the end was just the beginning
I'm really crap at holding a grudge. Case in point: feckless Husband. But I do have a nemesis. And I discovered yesterday afternoon that we were going to the same travel function last night. I'd thought the only person I'd need to avoid at travel functions was Husband's you-know-what, since she used to be in... Continue Reading →
God I was a bore yesterday. It wasn't very fair on my dad, since it was supposed to be his special day, but I was dowwwwwwwn. I had to keep popping off to the bathroom for little sad moments. Eventually I dipped out early and went home so people wouldn't have to deal with my... Continue Reading →
How was your Father's Day? Mine was spent chowing on beer-can chicken with my Daddy-o. Here's how the Aussie stars celebrated ... Michael Klim: "Perfect way to spend Father's Day! Fun and games, happy kids couldn't ask for more. Thank you@seagypsea_photography for capturing the day. #underwater #fathersday #kids #bali" Delta Goodrem: "Happy Fathers Day to... Continue Reading →
Morning has dawned on our first Father's Day as a new sort of family: one where Dad lives somewhere else. The kids are remarkably fine with their new lives, I keep expecting the emotional shite to hit the fan, but they're coping pretty well so far. I've instructed Husband to be waiting outside his apartment... Continue Reading →
"Mum, we've found your [missing] glasses," the kids shouted triumphantly yesterday afternoon. "They were in the gutter!" The youngest held up a mangled piece of plastic. Ah. So, not only were they in the gutter, but I'd reversed over them. Comprehensively. I sighed and shrugged my shoulders. It's been that sort of year. Luckily,... Continue Reading →
I've felt quite powerless this week and I haven't liked it AT ALL. There hasn't been any hot water in my rental since Tuesday. This just wouldn't happen if I owned the bloody place. Husband or I would have organised for it to be fixed lickety split. Things don't work like that in rental properties.... Continue Reading →
My sister-in-law Deb tagged me in a Facebook challenge to reveal 10 books that have stayed with me in some way. The rules are: you can only take a few minutes to decide and they don't have to be great art. Now, while it's supposed to be a Facebook thingy, my blogging well has been... Continue Reading →
I may have mentioned a few million times how much I appreciate wit in a man. I'm also a bit of a sucker for musical talent.I've been educating the kids recently on the brilliance of a musician called Brendan Gallagher.He used to have a band called Karma County. They played at my wedding. Weddings weren't... Continue Reading →
It's funny the things that take my fancy. I've become obsessed with these bird sculptures made out of chicken wire that I spotted at an outdoor sculpture exhibition recently.They are weird and not particularly cheap but I must have them. Well, three of them, anyway. They're to symbolise myself and my girls (oh, and I... Continue Reading →
Having a well developed sense of irony, I spent yesterday afternoon dosed up on Codral (yes, I have a coldy thing now), lying on the couch, watching He's Just Not That Into You and fretting about my cervix.Don't you wish you were me?And I've decided several things.Colds suck. Codral rocks. I'm Gigi from He's Just... Continue Reading →
