the end was just the beginning
Buckle up, it's been a crazy few days. Where do I start? Friday was the dizzy limit. I needed to get soooooo much done before an early afternoon flight to Melbourne for DD’s work Christmas party. I was frantically tapping away when I noticed Bilbo was acting strangely. I check him and my heart sank.... Continue Reading →
How's this for lovely? An old school friend drove down from the Central Coast on Sunday to give me a Tardis gingerbread house for Christmas! Talk about totally AWESOME! We drank cider and I met her quirky Steampunk 14-year-old daughter (and startled her with the gift of a mini watermelon ... I saw it at... Continue Reading →
I was in such a good mood last night ... until I came home and discovered the dog had unwrapped the Christmas presents under the tree and gnawed on them. Christmas wrapping paper confetti EVERYWHERE. Farking dog. Deep breaths. Tread carefully with your guffaws, as the incident has been banned from the funny list until... Continue Reading →
I've been wandering down memory lane since writing my blog about meeting the real Santa while we were living in New York.

You just know a day is going to be challenging when you wake up and discover the dog's upset stomach has done unspeakable things to the dining room carpet ("upset stomach" may be a euphemism).

How was your Chrissie? I was up at sparrow's fart - as usual - and was sure I'd be joined by an excited little person but she didn't struggle out. It was only when my mum and dad knocked at 7am (blow me down I never expected them to keep that promise) that the kids... Continue Reading →
OK, it's a little belated, but I couldn't resist sharing some celebrity Twitter pics from the festive season. I'm thinking the New Year's Eve snaps won't be quite so wholesome, especially for Ms Rihanna here ... Rihanna tweeted: "Santa baby! Hurry down the chimney tonight! Is it too late to be nice?" Tori Spelling wrote: "Merry Christmas &... Continue Reading →
How'd you fare in the gift stakes? I haven't opened mine yet, we're still wading through the excess that Santa delivered. Finding the perfect gift for loved ones is always a little fraught. And I find receiving even trickier, not being the naturally effusive type. Fortunately my relatives put a lot of thought and heart... Continue Reading →
Four years ago, I met the real Santa. He was at Santaland, in the Macy’s department store in New York. It had to be him - he had a real beard and everything. At the very least, it was an extremely close relative, like a brother or a nephew or a fifth cousin once removed. Sprog... Continue Reading →
