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’m lucky
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 →
It’s multi-factorial
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 →
The suspense!
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...

Such a buzz
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 →
What a legend!

He's the author of two of the modern cocktail world's most influential books – The Essential Cocktail and Craft of the Cocktail. He began his bartending career... Continue Reading →
Sky high celebration
I have been doing some very delicious things recently that I wanted to share. Forgive me for recapping ... Last Thursday I went to the launch of a Danish whisky called Stauning, which my friends at The Whisky List are bringing to Australia. One of the owners ran us through the history of the distillery,... Continue Reading →
I had no idea
I remember it so clearly. I was living in a Singapore condo called The Bencoolen. I was doing an early morning workout on a stair climber in the gym. A security guard called Takza approached me, distressed and shocked, saying there had been a terrible terrorist attack in the United States. I rushed upstairs and... Continue Reading →
That’s what you get
Remember me being a smart arse about a cocktail bar launch party that kicked off at 8.30pm on a week night? I asked the PR woman if she had the time wrong. Seriously, 8.30pm on a school night? That's pyjama time. Well, the event is tonight and because I engaged with her - and was... Continue Reading →
Such a pain
I am heading to the doctor on Friday to beg for an MRI. My hip is giving me hell. It has been bothering me for years now and it’s doing my head in. I’ve tried a new mattress, endless new pillows, foot rests at the computer, alignment harnesses, working standing up, working sitting on stools... Continue Reading →
