Ambient Lighting. Travel Plans. Seconds Pro. Front Loaders. Everything but the Kitchen Sink.
Having your gym so close to your local Westfield that you have to park at said Westfield every time you go to the gym is a burden. Truly it is. Sure your car is secure, your parking free and a stealth trip to Coles or Woolies is always on the cards (after you’ve picked up…

After The Heat. ‘Shameless’ On Toddler Time.
Chances are that if you are anywhere in New South Wales right now, you’ll be looking out at today’s heavy rains wearing something long sleeved and trying to reconcile today with the heat of yesterday. This weather, it’s driving me crazy! Though it is nice that the rain’s fixed that oppressive blanket of hot humid…

JPG for Target: Save the Date.
I don’t believe this piece of news slipped me by and thank you to Instagram for rectifying the situation. Target Australia announced the official launch date of their Gaultier collaboration on Monday. Apparently the ads have been on telly for ages but being without reception at my place, the news just passed me by. The…

New Technology. Gardening.
Well. That wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. Team ‘Can’t Function Without Office’, specifically Word. I’m back from the Apple store with my new iMac loaded with Office and fully configured. It was a two hour round trip and as much as I’m loving my new computer, the highlight of the afternoon…

Birthdays, Beds and Bikes.
Oh it was a bit of a painful start to Monday this morning. First days back at work after some action packed leave often are. Calendars had to be changed over, emails read and actioned, mountains of paper had to be shredded and the whole concept of working in general had to be revisited in…

A First Day. More Rainy Days.
It’s more of the same old same old as I look out through the rain spattered glass double doors onto the rain slicked wall and the rain drenched plants. There’s been an awful lot of staring into the distance today because this is my view if I focus on what’s immediately in front of…

Wet Wednesday.
Soggy would be putting it mildly if I was to limit myself to only one word to describe life in Sydney right now. We’re getting centimetres of rain in the city on a daily basis at the moment, there are puddles everywhere and the colour of the moment is grey. The traffic has slowed to…

Staycation Busyness.
It’s another one of those ‘glad I beat the rain home and I have a tumble drier days’ in Sydney today. Only nothing can rain on my parade at the moment because I’ve just started my annual leave. A week or so behind everyone else but I don’t care. I’m off the grid and loving…

Easter Already. ‘The Secret Chord’ by Geraldine Brooks.
Hot Cross Buns at Woolies on the second day of 2016… It’s a big call to have already nominated a read of the year on the second day of the year, but if the supermarkets are already doing a brisk trade in Hot Cross Buns then clearly, anything is possible. www.geraldinebrooks.com Geraldine Brook’s ‘The Secret…

Hello 2016!!
Hello and welcome to a happy and new year. Thank you for all your lovely comments on my last post and I hope you’re having a wonderful few days off filled with family, friends and lazy days. I’m liking what I’ve seen of 2016 so far, I have to say. I’m starting the year in…
