It would be very tempting to hate men at the moment, but they've made it bloody difficult by being so goddamn nice to me. I was expecting women to rally around with tea and sympathy. The blokes, on the other hand, have taken me completely by surprise. And it's not because they want to play... Continue Reading →

I bought Husband two tickets to the St George OpenAir cinema at Mrs Macquarie's Chair for Christmas. As anyone who has tried to buy tickets to the OpenAir cinema will tell you, that's about as easy as a camel going through the eye of a needle. Especially when you forget to log on until 24...

Ooops. Sorry about the no-blog thing yesterday. I got myself all confused and thought it was Valentine's Day so I was going to write a "Valentine's Day 2014 Celebrity Style" blog ... and couldn't understand why none of the celebs were posting romantic pics on social media.
