There's an American comedian I love called Leanne Morgan. DD sent me a snippet of one of her routines a few days ago and asked: "Can u relate?"

Well blow me down with a feather ... my mouth literally fell open when I saw Cosmopolitan magazine is set to make its Australian return after closing down almost six years ago. The first issue will be out in August, led by publisher Katarina Kroslakova’s publishing house KK Press in collaboration with Hearst Magazines International. The editorial... Continue Reading →

The weather was so glorious over the weekend in Sydney - I hope it was around your way too. It fascinates me to feel and see the seasons change. The intense light of summer has gone and the air is getting crisp in the mornings, but the sky is vividly blue and ocean is still... Continue Reading →

Warning: I am about to complain. Please forgive me. Complaining is very dull. I have been trying... Continue Reading →

I went to the launch of the alc-eze Hangover-Free Pop-up Bar last night with my friend Claudia, who I haven't seen forever. She's just been to the Pilbara to celebrate her birthday and her happy snaps are INCREDIBLE. She said I must go. Here's an example: And look at the sky ... Wow. Just wow. Anyhoo, the pop-up...

It has been very noisy inside my ears over the past 24 hours. For a start I have a touch of tinnitus because I've been slack with my ear vacuuming. I should know better as I have a long history of ear blockages. My mother thought I was a very naughty girl when I was... Continue Reading →
