Friday, is that really you? I’m always happy to see you regardless of how the week’s been.  You’re an obvious sight for sore eyes/ a kind of stop sign at the end of those crazy weeks but you’re also a welcome signal to start easing into the weekend when the week hasn’t been too bad…

While today is the first official day of winter, the weather actually got the memo early this year.  There’s been a decided chill to the air all week that’s been an all day affair rather than the gone by mid morning coolness that was the case last week. I’ve spent the week cocooned in layers…

Has it only been one week? I spent last Sunday at altitude in between time zones and continents and now that I’m home, it’s almost as if I never left.  The last few days have been a blur of mum, daughter, work and me time duties and responsibilities. Half price has been the preferred pricing…

Today’s Lovin’ Life is in praise of the rain.  It’s not often that I feel this much love for the wet stuff so I thought I might as well make the most of it while it’s here. We had an unexpected deluge here early on Wednesday morning.  I was tucked up in bed, electric blanket…

These are the feet of a person who has Dug Deep and survived a full 24 hours without their phone.  I had to surrender my iPhone to the Apple store yesterday because of how I cracked its screen that first evening in Texas.  I’m pleased to report though that all my sitting around at various…

You can learn a lot about life just looking out on the San Antonio River.   I took one last stroll along the Riverwalk on Friday night.  Families, friends and co-workers were all out enjoying the cool summer’s evening and there was still plenty of light left in the sky. It was the kind of…

I’m officially ruined for the treadmills at my local 24/7 gym in Sydney. Behold the shiny and tastefully appointed 24/7 gym at my hotel here in San Antonio. But, most of all, behold the treadmills.  This is me doing my morning run in the southern hemisphere from the comfort of my treadmill in the northern…

These are even more interesting times than usual to be in the US. I can report from the front line that Anderson Cooper has been rationing his signature eye roll in the wake of news that a special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate President Trump and his political relationship with Russia. This morning saw…

Greetings from San Marcos, Texas. Where the people are lovely, the food plentiful and the soundtrack of my days is this: I finally saw La La Land on the plane and I loved it. Not just for Ryan and Emma, nor the technicoloured and slightly nostalgic view of modern day LA but also for the…

My favourite junk food is the kind you eat in foreign cities. I know I’m rubbing it in, but by the time this post gets published, I’ll be at the airport.  Hopefully checked in and waiting for my plane.  I’ll have my laptop with me and the plan is to sit some place quiet with…
