RJ was away for work a week or two ago. He came home with presents, which is always a winner. The first one was a lovely little magnet: And on presentation I asked only half jokingly, 'did you get this at the airport?'. He almost didn't give me the other gift [oops, sorry mate!]. I am a sucker for green tea and have about 15 different kinds on regular rotation. This he found in a little tea shop in Perth that is the only place in Oz to import it. Soursop is a big fruit … [Read more...]
Dinner for one
So everyone has that diner they eat when there is no one else around - no one to feed something from each of the food groups to, or appease with a steak, or impress with something complicated that was 'just a breeze to throw together'. It's that thing that you generally eat standing up at the counter, or wearing an ex's t-shirt in front of the TV, or even curled up in bed with the cat. Some hectic nights we resort to fried eggs on toast and I've been known to have cereal with frozen … [Read more...]
Sunday design
Last weekend I saw these at a market in the city: The company is called Red Dog Design - the rustic look appealed to my love of old things [I am most definitely a stone and wood girl a thousand times before concrete and steel, blame it on growing up in a 100 year old house], and the possibilities to my perpetually itchy travel feet. So my question to you is this, would you have a tower of the places you've been, or the ones you want to go to? And this little place, just a really cute … [Read more...]
Dirty magazines with lunch
Oh where to begin...and none of it is nearly as salacious as the title suggests, sorry! About a week ago I met with the business partner of a guy I used to work for years ago. I started a 4 week contract this past Monday...like riding a bicycle I tell ya. Good to work with this guy again though, and the agency seems to have some really good people. Some smart young'ens and others with a heap of industry miles under their belts - interesting mix and a pretty good vibe interjected by random … [Read more...]
Because we can, that’s why
Yesterday we boycotted responsibility. It was Saturday after all, but we even boycotted weekend responsibility. We did not do the grocery shopping or cleaning, or go house-hunting, or exercise, or do any work. We slept late - really late. And then went out for brunch. And then wandered across the city to a festival day type thing. And then sat on the grass and ignored what was playing on stage to talk to each other instead and soak up a gorgeous Sydney autumn day. And then made a nice dinner … [Read more...]
Stating the obvious?
I just got an email with this as the subject. So you tell me - is it a product description or a price offer.....or both... … [Read more...]
So I was on this bus…
This is really just one big inside joke, consider yourself warned. Everyone has in their lives those most unlikely of situations that render friends who will be around forever and memories that make you laugh out loud [way before the days of LOL] thinking about them years later. There is a video rocketing its way around the globe right now that is, first of all, just hysterical. Secondly, it reminds me of conversations that occurred regularly between twins [adult ones at that] while … [Read more...]
