  • Really Early Mornings. The Weather Gets Bumped.

    Summer is a matter of weeks away.  It’s the scent of gardenias in the early morning that always gives it away.  I seem to have murdered my own gardenias but the neighbourhood’s hedges are so beautifully scented at the moment it makes my morning power waddles extra special. I’m a keen observer of the early…

  • I Should Have Called the Midwife First.

    I Should Have Called the Midwife First.

    Yesterday began with another one of those picture perfect mornings.  The kind where the sun bathes everything in the suburbs of Sydney with rays of light that bring a smile to everyone’s faces. It didn’t matter if you were spending your Saturday kicking back at a cafe or hard at work, you just knew that…

  • Letting the Pictures Do the Talking.

    Letting the Pictures Do the Talking.

    It’s nearly Friday and thank goodness for that.  Work has been busy and it’s amazing just how draining a day of meetings can be.  I’ve been non verbal all afternoon to recover and an only capable of communication via email and Word documents. All I feel like doing right now is kicking back and talking around some…

  • Iyara, Gladesville.

    Iyara, Gladesville.

    There are so many things to love about daylight saving.  For one, those extra hours of daylight at the end of the day make it so much more appealing to go out for dinner.  Even on a Sunday night.  My traditional night of having a long lie on the sofa (as are most nights of…

  • Idle Lavender Daydreams. A Bosisto’s Lavender Oil Giveaway.

    Idle Lavender Daydreams.  A Bosisto’s Lavender Oil Giveaway.

    I have a lavender bush in my front garden, just next to the letter box. Just walking past the purple flowers makes me feel like I’m the lady of the house in an English manor.  I get the post then walk across the lawn again (trudging across it as if I were wearing an English…

  • A Moveable Feast, Crave Sydney 2012.

    A Moveable Feast, Crave Sydney 2012.

    Yesterday was one of those busy Saturdays.  The kind where the entire day was accounted for but at the same time, the anticipated great weather made spending the night in seem like a bit of a waste. Which is how I came to make plans to head down to George Street for A Moveable Feast,…

  • Mock Mullet Skirts. Friday Happiness.

    I don’t know if you’d technically call this keeping up with fashion, but today was the day I finally acknowledged a recent high street trend and made it my own.  It’s been that kind of clothing year where it would be nice to say that I’d managed to reference one trend rather than none at…

  • Frocks. Bedding and Transport.

    Frocks.  Bedding and Transport.

    The sun outside my window at work had been taunting me all day.  It was calling me loudly through the swaying trees, imploring me to walk away from the office, down the stairs and out into the quadrangle near the coffee cart.  So I finally gave in and enjoyed every minute of it.  I could…

  • Goodbye Feet, Goodbye Makeup. Good Makeup Buys.

    Goodbye Feet, Goodbye Makeup.  Good Makeup Buys.

    Goodbye, feet. It’s been nice while it lasted and I look forward to seeing you again soon.  I know you’re still there, doing what you have to do so it won’t be a case of out of sight and out of mind. There’s been a lot of goodbyes (and good buys for that matter) these…

  • Around the House. Homage To Brynne.

    Around the House.  Homage To Brynne.

    I’m being a bit of a homebody today and pottering around, finding things that need to be done. I’ve addressed the snail situation in the She Shed with a generous dusting of snail pellets. A back log of winter knits got washed and hung out to dry in such a way that minimises them being…
