    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’.  We keep winter at bay with a lifestyle that embraces the great outdoors practically all year…

    Life This Week 18/6/2018: Show Us Your Snaps #5.

    Quite a bit of variety and territory covered for Show Us Your Snaps #5…. The date is in my memory banks. From June 20, I will be armed with enviro bags (plus or minus just a few of my Lulu Lemon shopping bags) every time I head to Woolies. It was cast iron cookware day…

    The Long Weekend.  Remembering Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain.

    It’s been the kind of long weekend for keeping warm and keeping dry. Good thing I took this message to heart as I got myself ready for Sunday morning swimming. We had good friends come over for lunch and a play.  We can collectively vouch for the deliciousness of these Tegal chicken nuggets all the…

    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.  It also has to be the IndoMie brand for me.  I’ve…

    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. Lazy evenings or early mornings spent in the company of a warm blanket and a good read.  Even better if rain is pattering…

  • 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…

    Readers, I dug deep and stepped away from my computer.  Without even adding one of these to my virtual shopping basket.
