I forgot to breathe in October… something about being away all summer, then literally just playing catch up all September and October. No breathing, just drowning, racing, gasping for air – and then I stopped for coffee and it was all good again. But that was last month… I...

Aussie expats seem to move in small circles. I feel like wherever I’ve lived (I mean outside of Australia of course), I seem to gravitate towards fellow Australians, and then through them, I meet more crazy Aussies! This is a good thing, oh, except then we all reminisce and...

When you run out of things to say to someone, the inevitable question is always, “so where are you headed for the summer holidays?”. However, I swear, if I do ask you that question, I’ve NOT run out of things to say to you! I’m genuinely interested. Because I...

I often procrastinate about doing something, and then, when I finally get to do it, it has to be TODAY, or ok, tomorrow! This was the case for me looking at workshops on modern calligraphy. I looked for months. Then all of a sudden, it just had to be done!...

I just love stationery! Strangely though, I am always short on pens, staplers, pencils and erasers at home. Weirdly, my...

Many years ago, whilst living in London, footloose and fancy free without kids (we call those times BC, i.e. “Before Children”), the Man and I discovered this little hidden gem, surreptitiously tucked away in a wee, cobbled lane in Soho – strictly two persons walking abreast. Needless to say,...

So, The Man came home last night at 0230, that’s 02:30am for the 24-hour clock challenged people. (I must admit, I can be 24-hour clock challenged before my caffeine hit each morning.) Therefore, I got little to no sleep as once I’m up, I’m up! And today we are hitting...
