the end was just the beginning
Things happened over the weekend that I haven't felt quite ready to talk about until now. Much easier to bury myself in celebrity fluff. Like the moment my dog Charlie trotted inside from the garden and dropped a piece of one of my murdered chooks at my feet ... bone, flesh, feathers ... That wasn't... Continue Reading →

OK, I'm preparing for the deluge from people bitching that I've got it soooooo wrong. But I swear, I See Fire by Ed Sheeran must be pretty damn close to the most beautiful song EVER (despite what my nephew said about it not suiting the movie it was written for, the latest Hobbit installment).Listen to it...

OK, confession, I'm not the romantic type. At. All. Flowers are wasted on me. Diamonds aren't my best friend. The last time Husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day was back in the Neolithic Age. And this happened (As originally told in Sucking The Romance Out Of Valentine's Day) We stopped celebrating Valentine’s Day after going... Continue Reading →
It's been a bit of a week so I'm bringing my weekly celeb round-up forward to give my exhausted pscyhe a rest. Here's a bit of fluff to brighten your (and my) Friday ... >> It's come to this - Jonas Brothers singer Kevin Jonas announced the birth of his newborn daughter Alena Rose with... Continue Reading →
I saw a movie this morning that gave me terrible flashbacks. It was about a creative prima donna. There have been WAY too many of those in my life. I am so over people who think their "genius" means they can act however they like and should be coddled for it. You know the types:... Continue Reading →
The youngest is turning 8 next month and wants to celebrate with a party at Macquarie Ice Rink. She's a bit obsessed with ice skating, despite getting limited opportunity to indulge her need for frozen speed. And whizzing around the rink on the Voyager of The Seas last month (hello? I know!) sealed the deal.... Continue Reading →
As the youngest sobbed in my arms over the loss of her chooks yesterday, Husband noticed something jump in her hair. He nabbed it surreptitiously and gave me a LOOK. "Flea?" I mouthed? "Nit?" he mouthed back. When the sobs had eased he slunk off to the bedroom to consult with Dr Google and returned... Continue Reading →
I'm still weeping as I write this. My beautiful feathered friends are gone. My heart is in pieces and I so desperately want it not to be true. Please let me go home this afternoon and discover it's some terrible prank. But I'll never again see their beady little eyes staring in my kitchen window... Continue Reading →
Flying to Melbourne for the weekend less than a week after getting home from our Northern NSW jaunt isn't the most genius planning we've ever done in the Household ... But it's worked out remarkably well. Melbourne is home to The Cousins and the eldest is a member of The Young Australian Broadway Chorus, who... Continue Reading →
