  • Overtime News.

    Overtime News.

    Don’t you worry, I haven’t gone anywhere since Boxing Day.  Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my last post both on the blog as well as your tweets and messages.  It was great to read about how you’ve enjoyed being taken along on this crazy ride.  I think the real fun…

  • The Last 40 Weeks.

    The Last 40 Weeks.

    I had high hopes of looking back on the last 40 weeks of being pregnant and coming away from my reflections with some words of wisdom from which to conjure up a post for the blog.  And not just any kind of blog post, mind you.  It would be a post that perfectly encapsulated the…

  • Merry Christmas.

    Merry Christmas.

    It’s one of those days where a picture speaks a thousand words. Have a wonderful day filled with love and joy wherever you may be under this sky that we share.

  • The Holiday Season Wind Down.

    Reading through my blog posts from Decembers past, I realise how busy I usually am at this time of the  year.  My December posts have previously been full of travel, shopping, food and the constant refrain of my so looking forward to winding down my life from Christmas until New Years.  It’s been a little…

  • Fruity Friday. Fro Yo At Home With Chobani.

    Fruity Friday.  Fro Yo At Home With Chobani.

    Hello Friday, I’m so glad you’ve arrived and the world didn’t end today, after all.  Tomorrow being the weekend and all.  And let’s not forget that a little celebration called Christmas is happening this coming Tuesday.  For which I’m woefully underprepared. At this stage, Christmas lunch will be consisting of this half kilo bucket of…

  • Back Online. The Century, Pyrmont.

    Back Online.  The Century, Pyrmont.

    A skinny mocha, the one thing my Apple Genius couldn’t conjure up at Chatswood this morning. And just like that, I’m back online and fully wireless.  The Apple Genius at Chatswood Chase plugged every Apple item I own into his magical diagnostics machine, re did the partition on my external hard drive (whatever that means)…

  • Technical Issues.

    Technical Issues.

    Hello everyone, My MacBook appears to be having major issues with the Internet. It is going to be out of action for most of the week. I’m sitting here trying to blog from my iPad and it is heavy going indeed. So I guess things will be pretty quiet around here unless I have anything…

  • Single Digit Madness Has Commenced.

    Single Digit Madness Has Commenced.

    Well, it’s less than 10 days until quite a few key dates – Christmas, the end of my credit card billing cycle and … Baby SSG’s estimated due date / EDD.  In no particular order.  There’s no denying it but once I hit a single digit number of days in a count down, frenzied activity…

  • Sitting Around. Meatballs At Ikea. MakeUpMisers.

    Sitting Around.  Meatballs At Ikea.  MakeUpMisers.

    Sitting down with a cuppa and watching the world go by as I catch up on the news is officially my favourite way to pass the time these days. Brunch with added Gangnam style. Going paperless and reading the newspaper online has been liberating.  It’s been a few weeks since I made the switch and…

  • Our Hearts Are Broken.

    There are times when the world makes even less sense than usual. www.nydailynews.com It’s an ordinary Saturday morning here in Sydney, 10 days before Christmas.  The day ahead promises lots of lazing about with a few chores to punctuate the serenity.  Families are out together for brunch, the never ending plans for Christmas celebrations are…
