I haven't got anything to say this morning. I'm tired and coldy and it's about time I wrote something funny but nothing funny has happened lately. (Well, nothing I can blog about ...) Despite having absolutely nothing interesting to talk about, I thought I'd better blog regardless, just in case you worried I'd popped my... Continue Reading →
Needing what you can’t have
This meme popped up in my Facebook feed last night: The first name that popped into my head is DD, because our time together feels so insubstantial at the moment. Also because I'm feeling a bit poorly and need a cuddle, but he's away for work. I thought I couldn't say my boyfriend because that's... Continue Reading →
I’m not OK with that
I've become a weird mix of conservative and liberated as I've aged. Things I thought would shock me don't faze me at all ... and things I should let slide really bug me. Yep, I'm going to be one of those loud, opinionated old people. Goodie. Something that's been making me mouthy lately are the... Continue Reading →
They stole my idea!
I was doing some frantic lunchtime shopping at a Woolies yesterday (the fridge is bare after my obsessed fan visit to Melbourne and the hungry hordes will descend after school today with their middle-class demands for sourdough toast and mini packets of Kettle chips), when I noticed the supermarket had STOLEN MY IDEA. Well, they... Continue Reading →
The things we do for love
Remember your teenage obsessions? The burning need to read every word about them and watch every moment featuring them on stage and screen. Not to mention those endless daydreams about meeting them in real life! Mine was Neil Finn, seguing into David Duchovny and The X Files later in the decade ... or was that... Continue Reading →
Totally ripped off
When my dear former Woman's Day colleague Beryl posted on her Facebook feed yesterday that the entire Royal staff had been called into a special meeting at 11pm at night, I went into a total frenzy. Who calls their entire staff to a meeting at 11pm at night unless it's really, really, really serious? "WHAT... Continue Reading →
Two places at once
It's funny how all the big stuff hits at once. Actually, it's not funny, it's a bit tough, but you know what I mean. I faced a difficult single mothering dilemma this week: both kids faced something serious at the same time ... 11am on Monday morning. I fretted over what to do for a... Continue Reading →
How did I not know that? (AKA Met Gala goss)
I don't even know who I am any more. I happened to notice Met Gala pics were popping up in my Instagram feed and thought "there's a nice, light diversion from what's been a rather emotionally charged week behind the scenes at Housegoeshome." And I saw that JLo has been dating ARod for more than... Continue Reading →
Oh puhlease, that’s such bull crap!
I unfollowed a Facebook page yesterday. It was REALLY giving me the shites. It's called "Brain Porn" - I'm not going to link to it because you are much better off without it in your life. It even has the audacity to feature Hugh Laurie as its cover image, holding a brain. There's nothing brainy... Continue Reading →
Awkward, inappropriate laughter
Waaaaaaay back in the '80s I loved a weekly comedy show on the ABC called "The Big Gig". Do you remember it? Most of the jokes have floated away in the ether of time, but one vignette remains: a bloke wearing a fez with the top cut off. He had a huge spoon and pretended... Continue Reading →
