Gingers do have souls (and they need a hug)
I didn't know Hug/Kiss A Ginger Day existed when I wrote a blog about it last year. I just thought it was a cool title. Barely a day goes by when someone doesn't Google "Hug A Ginger Day" and come to my blog, so there are obviously a few redheads out there needing some love. The... Continue Reading →

Prosecco, prawn dumplings and girl crushes
It's funny to spend months admiring someone from afar then find yourself being toasted by them in a bar with prosecco. Good funny. In my search for fabulous Aussie bloggers I stumbled across Kerri Sackville's hilarious writing at Life & Other Crises, many moons ago. She's one of the funniest women blogging in Oz, I reckon....

I cried a lot last night. It started in the Sydney Opera House lobby over a glass of Chandon. I was trying to tell Husband about a heartbreaking story I'd read in the Sunday papers.

My week: body shaming, cock-ups and a spot of geriatric sex
My week has been more ridiculous than Lady Gaga's gold-plated wheelchair. Here's what went down ...

My mum called me this morning to tell me it was HILARIOUS. OK, she's... Continue Reading →
Forty farking five. How did that happen?
I'm 45 today. Forty farking five. Tomorrow I will be officially closer to 50 than 40. There's a cheery bit of news. To celebrate turning 45 I'm attending Sprog 2's first netball training session and sausage sizzle. OK, that's downplaying the day slightly - at 6pm the babysitter is arriving and Husband and I are...

Orecchiette with salmon, cherry tomatoes and olives
I had a couple of salmon fillets in the fridge the other day, but I wasn't in the mood for my usual holier-than-thou grilled with salad option. So I came up with this pasta dish instead. Much naughtier but delish! My eldest gobbled it up too. She's getting to be quite the little foodie. As... Continue Reading →
