the end was just the beginning
I thought middle-aged dating was supposed to be a sedate affair, but DD had me up until all hours last night. I'm totally knackered this morning. I know what you're thinking ... yesterday she talked about sex in a ladies loo, today she goes on about being kept up all night ... She's leading us... Continue Reading →
You know that tanty I had about talking to strangers at the Lone Star Steakhouse over the weekend? Well DD was very amused when, not long after I declared the situation "pus" (he's also very amused by my Newie vernacular, did you call crappy things "pus" when you were a teenager?) I disappeared into the... Continue Reading →
... And occasionally traumatic ... but mainly bloody wonderful ... There were moments during my blogging break that were a bit PUS, but all-in-all it was awesome, bulk fun, all that jazz ... or should that be blues? DD and I flew off to Surfers Paradise for a few days. Not my ideal choice for... Continue Reading →
While I've been away, America has been taking some time out for the Memorial Day long weekend. Memorial Day in the United States is a bit like Anzac Day in Australia. It's a time for remembering and honouring military personnel who died in the service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or... Continue Reading →
I've been feeling a little writer's blocky lately. The words haven't been bubbling up as freely as usual. So I've decided to give myself - and you - a few days off from my babbling. I'll probably be back on Tuesday. Have an awesome weekend. Thanks for sticking by me during my ups and downs.... Continue Reading →
People bag out Buzzfeed.com, but I reckon it's pretty funny. I cacked myself at its The 100 Rudest Effing Things Australians Say post yesterday. I remember studying Australian slang in 3-unit English for the HSC - the pinnacle of my academic achievement - and being blitzed by the colourful vernacular. I mean, what other country...

My daughter had a really tough time when she was four. Just before she started kindergarten a bluebottle wrapped around her leg at the beach, two weeks later she violently, terrifyingly choked on a piece of squid in a restaurant, a few days later a little boy bit her so hard in the playground he...

It's not so much a wall as a block. Some days the blog posts don't flow as easily because nothing particularly noteworthy or funny or emotive happens. That was yesterday. I woke early, pottered around my silent house, chucked the dogs into the backyard for the day and grabbed a coffee as I walked to... Continue Reading →
My boss asked me to go to Food Service 2016 yesterday. It's a trade show and conference for the food and beverage industry. It was fascinating ... and delicious! And I got paid to be there! I started off the day at The National Restaurant Conference. It featured restaurant bigwigs including John Fink (Otto), Anna... Continue Reading →
Eva Longoria and fiance José Antonio Bastón tied the knot over the weekend in a gorgeous, celeb-filled celebration in Mexico! The couple married in a sunset ceremony at Antonio's home in the town of Valle de Bravo, Mexico. Eva, 41, and Jose, 47, first stepped out as a couple in November 2013. Jose, who is president of...
