the end was just the beginning
What would a week in celebrity land be without a slew of bikini selfies from the stars? >> Elle Macpherson posed on a yacht on the Italian Riveria, in a grey, black and yellow bikini. She held a glass of Super Elixir - her wellness drink that's sold out twice in the UK since launching... Continue Reading →
People have been cooking me dinner since Sunday night, it's AWESOME. On Sunday, a friend cooked a roast with all the trimmings. On Monday, a bloke barbecued. On Tuesday, the kids and I went to a dodgy curry place after swimming lessons. On Wednesday, my sis cooked delicious steak with a yummy asparagus and feta... Continue Reading →
Life is still in a holding pattern and so I bring you ... the night I partied with the stars (aka when House REALLY went Hollywood). I've blogged about it before, but I found the original article in the attic, so here's the story in it's full glory ... Thank you Kate, I couldn't have... Continue Reading →
Everything and nothing is happening in my life right now. My brain feels like a pinball machine on double time as the thoughts ping about. Who, what, where, why ... While I wait for news and clarity, I've decided to blog a story I wrote for Cosmopolitan magazine 16 years ago (another attic discovery). Reading... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was yet another day filled with memories as I finally emptied the attic. Hooley dooley, the stuff I'd squirreled away!

My sister's partner brought his daughters and all the kids got along like a house on fire. I made my usual crowd-pleaser: slow-roasted lamb and salty roast potatoes. I copped out and...

OK, so I got my first UGLY comment on the blog yesterday. And it came from a friend. I never expected to get trolled by a friend. Weird. But I'm soldiering on with blogging, even though apparently: "You think you're SO interesting but you're as ordinary and dumb as they get. Pull your head out... Continue Reading →
My new job rocks. My escape.com.au workmates are really nice, I get to write about celebrities and travel every day, heaps of my friends work in the same building and when you press "42" on the drink dispensing machine a can of Diet Coke comes out. There's the meaning of life for you. It's also... Continue Reading →
How can there possibly be 7 things people might not know about me? I tell everyone EVERYTHING. I am the ultimate over-sharer. Unfortunately for those who read the blog, you only get the edited version. Meet me for a drink and I'll curl your toenails or at least make your face hurt from laughing at... Continue Reading →
