More than four hours of my Thursday was spent visiting The Stadium Clinic to see one of the Sydney Swans' orthopedic guys about my hip issues. It's a bit random that I ended up seeing him. He's part of The Warrior - DD's personal trainer, who also trains footy teams - network. DD’s physiotherapist Bryan... Continue Reading →

I had my first lot of periodontic treatment yesterday. It was very unpleasant. The periodontist applied numbing gel to my gums first, but those eight pre-cleaning needles still stung. I was also warned that the anaesthetic would make me feel a bit shakey and panicked at first. It was hard to tell because I was... Continue Reading →

There's an American comedian I love called Leanne Morgan. DD sent me a snippet of one of her routines a few days ago and asked: "Can u relate?" It starts with her saying: "My husband does not talk …” https://www.tiktok.com/@leannemorgancomedy/video/7308487996762901802?lang=en DD stumbled across it during one of his many Tik Tok deep dives. The deep dive followed me... Continue Reading →

Well blow me down with a feather ... my mouth literally fell open when I saw Cosmopolitan magazine is set to make its Australian return after closing down almost six years ago. The first issue will be out in August, led by publisher Katarina Kroslakova’s publishing house KK Press in collaboration with Hearst Magazines International. The editorial... Continue Reading →

The weather was so glorious over the weekend in Sydney - I hope it was around your way too. It fascinates me to feel and see the seasons change. The intense light of summer has gone and the air is getting crisp in the mornings, but the sky is vividly blue and ocean is still... Continue Reading →

It turns out my fibroid has nothing to do with my sacrum and hip issues. I almost wish it was Freddie that was the problem. Then he could be whipped out - along with my uterus - and I would live happily ever after. However, the MRI has revealed I actually have “severe” arthritis in... Continue Reading →

I must not buy any more handbags because it is going to cost $1800 to fix my gums. That's on top of the $275 that it cost for the periodontist to measure how far my gums have receded between each tooth. The verdict; I have mild periodontitis. It’s a gum infection that can lead to... Continue Reading →

How was your weekend? I went for walks, helped cooked a birthday lunch for DD's mum ... and was filled with an overwhelming urge to buy stuff. That can mean only one thing: I am shopping my feelings. Warning: I am about to complain. Please forgive me. Complaining is very dull. I have been trying... Continue Reading →

I went to the launch of the alc-eze Hangover-Free Pop-up Bar last night with my friend Claudia, who I haven't seen forever. She's just been to the Pilbara to celebrate her birthday and her happy snaps are INCREDIBLE. She said I must go. Here's an example: And look at the sky ... Wow. Just wow. Anyhoo, the pop-up...

It has been very noisy inside my ears over the past 24 hours. For a start I have a touch of tinnitus because I've been slack with my ear vacuuming. I should know better as I have a long history of ear blockages. My mother thought I was a very naughty girl when I was... Continue Reading →
