I got to do something pretty awesome this week ... if you're a food and whisky lover. I was invited to this ... It was the launch of Diageo’s 2023 Special Releases Single Malt Scotch Collection, at a very glamorous bar called Eau De Vie. The evening paired divine morsels of food with eight rare...

It's hard to describe how I felt when my friend Megz called and told me Craig Folbigg had passed away. Craig was Kathleen’s Folbigg’s ex husband. I never met him and I often wished Kath hadn’t either. I think Kath's lawyer Rhanee summed it up well when she said: "There were only two people on... Continue Reading →

I ran into one of DD's friends when I was walking the dogs yesterday morning. He's a whippet-thin vegan yoga fanatic and was looking fantastic at 7am, sipping his oatmilk piccolo with an exercise mat tucked under his arm.

I get to do some crazy stuff in my role as a booze news reporter, but last Thursday night was one of the wildest. After receiving zero invitations to events over the last few months, four landed in my inbox … all for February 22. One was for World Margarita Day, one was for the... Continue Reading →

I had a very awkward experience on the bus yesterday. It involved me carrying a satellite dish on public transport, as you do. The satellite dish belongs to a colleague who purchased it so he could work remotely while crossing the Nullarbor in a Kombi Van, as you do. And it's been gathering dust ever... Continue Reading →

My new reality hit me last night when I arrived home from work. The eldest was out, the youngest was in the middle of O Week and I was left to cook dinner for one while flicking through cruise brochures. After making excuses to myself for years about being too busy with parental duties to... Continue Reading →
