    A Sentence (or Two) A Day: August 2018

    The August 2018 edition of A Sentence (or Two) A Day inspired by Jo Tracey’s Sentence A Day posts that she does on a monthly basis. It’s my birthday month!  I can already see that it’s going to rapidly unravel into a month of self gifting. Said goodbye to my mum and aunty today as they head…

  • Lovin’ Life 30/8/2018: Hard Boiled Eggs.

    via Google images They’re not currently recognised as a superfood and to my knowledge no celebrity or influencer is currently endorsing them but I am loving hard boiled eggs right now.  I have a couple for lunch as well as an energy bar and some fruit a during the week when it’s all too hard…

    Kit Kat Gold.  Behind the Counter Goods.

    I blame you, Christian Hull. Discerning readers, behold the magnificence of Kit Kat Gold.  Don’t those fingers of caramel infused white chocolate look just a bit like bars of gold? I’m not normally a white chocolate fan nor do I normally go out of my way to try new Kit Kat varieties but when Christian…

    Life This Week 27/8/2018: Share Your Snaps and Screenshots (and Thoughts).

    It’s been one of those nose to the grindstone kind of weeks for me.  I haven’t had time to smell those proverbial roses.  Just as well I’ve got photos and screenshots from the week that was to remind me that life went on beyond the little vacuum that my life can sometimes become when work…

    Lovin’ Life 23/8/2018: This Weather, We’re Loving It.

    My excitement for spring is building with each of these August weekends that pass.  It’s this weather. I can’t get enough of it. The bare branches overhead don’t look so bleak now that they’re framed by blue and dare I say it, warmish skies. It’s a lovely time the year to be a morning person.…

  • Life This Week 20/8/2018: My Hairstyle History.

    My hair in pictures (of things that mostly aren’t human hair).  All of which (the pictures) are courtesy of Google Images unless otherwise stated. I have lots of hair and in its natural state, it has the texture and appearance of steel wool. via Google images Only it’s rarely ever as tidy as a new…

    Bioscanned. Everlane’s V Heel, Among Other Things.

    It’s amazing what a computer can tell you about yourself by just having you stand on some scales and hold onto a couple of paddles…. A local gym was canvassing the locals on the street last week and I ended up getting talked into a free Bioscan measurement.  It probably wasn’t the brightest idea booking…

  • Lovin’ Life 16/8/2018: Golden Syrup Apple Dumplings.

    Lovin’ Life 16/8/2018: Golden Syrup Apple Dumplings.

    Store bought fancy, glossy, creamy cakes have their place on Instagram and in our eyes but when my heart wants dessert?  It wants hearty, buttery and homemade. Preferably served with a rustic, imperfect scoop of supermarket vanilla ice cream. Master SSG and I made Golden Syrup Apple Dumplings over the weekend using an oven recipe…

  • My #C2Surf Debut. My Birthday Weekend Continued.

    My #C2Surf Debut.  My Birthday Weekend Continued.

    Well.  Anyone would think from reading my blog lately that I’m the only person in Sydney who ran the City 2 Surf for the first time this year.   Preparation has taken up such a high proportion of my free time that it’s perhaps unsurprising I’ve been carrying on like a diva in activewear (never thought…

  • My Birthday Weekend So Far.

    My Birthday Weekend So Far.

    I couldn’t have asked for better weather for my birthday weekend. The babycinos were just as chuffed. It’s race day today and the ‘hood is preparing itself.  The banners have been up for the last fortnight and it looks like a band or two will be performing on the the terrace of the local pub.…
