    Lovin’ Life 24/9/2020 :  The Week In Highlights.

    Highlights of the week just gone… We’ve made it to end of term three!  A fortnight off homework, the practice of various things, ironing and lunches beckons. I’ve submitted my tax stuff to the accountant.  So I’ve not completed my tax return, technically, but I’ve done all that I need to towards its completion.  My…

    Life This Week 21/9/2020: Grateful For This…..

    This week, I’m grateful for the burst of fabulous spring weather.  The timing has been perfect, I think.  It’s been a long year and we all need a hug.  In these times of social distancing, however, hugs are mostly out of the question.  Which is why I think Sydney has been sent all this glorious…

    Lovin’ Life 17/9/2020: Hair and Beauty In the Time Of Covid.

    Hair and makeup have taken a back seat (way, way out back if I’m to be perfectly honest) in these Covid times.  In some ways it’s been liberating.  Gettting ready for work takes about 5 minutes from go to woah (confession… I always thought it was ‘from woe to go’…).  There’s never fear of anything…

  • Life This Week 14/9/2020: Happy Snaps.

    Life This Week 14/9/2020: Happy Snaps.

    Things that have made me smile this week: The bright orange lollipop person sign and witch’s hat down the end of my street.  Extensive tree pruning has been taking place in order to facilitate the replacement of a power generator (!!) near the park.  Predictably, there’s been chaos for the local traffic but the signs…

  • Lovin’ Life 10/9/2020: The Air Fryer Has Landed.

    Lovin’ Life 10/9/2020: The Air Fryer Has Landed.

    We’re in the thick of Disney Ooshie collecting right now. Which is all the justification I needed to purchase the famous $49 Woolies Air Fryer. I managed to get the last one on the shelf at my local Woolies. Master SSG was taken aback to find me watching a YouTube unboxing featuring the Air Fryer. …

  • LIfe This Week 7/9/2020: Taking Stock

    LIfe This Week 7/9/2020: Taking Stock

    Making: the best of yet another sick day from work.  Lots of reading, a bit of housework.  Fingers crossed we’ll all be disease free for the rest of the year. Cooking: Swedish meatballs and cauli/broccoli mash!  Another Recipe Tin Eats recipe that’s a complete winner. Drinking: diet San Pellegrino.  It’s not for me as is.  I…

    Lovin’ Life 3/9/2020: Audible….

    I finally took advantage of my Audible credits a few weeks ago.  It was actually quite difficult trying to decide which books to download.   I’m the kind of reader who creates a fixed vision of how characters should ‘sound’ and ‘feel’ in the fiction that I read.  Predictably, this sees me avoid most film and…

  • A Sentence (Or Two) A Day: August 2020.

    A Sentence (Or Two) A Day: August 2020.

    The last month of winter, another year older, a hint of that glorious spring-summer weather I live for. Days like this… sun, wonderful friends.  They make all those cares go away. Did my bit and wore that face mask to Woolies. Pressing ‘SEND’ and hoping for the best. Nothing like a new Taylor Swift album…
