the end was just the beginning
Yesterday involved me doing a pretty equal mix of stupid and awesome things. The stupid kicked off with buying the wrong charging cable for my new mobile phone. I backed it up by going to the coffee shop, grabbing a strong flat white and dropping it on the floor of my apartment building's carpark. Coffee... Continue Reading →
I walked the dogs yesterday in pre-dawn darkness, then raced home for a quick shower so I would be ready when the plumber arrived. He didn't. At 8.30am I rang the plumbing company and asked where the bloody hell he was. They said he'd been in the building since 7am. It turned out the retirees... Continue Reading →
Sugar Paws sends me two reminders before every grooming appointment - one a week before and one a day before - to ensure Charlie and Bilbo turn up. Actually, pretty much every appointment I make these days involves reminders or some sort of digital confirmation that I have booked. All except one. Last Friday night... Continue Reading →
DD has been suggesting for ages that it’s time to replace my mobile phone. My current one - an iphone 7 - is on its last legs. It will be 90% charged one minute, then 1% the next. I also take a lot of photos while wearing my many hats, so a good camera is... Continue Reading →
I am annoyed with myself. The pain in my glutes and thigh is creeping back and my inertia is to blame.

I was window shopping in Avalon a few weeks ago when I found myself strangely drawn to a pair of pants with a creased golden finish. I went inside and asked what sizes they came in. The shop assistant said “they’re one size fits all”. I was intrigued. I tried them on and felt fabulous.... Continue Reading →
I had an after-work drink with my workmates last night to farewell a contractor who worked with us during Vivid Sydney. We went to Hart’s Pub in The Rock’s, which is just a few blocks away from the office. I have walked past it many times and never properly noticed the craft brewery, which is... Continue Reading →
I've decided that spending a few hours with DD twice a week isn't enough. So I am going to work from his place one day each week. I did a test run yesterday and it was lovely. On Sunday afternoon we read the papers together, watched a few travel videos on YouTube and went to... Continue Reading →
How was your weekend? Mine was very wet. The drive to drop off furniture for the youngest's first share house was super stressful. I couldn't see properly out of the rear vision mirror due to all the stuff in the back of the car and the rain was teeming down. There were moments that I... Continue Reading →
How is it Friday already? Where has the week, the month, the year gone? Well, it's not a totally bad thing that the month went so fast, as DD was away for all of it on his epic business trip. I really need to show you some more of his bleisure photos when I get... Continue Reading →
