I brought a casserole of this divine stuff to my parents' house for the holidays, as you do, when you are me. We had it with sausages on Thursday night and I'm scoffing the leftovers tonight after a few hours at a wine bar with a lovely Twitter friend. There's been no time to nibble... Continue Reading →
There are certain items you can post to prisoners. Undies. Bottle green shorts. Books. No nail files. My friend in jail asked if I could send her some summer pyjamas. I checked what was "allowed" with a prison guard. She told me they had to be cotton with 3/4 length pants and a patterned t-shirt... Continue Reading →
Sprog 2 is so-so on any soups that aren't potato. A couple of slurps and she's "full". Although, there's a special part of her stomach that's still able to squeeze in 50 slices of bread.

This is a blog about my pimples. Sexy, no? I wrote it while on holidays in Barcelona on September 27 last year. Oddly enough I currently have a matching one, in exactly the same part of my forehead. Except this September 27 I'm staying at my parents' house in Newcastle. Grotesquely massive pimples in foreign... Continue Reading →

A year ago today, the Household did something very, very silly. We went to a fireworks parade in Barcelona. It was exhilarating and terrifying in equal measures. To celebrate its anniversary we're doing something similarly nuts - going swimming at Maroubra. (After going to something that Husband informed me at 5.30am he bought on a... Continue Reading →
