the end was just the beginning
I have murder on my mind. I'm anti-guns, and knives give me the heebie-jeebies ... so I've resorted to chucking lemons out the window at the bloody brush turkeys. It hasn't been terribly effective, because I'm a hopeless shot. When the sun rises I'll have to troop out and retrieve them all. I've had an... Continue Reading →
During the wake for Husband's grandfather yesterday, I started chatting to the most lovely girl called Jackie. Jackie is married to one of Husband's cousins. Husband only has two cousins - they're twins. I first met the twins, or the twinnies as they were known back then, when they were around seven. I was invited... Continue Reading →
Apologies, not the full box and dice gossip today, just a quickie version as I am in Forbes on in iPad. But I've managed to find enough fun stuff (and a poignant one to kick things off) to make things interesting on a Monday morning. The bits that didn't make it - Elle macpherson got...

I spent a large part of this week weeping over my keyboard, both at work and home. The home breakdown was caused by my husband leaving my rabbit loose in the house for a day - he destroyed almost every electrical cable in the place ... including the one to my computer. Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh .... But... Continue Reading →

OK, this story is a bit infamous in my world. So forgive me if you've already heard it. It even featured in the groom's wedding speech when my sister tied the knot. The essence of it was that I had met his biggest crush - other than my sister - Kylie Minogue, and she was... Continue Reading →
I cried buckets last night. Between each gulping sob I dialed my Husband's number. Maybe 20 or 30 times. Willing him to pick up. No answer. Probably for the best, as I might have said things I'd regret. By the time he returned my calls half an hour later I'd calmed down enough to merely... Continue Reading →
I got my hair coloured yesterday afternoon. As I lay back having my hair washed afterwards, the handsome young assistant gave me a luxurious, slow, sensuous head massage.And you know what I thought, as my nails bit into the leatherette of the chair and my teeth clenched ... JUST FARKING HURRY UP!I didn't say it... Continue Reading →
I write this blog with a heavy heart. My husband's great grandfather has passed away. He was 94 and he'd had a good life. But it still makes me unbearably sad. I ache for his daughter, who was sitting by his bedside reading to him when he died and is bereft. I ache for his... Continue Reading →
Things got all Marathon Man-y for me last week during a visit to the dentist. In my younger flush days I went to a lovely bloke in Paddington who pumped me full of laughing gas before he got to work. These budget years we go en-masse as a family to the medical-fund-run dental centre. Shudder.... Continue Reading →
