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...]
Make good?
So I have a cousin that sends cards for every occasion. Not only remembers, but sends cards – without fail, for holidays, birthdays and even anniversaries. Must be hereditary as her mother is exactly the same. She even sent me an email to apologize for sending Christmas cards late this year, it still arrived before New Years…..I knew there was something I meant to do in December…. I on the other hand am about as good with cards as I am with emails. I think about it, have the best … [Read more...]
Playing Tourist
Humm, a bit screwy with the timeliness but I'm going to flash back on the past few weeks. Mom came to visit Sydney for the first time in 6 ½ years – fair enough, for most of that we were either living in NYC or making the trip to America-land about every 6 months... It was great to have her here and, as I’d imagine is the case for most people, I really don’t get the chance to play tourist in my own city until company comes [and honesty, we are really bloody far from anything so not many people … [Read more...]

What else was cooking at Christmas…
January is a big month for lots of friends [apparently April was too…yep, a bit wicked, but funny in that shouldn’t laugh but can’t help letting out a chuckle kind of way]. So far we have had friends in Pennsylvania give birth to a baby girl, found out that an old friend just adopted a baby boy in Florida, have friends in NY and Sydney and Germany due to pop any day [with a boy and two girls respectively]… and the bub cooking at Christmas, the only one that was still a surprise on what it would … [Read more...]
Food, glorious food
So, cooking takes much longer when snapping photos along the way - and I was told by RJ on x-mas day that I was acting like a tourist - but you know what, it makes me drool looking back at the pics! You may want to have a snack nearby just in case... Stuffing and Candied Sweet Potatoes to start the feast. The Stuffing actually fell in the 'aligned with the detox' category. Def doesn't negate all the other dishes but hey, close enough for x-mas! [yes, detox over Christmas, slightly insane, … [Read more...]
