the end was just the beginning
Just a quickie today, I'm still recovering from the Golden Globes ... Megan Fox used to speak in tongues (and believes in leprechauns) Megan Fox has revealed to Esquire magazine that she began speaking in tongues around the age of 8, while attending a Pentecostal church in Tennessee. "The energy is so intense in the room... Continue Reading →
We survived our Hogwarts moment at Central Station yesterday - forlornly watching Sprog 1 wheel her luggage off into the distance as she headed to camp. She looked so small, yet so purposeful. Not a tear, not a backward glance. I hope she'll be OK. It was a bit disconcerting when one of the perky... Continue Reading →
I love, love, love the Golden Globes. So much more fun than the Oscars. Here are all my favourite moments, goss and pics ... Jodie's amazing coming out speech The biggest shock of the night was Jodie Foster's rambling, often bewildering coming-out speech as she accepted her lifetime achievement award. She announced: "While I'm here being... Continue Reading →
What a weekend! The widely rumoured split between Britney and her fiance finally became official, Kelly Osbourne and Lady Gaga had a very public social media war, Heather Graham burnt down her apartment ... and now the Golden Globes are about to start. So I'm pumping HouseGoesHollywood out early. See you tomorrow with all the... Continue Reading →
Shite! I'm putting Sprog 1 on a train to camp this morning at 7.45am - very Hogwarts - and I haven't finished labelling her clothes or coming to terms with her soon-to-be-week-long absence. I'm also doing a day of honest - paid - work in the city. Back on the horse! So I'm stressed ...... Continue Reading →
This salad was inspired by a gorgeous dinner at a friend's house a few weeks ago. She served up the most delicious leafy treat and I couldn't wait to recreate it. Hers featured asparagus, I went with walnuts and avocado instead. Just one problem - the Sprogs were horrified by a bowl of smoked fish,... Continue Reading →
I am my own worst enemy. My internal dialogue sucks. It tells me I'm a terrible mother, a terrible wife, a terrible friend. It taunts me for being fat, fired and 45. I went to a party last night and met a woman who knew me by reputation. That reputation wasn't for being a terrible... Continue Reading →
This dish was inspired by my love of a classic Chinese dish called Ma Po Do Fu. I decided to try using the spicy flavours in a totally new way and I'm relieved to say it was a winner. Husband's verdict was "restaurant quality" - bless him - though in a restaurant he wouldn't have to... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I wish I had an "off" switch. I only seem to go at one speed and it's frenetic. Life often feels like a boot camp, but without the health benefits. Husband got home last night at 8.45pm - just after me and the Sprogs - and asked what we'd done that day. Here's what... Continue Reading →
It's been a day for outdoing each other in Hollywood, with the Oscars, Justin Timberlake and Beyonce all competing for column inches ... In La-La Land, ego is not a dirty word, it's de rigueur ... Dlisted reports: "Justin Timberlake tweeted this last night: "Thursday, January 10th, 2013 at 9:01 am PST..." "A bunch of people assumed... Continue Reading →
