Connected to Connecticut!

It’s funny – you’d think after so many years of living abroad and travelling to so many different places the buzz would have to have worn off a little…
Except it hasn’t. I’ve found myself just laughing a lot of the last couple of days and just thinking to myself – OMG! I’m in America…
It possibly [...]

The count down is on…

So it’s not long now until we go overseas… Nearly eight months in the making!
Actually it’s only five big sleeps to go. To be honest I’m starting to have a slight melt down. I never realised there would be so much work to get organised before I left. It currently feels like I’ll need to [...]

House renovations!

Everything recently seems to be about renovating the house! The cost, the time factor or lack there of and not having anything in the house that is not covered in dust is really getting to me. I’d also like a bedroom that didn’t contain the contents of the whole entire house – that would be [...]

Swine Flu?

Since arriving back from overseas, I felt life had become boring and mundane and maybe it [...]

Home Alone – Friday Night Out…

It’s the life of the lonely to hang around bars and drink far too much.Too much to be able to take family rated photos, the only one being the broken toilet paper holder.May I say that I did not do it. I was seconded to help repair the damage, but unable to do much at [...]

I have a Valentine!

And look what they gave me!

Roses & Chocolates

No sunscreen – it’s gonna hurt!

Now who’d be this silly to end up looking like a lobster!The Australian sun is a harsh and relentless sun!A fun day on the beach can end in tears…

Home Alone – Heart attack on a plate…

I know. I know.Of course a good home cooked meal can’t be beaten, but on a Friday night…Cooking for one is just not going to happen.
Chicken, chips and pineapple fritters are made for each other and for me.
