I shaved my legs today for the first time in about 3 months. To be honest, I probably could have gone for another 3 months, but I was geting excited at all this warm Sydney weather we’d been having lately. It was finally time to rid myself of winter hairiness and prepare myself for summer! … Continue reading
My friends would probably describe me as having a pretty thin skin. And I must admit, sometimes things people say really get to me. I don’t necessarily find negative feedback easy to take, particularly when it’s just flat out criticism rather than the constructive kind. But hey, it’s something I’m working on. And what better … Continue reading
Ciao! This post is coming at you (thanks to the wonders of automatic scheduling) from Sicily, where the hubby and I are currently celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Thank you, thank you, it’s been a tough ride, but we’ve made it. KIDDING. The toughest thing our marriage has been through this year is deciding … Continue reading

I traded in my bog standard, base model Ford Focus hatchback for a Mini Cooper S convertible. If car models mean … Continue reading
Book club (read: wine and gossip club over dinner with a minimum of two minutes discussion on the book of the month) this week surprised me. Not because of the subject matter (Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, which is a topic for a whole other blog post), but because of my friend’s response to a little … Continue reading
As I’ve mentioned before, I like to think that I’m relatively thoughtful. I was raised with a spirit of appreciation. I used to be thankful even for the smallest gesture, touched that someone thought enough of me to offer me a gift or do something for me. But I have recently realised that an important … Continue reading
I’m sitting on a sold out train from London to Norwich, and all I can hear are three things: the group of guys next to me debating the merits of various smartphones a kid screaming until it nearly vomits (oh wait – it just did) the kid’s mum Here are the various things I have … Continue reading
Ah, the simple lives of teenagers. While the adults of the world agonise over the meaning of their lives, all our teens want are a hot set of wheels and plastic surgery. Life is a lot simpler when you don’t have a mortgage to pay and your outlook doesn’t really stretch beyond next week. A … Continue reading
