Phew. Friday! I’ve had something on, to do, or due in some way, shape or form every single night this week. Weekend, here I come! I am not someone who likes to be busy at all. This week felt long. Then I realised this month has felt long. But both have gone fast. […]

Laugh Link: The Big Bang
This past week, I was doing some house-feeding and cat-sitting while some family were away on holiday. I did resent that they had a holiday, but made up for it by stealing this sauce from their fridge: But sesame sauce doesn’t have anything do with the Big Bang, as far as I recall […]
What I Loved: First Edition
Happy Sunday, all! Welcome to the first edition of What I Loved. I was thinking about what to post on weekends recently and I though it would be nice, if not all that original, to have a bit of a wrap up of the week. I’m not really sure where this series will go as […]
Set The Standard, Not The Rules
I don’t do well with “have to”. I never have. In fact, telling me I have to do something is the best way to make sure I don’t do it. That’s how I got kicked out of religion class at Catholic School for not meditating! I prefer to learn by example and as such, I prefer […]
Birthday Emails
It’s a sign of the world we live in that the only way I knew my birthday was coming up was when I started getting those happy birthday emails from loyalty programs. These offer to let me eat or drink for free if I bring a bunch of other suckers along to spend their money. […]
Finding My Bliss
We all need some kind of time out. It varies from person to person as to what that means, but I was thinking about it recently and decided that it was all about finding my bliss. Your bliss can be anything – empty beach, good book, great restaurant and really anything on any spectrum […]
Fricking Laser Beams: Laugh Link
I am generally a kind & supportive person in all aspects of my life. So when my sister in law needed me to take her to the P&O ship (boat?) Pacific Dawn on the weekend, I obliged. Family and all that, right? This is her first overseas trip. A huge milestone! Naturally we […]
2014 Brisbane Good Food & Wine Show
Disclosure: I was offered a media pass with the giveaway I ran for this event. As always, all opinions are my own. First things first: I will freely admit that it is crappy to go to a Food and WINE show when you can’t drink. Damn unplanned wisdom tooth extraction! I have actually been wanting […]
Cooking Day
Today I decided to catch up on some of my bulk cooking. On the menu were hard boiled eggs, beef chilli, blueberry muffins and chicken stock. The hard boiled eggs were a late addition, mostly driven by me trying to find soft foods to eat after my wisdom tooth extraction yesterday. I was playing […]
Unexpected Dentist Day
Today was one of those days. We started out at our GP to get test results. I was collecting x-ray results of my jaw (TMJ) to see if that was anything to do with the recurring pain I had been having throughout two months of sinus infections and unspecified viruses was related. FYI – […]
