I didn't blog yesterday because I have a cold. Blah! Not a bad one, but I feel a bit wiped out. I’ve also been very miserable about selling my house. I have been berating myself, convinced I’ve made a terrible mistake. I have created a lovely, large bedroom for myself in my current abode. It... Continue Reading →
The courting begins
The cooling off period on my house expired on Friday, so my house hunting began in earnest on Saturday morning. I can now make offers on properties with confidence. Ah, the power! My friends Emily and Fee sacrificed their morning to trek around with me. We didn't get to all the places on my list... Continue Reading →
Square peg
I was a bit startled last week when two people in a 12-hour period suggested I might have adult ADHD. They had just watched Em Rusciano's Press Club of Australia address and urged me to take a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z-JzH6b9y8 So I did. And it was incredible, I highly recommend watching it. Em Rusciano is amazing.... Continue Reading →
I hadn’t thought of that
I treated my friend Claudia to a free feed last night at the opening of a new restaurant at The Star Sydney called Rumble. Rumble mixes modern Asian dishes with a spice-infused cocktail menu. It celebrates the four classic flavours that permeate Southeast Asian culinary culture – sweet, salty, spicy, and sour. The restaurant’s decor... Continue Reading →
Celebrity glitch
I wonder how many heads rolled over the Facebook glitch that swept the world yesterday? I happened to glance at my feed in the late afternoon and it was filled with 50 million messages to Robert Downey Jr and the NSW Police department. It was weird and very annoying. I did a bit of Googling... Continue Reading →
Memory loss
It's all very well to justify driving into work once a week by packing my breakfast and lunch, but it's not much use if I forget to put them in the car. I was soooo annoyed with myself when I parked in the city and realised my bag containing a wholemeal BLT roll and tofu... Continue Reading →
Is this the one?
On my first weekend of house hunting I inspected an apartment that my friends and DD really liked, but didn’t do it for me. I threw the brochure in the bin afterwards because it was on a busy road. The garbage collectors took my rubbish away yesterday so I can't retrieve it, which is a... Continue Reading →
Secret location
I've discovered that telling people where you are thinking about buying an apartment is a bit like discussing names you are considering for your baby. It's best to keep your mouth shut because they will have lots of opinions and many of them will be negative. Whereas if you tell them after the fact, they... Continue Reading →
Commuter blues
You would think someone who enjoys talking as much as I do would be happy to be spending two days a week in the office, but it's a bit of a drag. Don't get me wrong, I love meeting everyone and having a laugh, but I get so much less work done. I currently start... Continue Reading →
Pets in high places
I caught up with my friend Ania last night to get the lowdown on what its like to own a pet in an apartment. She has a gorgeous fur baby and said he loves high-rise life. I grilled her on how arduous she finds taking a dog out for a wee three or four times... Continue Reading →
