Yesterday was a not-my-favourite kind of day, but it had some nice bits. Let's start with the nice bits: I went to a Pump class in the morning and I had belated farewell lunch with two lovely former colleagues from my contracting gig. There was a lot of laughter and chitter chat. OK, that's the... Continue Reading →

I can't quite believe it, but DD's car had to be towed yesterday. I drove up to his place in a rental car on Sunday night, following my own towing incident, see yesterday's blog if you missed the news. I was eager to drown my sorrows in a roast dinner and rosé. But when we... Continue Reading →

I went to Clarence Correctional Centre in Grafton to visit my friend Kathy on Saturday. She moved there at the start of the year and I thought it was about time I checked out her new digs. Grafton is a very, very long way from Sydney, almost six and a half hours in a car.... Continue Reading →

OK, the drama quotient was slightly higher yesterday, starting at 6am when my wifi stopped working. I rang my internet provider every few hours throughout the day and got a slightly different explanation for why it was stuffed each time. There was a lot of shifting of blame to NBN, an easy target. I was... Continue Reading →

It's not going to last, but my drama-free streak continued yesterday. It was very relaxing. I woke to the sound of the rain absolutely pelting down, but it conveniently stopped so I could walk the dogs to the coffee shop for my strong, flat white. Then I went to a Pump class at the civilised... Continue Reading →

Yesterday started beautifully, sharing a coffee with DD on the Avalon headland. Confession: DD took the sunrise pic a few days earlier, as we slept in until 7am and missed it. Damn! No matter, it’s still the most lovely spot, wherever the sun is in the sky. I was meant to leave DD in peace... Continue Reading →

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 →

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 →

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...

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 →
