the end was just the beginning
There may be things more beautiful than the clear aquamarine waves that were crashing at Freshwater Beach yesterday. But, as I stood knee-deep in the surf, I was totally mesmerised. I wished my camera was waterproof so I could capture their glory. They reminded me of a gorgeous series by my favourite photographer, Narelle Autio:... Continue Reading →
When you write about celebrities as much as I do - and watch movies on high rotation when you're sick - it's hardly surprising that they infiltrate your dreams. Last night I was spraying sunscreen onto George Clooney's neck. George - ever the prankster - decided to engage in a little rough housing and we... Continue Reading →
I am sooooooooo sick of being sick. It's been eight days now. Eight. Bloody. Days. Literally. My nose is bleeding because it just can't take it any more. Sigh. I wake up each morning a little bit sicker rather than a little bit better. What's THAT all about? The kids have been terribly neglected on... Continue Reading →
I visited Kathleen Folbigg last weekend - remember my old school friend who's in jail? She's awaiting the results of a judicial inquiry into her case. She was supposed to have a response by August last year, then October, then January, then March and now May. Its not easy to ride that emotional rollercoaster of... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was a strange one. It started at the crack of dawn. I dropped DD at the airport at 6am - he's been almost constantly travelling for work this year. After watching "Up In The Air" on Saturday night I've given him a new nickname: "George." It sounds glamorous spending half your life staying in... Continue Reading →

A post popped up on my Facebook page last week that made my eyes go REALLY wide. Here's what it said: "My husband and I both work full time jobs. Every morning (without fail) his alarm will go off at 5.50am and he will roll over and ask if his work clothes are ready (i.e.... Continue Reading →
One of the saddest things about a relationship ending is losing the shared memories. Well, not losing them, but having them fade. The memories stay alive when you laugh or cry or fondly reminisce together over them. I dated my first boyfriend for six years, then he was gone. How could someone I'd seen almost...

I looked after an art gallery yesterday. Fancy that! The owner was going away for the weekend and asked if I could lend a hand. Ooooh yes! I was a bit freaked out by the idea of operating an Eftpos machine rather just sticking my card in one - there's something new for the CV... Continue Reading →
There's been some pretty heavy stuff on the blog recently, so I'm lightening things up to give you a break from the big issues. And it doesn't get much lighter than how you feel when you are loved. Sure, I have my wobbles, I need to work the whole career thing out and my husband... Continue Reading →
