When Everything’s Just Right In the World.
Hello!! I’m still here. Making the most of this glorious Autumn/Summer day. It took a couple of goes under the timed hot water shower at the pool to partially defrost this morning plus a bit of time on a deck chair by the pool but we got there in the end. How’ve you been? I…

Where Are You, Weekend? As Seen (and Purchased) At Target.
I don’t know about you but I’m pretty much ready for the weekend as of today, thank you very much. I got my hair done yesterday and I manged to score hand massages in addition to a scalp massage. It was a bit of a treat waking up with both good hair and a tension…

Behold the Magnificence.
This is how good we looked this evening, Sydney. www.smh.com.au Showstopper does not even begin to describe it. The day started off so drearily too. Heavy rains, grey skies and … possum dung over the sunroof bit of the car. Say what you like about the possums. They have excellent aim. And then to be…

Lovin’ Life 8/5/2016: the Mothers and the Mothered.
There’s so much going on today. Mother’s Day, The Logies and last but not least… Election Calling Day. Something there for all of us, I think. Anyway. This is just a quick post focusing on the Mother’s Day part of the equation. It’s been so long since I’ve watched free to air television, I don’t…

Colour and Light.
It will happen one day. But probably not any time soon. Do the run to Rushcutter’s and back without taking a photo of the boats on the water, I mean. It’s the sight of them bobbing gracefully on the water at such close proximity to me, slightly puffed out and sweaty from the stop start…

Books and Leaves: Backlogs Cleared.
Leafy Thursdays seem to be rolling around at the speed of light these days. It always seems to be around May when the year officially begins to race away from me. Work travel, the organised chaos of winter at work and before you know it, Christmas will be here again… But I’m getting ahead of…

Workout Specific Updos, Home Laminating and Meat Lover’s Bolognese. The Excitement Of All of the Above.
With my basil is looking this good, how could I possibly not make up a big pot of bolognese? I keep claiming to have found my forever bolognese recipe but that doesn’t stop me from suffering the occasional bout of spag bol wanderlust. And when I found Adrian Richardson’s recipe for bolognese here and noticed…

A Royal Vogue Cover. Meanwhile In Suburbia.
It was always going to be hard to get the cover pitch perfect when your covergirl is HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and the occasion is Vogue UK’s centenary. But I’ll just go out and say it. I’m a bit disappointed. While I respect everyone involved for not airbrushing the cover photo to oblivion, it…

Lovin’ Life 1/5/2016: Autumn’s Leaves and Cinnamon.
We’ve only got another official month of autumn to go. It’s all a bit sad, really because it really is such a beautiful time of year in Sydney. It’s the golden orange leaves that have my heart, actually. I never noticed them as much at the old house but here, autumn leaves have blanketed…
