    Lovin’ Life 28/02/2019: Five Things.

    This week’s loves: A large iced latte, casually enjoyed as I wheeled my trolley around Woolies. The manicured greenery I encountered on the run I took immediately before enjoying that iced latte and trolley steering session above.  The places my running takes me often feel like different worlds connected merely by the strides I take…

  • Tuesday Recap.

    Tuesday Recap.

    I’m settling into the rattle and hum of the school term and all its routines.  The weather’s made it easier too.  When there’s the silent menace of rain in the air and fits of howling wind annoying the trees, it’s that much easier to stay in and get things done. My current favourite weekend breakfast…

    Life This Week 25/2/2019: My Favourite Decade.

    I won’t lie.  I’m a tragic for the music and fashion from past decades that many would prefer to forget. Except for my love for ABBA, all the best people have that one song from Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid embedded somewhere in their working memories.  The tune that will forever have a life-defining moment…

  • Sugar Republic, Sydney.

    Sugar Republic, Sydney.

    Sunday afternoon is often adventure time for Master SSG and I.  The weather is almost always on board and living up to the ‘sun’ in its name, it’s $2.50 all day public transport for me and $1.25 (I think) for him plus there’s almost always something going on in the city. Sugar Republic  is a ticketed exhibition…

  • Life This Week 18/2/019: Self Care, Share Your Story #1.

    Life This Week 18/2/019: Self Care, Share Your Story #1.

    This week’s topic of self-care couldn’t have come at a better time because I’ve had a great run of things.  I’ve discovered massive cracks in the paintwork of my house (old houses are charming fragile beauties), had a car accident on the way to my first day in a new role at work and because…

  • Hello Again, Heartbreak Hill. Filet-O-Fish DIY.

    Hello Again, Heartbreak Hill.  Filet-O-Fish DIY.

    It’s been a few weeks since I last caught up with my good friend, Heartbreak Hill. Truth be told. it didn’t particularly miss me while I’d been away rehabilitating my dodgy pelvis. I, on the other hand, was deliriously happy to be back.  So happy I ran myself a pretty good pace despite the heat. …

  • Lovin’ Life 14/2/2019: LEGO Cities by The Brickman at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.

    Lovin’ Life 14/2/2019: LEGO Cities by The Brickman at the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.

    A sunny Sunday morning earlier this month saw me visit the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park for the first time ever.  I was there with Master SSG to visit The Brickman’s Lego Cities exhibition. I am obviously one of those people who’ve been under a rock these last few years because the EQ is a…

    I’m Working More Hours A Week Now.  I Need A New Green Handbag.  Obviously.

    Well.  Hello there…. A select number of Master SSG’s ‘pets’ who got the day spa treatment in the front loader befor being hung out to air dry as part of my headless chicken laundry frenzy this weekend. I’ve (just) survived my first week of working four days a week since … forever.  To be honest,…

  • Life This Week 11/2/2019: My Worst Purchase….

    Life This Week 11/2/2019: My Worst Purchase….

    My worst purchase was that first Iced Latte from McCafe because it has fuelled an addiction that sees me planning my days around how I can work a side trip to a Maccas for my next fix. Some might say they’re too sweet, others question the quality of the espresso that is the heart of…

  • Lovin’ Life 7/2/2019: Top 5. The Smilie Faced Edition.

    Lovin’ Life 7/2/2019: Top 5.  The Smilie Faced Edition.

    This week’s Top 5 are a collection of photos that have made me smile these last couple of weeks. Finding this inflatable thong on the foreshore the morning after the night before’s Australia Day fireworks. Catching a glimpse of Eliza by Perth artist Tony Jones on the site of the old Crawley Baths on a morning…
