Lovin’ Life 21/6/2018: (Kind Of) Mid Life Crisis Hair.
In the end, it wasn’t as dramatic as what I thought it would be. My mid life crisis hair appointment, I mean but I am loving my freshly balayaged hair. It’s got life and it’s got some interest to it. Due to some complex science relating to avoiding yellow or orange in the foiled bits,…

Nice Things About Winter. VIVID Taronga 2018.
We’re only around 20 days into winter 2018 but it feels like it’s been winter forever. Sydney is one of those places that seems to fight the arrival of winter with the same zeal that cosmetic companies fight ‘ageing’.

Life This Week 11/6/2018: The M – Z of Me!
Picking up where I left off in my companion ‘A-L of Me’! post. Mi Goreng. With an egg, with carrots or bok choy, with extra fried onions, with some leftover supermarket roast chicken and even meatballs. So many possibilities and they’re all unfailingly delicious.

Lovin’ Life 7/6/2018: Winter Favourites.
A few of my favourite things. The winter edition. Proper Strong Black Tea. Explorer socks. My dryer. Flannel pyjamas, thermals and an empty laundry basket. In conjunction with all of the above.

Life This Week 4/6/2018: What I Will Never See Again…
I love honey. Peanut butter on toast is not its best self until a drizzle of honey comes into the equation. I add honey to my baked soy chicken drumsticks in the last five minutes of cooking time to get all of the sweetness and glaze without the sugar related charring. Honey in black tea…
