It's funny how you get used to feeling sick. I'm filled with delight when I wake up each morning and energised about the day ahead. It's been a bit of a struggle over the past few months. I finally got back to the gym yesterday, after many weeks away. I went to a butt, abs... Continue Reading →
Recalibrating
The weather was absolutely glorious in Sydney over the weekend - I hope it was fab around your way too. I love the Indian summer that April brings. I hadn't planned on visiting DD on Good Friday, but I couldn't help myself - the sun was shining, the sky was blue, the boyfriend was irresistible... Continue Reading →
Drinks with Al: would you drink ranch water?
I was spoilt rotten by my drinks escapades last week. It was a little slice of luxury after a long haul of illness. As you may have previously read, the festivities kicked off on Saturday night with a visit to a new bar in Newport called Sundial Tapas Restaurant. It’s an interesting concept – you...

Lots of farewell hugs
What a crazy week it’s been! House has gone home again after a brief return to magland, she’s sipped lots of cocktails at a fancy event, her sister has been bitten by a quokka and her daughter has gone camping in a swamp. It’s been so busy I didn’t get a chance to blog yesterday,... Continue Reading →
Not the end of it
Well of course the visit to the ENT yesterday wasn't the end of my ear issues. That's not how I roll. But I have a few more answers. It turns out that the treatment for my ear infections has given me ear thrush. I didn't even know ear thrush was a thing. Much like normal... Continue Reading →
Might as well jump
After two looooooong years, the youngest got her braces off yesterday. Her father made the appointment for 10.10am on a school/work day, then went on holidays to Western Australia. As it takes the youngest at least 90 minutes to get to school, there didn’t seem to be much point in her going. Also, I don't... Continue Reading →
Love and other bruises
Other than being stung all over my chest by a toxic caterpillar, my weekend was quite lovely. Busy, slightly painful, but lovely. The caterpillar dropped from a bush – I presume – and hit my face first before tumbling into my cleavage, leaving angry, red welts at every turn. Unsightly. Anyways, I had some new...

Can’t keep up
Hey there, I ran out of time to blog yesterday. It was quite the 24 hours, what with the Court of Appeal’s decision about the Kathleen Folbigg case and the youngest having her birthday teppanyaki dinner at the scruffiest Japanese restaurant in town, which she and her cousin James LOVE and insist on as their...

It won’t be boring
I have become my own health saga. It's getting a bit ridiculous. I went to the doctor yesterday to get the results of my CT scan and felt like I'd cheated on him. He said: "I see you went to the hospital last week." Er, yes, sorry ... He started rattling on about my ear... Continue Reading →
Time has officially flown
The youngest turned 15 yesterday. Blimey! How did that happen? She's her mother's daughter - she had a miserable start to her birthday too. The dreadful weather meant she was very late to a 9am maths test and was only given 10 minutes to do it even though she'd studied and knew all the answers.... Continue Reading →
