When I called the urologist yesterday to get the results of my ultrasound and book my hospital procedure, the nurse freaked me. She said the doctor needed to call me to discuss the results of the ultrasound before she could organise my hospital visit. I can’t remember her exact words, but the implication was that...

When DD and I went on our Vivid cruise last week, I was filled with knowledge about the installations, but a bit blase about the view. If you write about something for months and edit endless images of it, it loses a bit of its magic. But, when I posted this drone video from the... Continue Reading →

I was very, very jealous, as I have a bit of a girl crush on Albo. It's even bigger than... Continue Reading →

I dropped off the map for longer than expected this week due to catching a lurgy. I have been very, very not well. I felt it coming on after I left my Vivid Sydney shift at 11.30pm on Monday night. I have done five RAT tests, all negative. I thought it was the flu and... Continue Reading →

I find it oddly moving when I come home on a Sunday night and find my ex-husband has put my bins out. As I turn into my driveway and see the wheelie bins sitting on the curb, I feel touched that he still cares enough for me to wheel them out to the nature strip.... Continue Reading →
