Autumn Is Inevitable.
Autumn was always going to happen. As was the last weekend of the summer. The rain’s set in here in Sydney and it looks set to stay for a few days at least. Though things generally still look good on paper with sunny days ahead bringing maximums in the mid-twenties, those mid-twenties feel cooler than…

Life This Week 26/2/2018: Taking Stock.
Making : full use of this weather. Summer turning into autumn gives Sydney such a lively (for want of a better word) variety of weather and most of it takes place during long days of sun. It’s perfect for exploring the city and doing different things each weekend. I took this photo at the Museum of…

Hickies (the Shoelaces). Thoughts From Their Newest Fan.
80% of this post’s photos are of old pairs of trainers getting their shoelaces removed and inserted with Hickies (the shoelace alternative as opposed to the bruising of the neck) which is why I’ve opened with this completely unrelated image of a gathering of Chinese lanterns at the entrance of the Gateway food court. This…

Life This Week 19/2/2018: February Is…
February is the shortest month of the year but also one of the busiest for me as I attempt to ease back into real-world busyness after a couple of months mostly away from it. It’s hard not to be in denial about routine and efficiency when the last month of summer has been as (mostly)…

Lovin’ Life 15/2/2018: Surprise Staycation.
The weekend is a distant memory… but at least I have this little memento in my bathroom to remember it by. After several busy weekends, Master SSG and I took a break from getting things done and spent this last weekend exploring the city. It’s been more pleasant getting around on foot now that the…

The King’s Cross Saturday Farmer’s Market. The Pyrmont Bridge.
There’s a silver in every technology-related rain cloud. My shaky iPhone camera drama and the subsequent ‘they want how much for the new iPhones?!?!’ eyebrow raise have both made me dive into my spare things drawer in search of my DSLR. Miraculously, it’s in good working order and I still have all its lenses. Unfortunately, I have…

Life This Week 12/2/2018: Who’s A Worrier?
Me!!! My theory is that if it’s been worried over, it won’t happen. What if those pay per ride bikes people have taken to casually discarding on the footpaths where I live caused someone to trip over and hurt themselves? Or what if someone drove over a carelessly parked bike and ruined their vehicle’s transmission? …

I Am ‘That’ Friend. Meatballs.
It’s not that I like to blow my own trumpet or anything, but I reckon your friendship circle needs someone like me in it. Especially when it comes to taking your collective relationship to the next level with a group chat. I’m showing my age just acknowledging that group chats are an integral part of…
