the end was just the beginning
Husband continues to profess his undying hatred of my bunny. Last night he started fantasising about dangling a paw from the rear-vision mirror. The man really knows how to hold a grudge. I mean, just because the furry little bundle destroyed the electrical cords belonging to his TV, DVD player, 2 lamps, the fridge, the... Continue Reading →
My friend sent me an email yesterday afternoon called "Mel's Tans". She's eager to give her new spray-tan gun a work-out, so she's "open for a pre-holiday tan tomorrow" ... Sadly, I'm not going on holiday, so I can stay pasty white. But it's the perfect excuse to run my third most popular HouseGoesHome blog of... Continue Reading →
I'm campaigning for a longish getaway together as a family. Not immediately, maybe a year from now. I want to wait until the youngest's memory extends beyond that of a gnat. But not too long, because the eldest's size indicates puberty may be just around the corner. Husband's long-service leave is coming up and I'm... Continue Reading →

Ironically I was in Los Angeles last week for work and totally out of touch with what was happening in Hollywood. Here's what I missed ... >> Anne Hathaway is selling her Brooklyn apartment (below). And I love the way Today reported it: "Actually, a clarification: Anne Hathaway is selling her Brooklyn closet." Apparently the actress... Continue Reading →
I got off a plane at 6am yesterday and scored the most beautiful run through the airport - straight up to a bloke at border control, bag off the carousel within 10 minutes, straight through customs ... so I figured I deserved a shower and a hug. I took a deep breath and paid for... Continue Reading →
I'm beginning to think Mulder was right with the whole trust no-one thing. He's lucky they didn't have Facebook back then, way scarier than alien/government conspiracies. I'm relatively new to the Facebook world. It was strange uncharted territory a few years ago. Now it's my personal and professional newsfeed all rolled into one. I love... Continue Reading →
Leaving home makes me sick ... Literally. I’ve snuffled/spewed my way through Koh Samui, Singapore, South Carolina, Fiji … and now Pasadena. Yep, I am poorly.
