Life This Week 21/1/2019: SSG Is Out Of Office.
Yee ha!!! My out of office email is live. The calendar and diary pages have been flipped forward to the date of my return (do you do that too?). I’ve tappity tapped down that lino-ed corridor towards home for the last time until sometime in February. My (relatively) formal clothes and shoes for work have…

Lovin’ Life 17/1/2019: A Business As Usual Top 5.
It’s been a finding joy in the everyday kind of week for me. It’s business as usual as we all return to the daily grind until Easter. It feels good to be back into the swing of things but I am also mindful and even a little scared at how fast this year is going…

Life This Week 14/1/2019: Intentions.
Looking back on my summer posts, I don’t think there’s anything left to adore. The sense of celebration palpable in the air, the change of pace, the traffic, the weather, the downtime, the family time, the me time. I’ve covered it all at least once over the last few weeks. Everything except the sense of…

Lovin’ Life 10/1/2019: The Return of My Mug.
Miracles do happen. My favourite mug has found its way back home to my office. I spotted it as I walked past the work kitchen Monday morning, casually waiting for me by the edge of the sink as if the last three weeks of life without it had never happened. Sure, someone tried to eat…

Tuesday’s This and That.
Before I forget and I’m terribly late to the party, I know but here is my Hot Cross Buns at Woolies in January photo for 2019. It was actually taken January 5. Aside from the buns, the front of my local Woolies is now wall to wall MaltEaster bunnies and Creme Eggs. I know, I…

Life This Week 7/1/2019: Hello Again.
Hello again, Happy Twenty Nineteen! I quite like the way that sounds, actually. I’m also glad I got the year right. Pretty impressive considering we’re only 7 days into the new year. It was a bit emotional, but the Christmas decorations have been taken down and packed away for next year. I love that we…

Lovin’ Life 3/1/2019: #2018bestnine
This is how 2018 looked on my Instagram. My first City to Surf in a time that I may struggle to repeat in 2019 because yes, I’m going to make this middle-aged knees do it all over again come August. Master SSG’s first day of school. It seemed like only yesterday as I look at this…

A Sentence (or Two) A Day: December 2018.
I LOVE DECEMBER!!!!!! Advent calendars, Christmas tea… I LOVE December. The tree is up and we’ve found room for the decorations I bought in Berlin this year. My Kris Kringle received their gift today and they love it! So relieved. I sent off my one and only batch of Christmas cards today. I feel somewhat…

Maybe Fridays. Festivus Inbetweenus 2018.
In one photo. How about you? I’ve got Festivus Inbetweenus pretty badly this year. My new favourite necklace from Elk. A beautiful gift from my sister in law. Despite having done time orientating things like going to work and stopping by the library, I still have no idea what the day is. Every day feels…

This and That: the Christmas / Boxing Day 2018 Edition,
Greetings from the other, equally pleasant side of Christmas. Where dawn broke over news vans and camera crews as Rushcutter’s got ready for the Boxing Day start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and mid-morning instant coffee at home with mum looked like this. With a teaspoon of sweetened condensed for her and good old…
