the end was just the beginning
My eyes went as wide as saucers when I read about lifelong friends James Packer and David Gyngell fighting like "two mad dogs" on the street in Bondi on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps the most shocking bit of the report - for me - on the SMH website was this: According to alleged witness claims, people... Continue Reading →
"He makes his choices. He can do—whatever. We're divorced, and you can see why ... Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, 'Oh—I can see that that was inconsiderate' ... There's a sensitivity chip that's missing." Jennifer Aniston, Vanity Fair, 2005 While... Continue Reading →
I drove past the first house I ever bought earlier this week. Ah, memories! It's on a busy road in Petersham, opposite a petrol station, which made it nice and cheap (there was also the small matter of a bikie gang having established a clubhouse over the back fence, but I didn't discover THAT until...

You'd think the "bad dream" aspect to my personal drama would have experienced a massive wake-up call by now. But no. It's been almost three months and I still can't quite believe it's not a nightmare. I've been partially deaf the past few days and Husband would normally be around to help. Instead I've prevaricated... Continue Reading →
Such a sad, sad week for the stars. The cause of Peaches Geldof's death was finally revealed, we lost beloved newsreader Ian Ross, and the movie world is a smaller place without Bob Hoskins. If I were to be flippant, which would be entirely inappropriate in the circumstances, there was also extensive mourning over the... Continue Reading →
I should have been cleaning and clearing and decluttering this week, but instead I've been parked on the couch mainlining season six of Californication. I bought it on Monday after a friend texted to say he'd spotted it in the new-release section at JB HiFi. I've been haunting JB for months wondering when the freaking... Continue Reading →
HouseGoesHome - much as I love it - has come to symbolise the collapse of my marriage. Its birth coincided with a terrible turning point in my relationship. I didn't notice. I was busy trying to glue myself back together after my career, health and parenting took a beating. I look back and realise the... Continue Reading →
I found a card while I was clearing out the attic. It said ... I love you and I miss you and I will see you soon. I loved you all bright eyed and energetic when I left this morning. I look forward to loving you more when I get back. It made me very... Continue Reading →
What was your verdict on the Logies last night? As usual it went waaaaaaay too late, not wrapping up until around midnight, there were mixed reviews of Kylie Minogue's performance including allegations on Twitter that she was miming, and Richard Wilkins won the award for worst joke of the night when he announced: "It's official: Scott...

What is it with me and over-scheduling? Yesterday was a whirl of my mother's birthday lunch, cooking a dinner party for seven people and then taking the kids to "The Katy Perry Show" at a local suburban club. The Katy Perry bit was a late starter. A school mum messaged me at 8.45am and... Continue Reading →
