My friend Megz tagged me on a post she shared for World Left Handed Day yesterday. It included this pic: Back when I actually used textas and biros, I was well acquainted with ink smudges on my hand. It reminded me of a post I wrote four years ago called "They'd have killed me in... Continue Reading →

Who'd have guessed that the hottest fashion item in 2020 would be a face mask? This ad popped up on a news site I was visiting yesterday: Blimey, face masks with bling! And my gmail account is filled with messages from retailers announcing they have new stocks and styles available.. My expat friend Nathan (below)... Continue Reading →

Here's a selection of thoughts that ran through my head yesterday. I have around three simultaneous thoughts every minute, so I've culled the list fairly heavily. I think I made the right decision stayIng a redhead. My friend Mel is so sweet to offer to do my roots so I can save money on hair... Continue Reading →

The wet and wild weather gave me the chance to test out my new ALDI gumboots yesterday ... and revealed they are not, in fact, waterproof. Keep that in mind next time they're in store. They are nothing more than plastic RM Williams knock-offs. I spent the whole day in the office in soggy socks and... Continue Reading →

Someone posted this photo on my Facebook feed last week with a caption along these lines: "I'd love to show this picture to someone in the 80s and ask them what they think is going on."

I am blanking... Continue Reading →

I worked from home with a unique soundtrack yesterday: an indigenous bloke jackhammering all the tiles off my second toilet room while singing Aboriginal songs. It was quite something. Lovely and headache inducing at the same time. With the tiles gone you can see how it was once an outside toilet. Over the weekend, in... Continue Reading →

I am stoked that after almost six years together I can still stare at a picture of DD like a love-struck teenager. I shared the photo in yesterday's blog post. It's this one: I feel so smiley every time I look at it. It shows the man I love looking exactly as he does in... Continue Reading →

I'm feeling a little National Enquirer today, so hold on tight, I've got some wild headlines for you ... Headline No.1: Happy birthday to my favourite person in the world (that I'm not related to)! Yep, it's DD's birthday! He’s very unimpressed with the numeral involved, so I won't mention what it is. I don't... Continue Reading →
