A Day at The Show.
It’s taken me nearly a decade of living in Sydney to do it but it’s finally happened. Preschooler SSG and I took advantage of the perfect Easter long weekend weather and went with some friends to the Sydney Royal Easter Show on Monday. Our tickets included free return public transport to the show grounds which…

Life This Week 17/4/2017: Special Times To Remember.
It’s been one of those rare and special weeks for us that we’ve spent mostly in staycation mode. Free of the pressures of packing, planning for and then actually reaching a holiday destination, the last four days have still been busy but a whole lot less regimented than usual. It’s been a time for me…

Lovin’ Life 13/4/2017: Happy Easter!!
And we’re officially signing out ahead of this long and much needed Easter break.

What’s not to like about a runway to real way find? www.shopethica.com I’ve had this thing for Banjo & Matilda cashmere star sweaters for the longest time.

Recent Reads For Young and Old.
Preschooler SSG and I have been reading more than usual these last few weeks. The days are shorter and once it gets dark I immediately think ‘bed time’ but Preschooler SSG thinks otherwise. A few good reads in bed before lights out has been our happy compromise. I thought I’d romantically theme today’s book reviews…

Missing Melbourne. The Weather.
Early autumn in Sydney is as close as we get to Melbourne’s year round ‘four seasons in one day’ climate. It’s been too long since I’ve last visited Melbourne but for some reason, the weather patterns of the last few weeks have gotten me missing and craving a little hit of that first Major Australian…

Life This Week 3/4/2017: Daylight Saving Is Over…..
The end of daylight saving is full of sad goodbyes for me. It’s see you next year, Christmas and all the over the top gifting, celebrating, eating and precious time with loved ones. It’s same place this time next year to the beach on a particularly oven like summer’s evening. It’s having to end my…

Friday Drinks #11: Lip Colour With Associations to Old Times. Heels.
Is it Friday already? I hope the week has been as kind to you and yours as it has been to mine. It’s been a week of hitting that pleasant groove and running with it at work and at home. Some of that groove has been gotten by way of my favourite easy listening radio…
