the end was just the beginning
I was a bit scared about DD turning up on my doorstep last night. We were off to a Heroes & Villains 50th birthday party for one of his uni friends. He told me he was going as Two Face. His daughter is a really talented make-up artist - her tutorials get hundreds of thousands... Continue Reading →
I had a scare earlier this week. I thought someone had stolen my car. I've been lucky enough to score a parking space in the basement of the building where I work. When I wandered underground one night, my spot was empty. Cue minor heart failure. Then I decided to check if I'd accidentally parked... Continue Reading →
It feels like a dream. I can't believe it's finally happening. Almost 12 months after a response was expected from the government, Kathleen Folbigg is finally going to get her answer. The NSW Governor was supposed to decide what to do about a petition for a judicial review of her case in September last year.... Continue Reading →
DD is perturbed by how angry I remain with my ex. It's been more than two years since we separated, I'm happily in a new relationship, my life is is filled with lovely things, but the fury still simmers. (I know it's not healthy. The negative feelings are slowly ebbing. Two years isn't really that... Continue Reading →
My new job involves the occasional bottle of booze landing on my desk to take for a spin. Poor me. The latest treat was McWilliam's Wines Spice Royale. As I noted on drinks central earlier this week, McWilliam’s Wines has released a new range of flavoured fortifieds: Strawberry Delight, Spice Royale and Espresso Press. Russell Cody, McWilliam’s...

I accidentally sent my 12-year-old a text message yesterday that said: "How you travelling, stud?" I stood there staring at my phone thinking "Oh, that's OK, that's OK, no biggie ... oh no, oh no, oh no!" The 12-year-old was at her dad's house at the time. The text message was meant for DD, who...

So, my little renovation project kicks off in a few weeks and I'm starting to fret. Should I be doing this? Can I really afford this? Am I doing the right things? Am I doing the wrong things? Have I chosen badly? On the Can I really afford this? front, I've postponed the double-glazed front... Continue Reading →
DD has been on a fitness kick for about three months now. I'm very impressed by his dedication. He gets up at 5.30am and heads to 6am F45 classes, then sends me gorgeous sunrise shots. He goes on 20km bike rides and kayaking expeditions with his mates. He even came to pump with me the... Continue Reading →
The youngest was pretty stoked with how her life went yesterday - she couldn't wait to tell me all about it when I got home. She got her first 20 out of 20 in a spelling test, which she thought was awesome because spelling isn't her thing. But also kinda crap because it means she now... Continue Reading →
Nothing quirky or interesting happened in my life yesterday, it was bog standard. The highlight was scoffing leftover Mamak chicken curry that my boss bought everyone in the office the day before, with a round of fresh roti. Yep, that's as exciting as it got. Actually, free Mamak chicken curry and roti two days in... Continue Reading →
