafe because it has fuelled an addiction that sees me planning my days around how I can work a side trip to a Maccas for my next fix. Some might say they’re too sweet, others question the quality of the espresso that is the heart of…

Lovin’ Life 7/2/2019: Top 5. The Smilie Faced Edition.
This week’s Top 5 are a collection of photos that have made me smile these last couple of weeks. Finding this inflatable thong on the foreshore the morning after the night before’s Australia Day fireworks. Catching a glimpse of Eliza by Perth artist Tony Jones on the site of the old Crawley Baths on a morning…

Life This Week 4/2/2019: The Week Before School Began.
Life this week has been all about the lead up to day one, term one of year one. It was a much calmer walk hand in hand to school than this time last year. It helped that we’d arrived a good 40 minutes before the bell. It gave us plenty of time to find a…

A Sentence (Or Two) A Day: January 2019.
January is one of those funny months for me. My heart says holiday but my brain and work contract say business as usual. The end result is that I had lots of fun this month but I was also not as on the ball with general life admin as I should have been. In any…

It’s Summer and It’s Hot In Sydney. Food I Ate In Perth.
It’s not fancy but it was cheap (the last one they had at Woolies for $35 down from $50) and we’ve become very good friends in the days that we’ve been together. I speak, of course, of my new metal floor fan. My old one broke rather dramatically on the night we returned from Perth…

Perth Revisited.
There’s something special that happens when Perth and I reconnect. It’s around the time that I hit the tarmac at the airport that I feel it. The space, the flatness that seems to stretch out forever with a sense of limitless possibility, the clearness to the air. Sydney me taking a gratuitous selfie on the…

Lovin’ Life 24/1/2019: In Anticipation of the New School Year.
This week I’m loving the possibilities and clarity of empty spaces. I’ve been attacking various areas of the house over the last few weeks to both create space and rid the house of anything that isn’t necessary or treasured. My riff on the Kondo-mania that’s hit Australia these last few weeks. School begins for us…
