Life is spinning out of control with days whizzing by so apologies for the lack of post yesterday. Although the first rule of blogging is never apologise for not blogging because it's annoying and who cares? Well I DO. So, I'm sorry. I know people get annoyed when my posts are later in the day … [Read more...]

Yesterday I found myself in the fortunate position of driving up to Sydney for lunch with some old friends of mine from my days of finance. I had a great trip up on a picture perfect winters day. I was lucky enough to get an early check in to our room where I sat and soaked up the silence before the … [Read more...]

Today felt like the first normal home day I have had in weeks. And I guess it has been - with me getting sick and then recovering and then going away. The sun was shining. I had a long list of stuff to get done and I'm happy to report as the sun slips down over the trees in the yard that I got ALL … [Read more...]

We have finally hit our holiday straps (of course on the last day). The girls, while annoying and frustratingly needy, they seemed to understand that our threats might lead to something. We ate out three times and we didn't leave once! WINNING. I enjoyed a celebrity moment in Sterling thanks to the … [Read more...]

4.35am is an early start for anyone. Throw in two kids who have been looking forward to going on a plane for weeeeks and it seems even earlier.

Yesterday because I was meant to be taking it easy, I walked into Daisy's room and suddenly everything looked crazy and out of order and messy and exactly like a 5 year old's bedroom should look. It just wouldn't do. I immediately set to work on her bookcase - ordering and neatening it up until it … [Read more...]

So. I'm home. Back in bed with one less organ in my body. I feel a little sad about that organ, my little sack of bile who had been with me since the beginning. But, I daresay there is a lesson in this for all my organs. You mess up? You cause me pain? You're not really necessary for day to day life … [Read more...]

Yesterday morning my Mum called me early with some bad news - my beautiful brother in law (the chef … [Read more...]

I was driving home from the library this morning with Harper in the back reading to herself in her non stop 2 year old chatter when I heard the news about Azaria Chamberlain. That a coroner has found, 32 years later, that it was in fact a Dingo that took and killed that small baby girl. It's hard to … [Read more...]
