Lovin’ Life 9/3/2017: Sort of MIA. Em and Harley and Christian. Food Lately.
It feels like I’ve been missing in action this past week. Which actually doesn’t make sense because I’ve not been away and not much was especially different about my routine over the last few days. But I do have a cold and.. I Had To Work On Tuesday. Full timers or those of you who…

Life This Week 6/3/2017: Rain. ‘The Woman in Cabin 10’ by Ruth Ware.
Life this week has been soggy. I’ve used every umbrella I own at least twice and there always seems to be one drying out in the laundry room. I’ve got quite a few tabs open on my computer for Hunter wellies www.poshmark.com but sadly none of the colours I want seem to be available in…

Your Shampoo.
Today’s post is a departure from the tone of my usual posts and I apologize in advance for the bleak themes of death, dying and end of life care planning. I was privileged to have had a number of conversations this week with a family whose story and voices have had a profound impact on…

Lovin’ Life 2/3/2017: Early Autumn.
Signs of early autumn in Sydney: the cool grey tones of the mornings that have replaced the warm golds of summer getting my track pants out for the first time this year capes being worn to coffee finding new capes to grow into at Target before your preschooler’s required size gets sold out being pleasantly…

Spiders, Aquariums and Towers. A Touristy Weekend At Home.
It might have been the last official weekend of summer but I don’t think the people at Weather HQ got the memo. It didn’t just bucket down with rain on Saturday, it had the cheek to also got pretty cold while it was there as well. Preschooler SSG got to break in his new Cotton…

Life This Week 27/2/2017: Taking Stock.
Can you believe we’re at the tail end of February already? Not only that but summer will also be gone for another year as well. Denyse’s current theme for Life This Week is ‘Taking Stock’ so that’s exactly what I thought I’d do with this post: take you briefly through the happenings of my life…

Friday Drinks #9: What A Week. The Body Shop At Home. Bargains.
It’s been quite a week indeed. There were daily dramas at work, just as many surreal ‘you had to be there’ kind of moments and even more crazy ‘patient facing’ (as opposed to workmate gossip type) conversations on everything from Angelina Jolie’s spider eating (The Daily Mail tells me this is fact) to seances instead…

Lovin’ Life 23/2/2017: Comfort Carbs.
Are you starting to see a pattern from my weekend food photo diary? It goes against all the sound nutritional advice we’re given by health authorities but gee eating a baked good (with a bit of butter on top) can make the world seem a better place and the impossible suddenly achievable. Call it…

Slow News Tuesday.
A bit of a slow news day from SSG Manor 2.0 today, readers. I’m at the tail end of cold that I’m hoping will have a 48 hour turnaround time. I really need to be 100% by tomorrow morning because it’s going to be a busy day. I’ve been juicing oranges like there’s no tomorrow…

Life This Week 20/2/2017: It’s Been Busy.
A blur of busyness. That’s pretty much how this week has been for me. Thank goodness for camera rolls on iPhones though because the photos I have on mine from this week prove that through all the chaos, I did at least manage to pause and completely be in the moment at least twice this…
