    A picture says a thousand words… and all of them are important.

    Father and daughter, circa 1966 I’ve always been a huge fan of family photographs. They are important to me, something to treasure, especially of late. Certainly the boys will vouch for my love of the family snap; I will forever be that mother who insists we take one while we’re all together. “Can you just […]

    What I Know Now: August Edition…

    * We’re in the final week of winter, and I for one, cannot WAIT until the temperature rises so I don’t need a hot water bottle, flannelette pyjamas and the extra blanket on my bed just to stay warm! Quite the sexy mental picture I’m painting for you, I know, but needs must! Cold hands, […]

    Standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me…

    Circa 2000, sleep deprived and probably running on caffeine. Any mother will tell you, having children changes you. And I don’t mean financially or logistically although God knows those two things quickly become very apparent. I’m talking about that salient moment all mothers have when you know life will never be the same for you […]

    04/09: Music For Monday

    Well, hello Spring! One of my most favourite times of the year. It’s a lazy Saturday morning as I write this and the sun is finally out, the upshot of that meaning it’s warm enough to walk around without slippers on! I’m still in my pyjamas and about to launch into a picture-perfect breakfast of […]

    15/05: Music for Monday…

    Adult. It’s a word often used as a verb these days – adulting – a relative new entry in the vast lexicon of modern day language. It means to conduct oneself in a responsible, mature and correct manner. Adulting is all about being in charge, taking care of business, getting shit done, dotting i’s, crossing […]

    IT is the new black…

    I have a new appreciation today for anyone who is fully conversant in the language of IT. As in Information Technology. Computers. Take it from me, you’re all bloody amazing. IT brainiacs are the new black, people… the next big thing, the ducks NUTS. Because without them, our technologically charged lives cease to run the […]

    18/07: Music for Monday…

    I’ve been writing in one form or another for what seems like forever. For pleasure and as part of my job. The joy of the written word has always resonated strongly within me, fostered and encouraged by my beautiful mother, a voracious reader like myself. Fellow readers will understand and appreciate our devotion to the […]

    04/07: Music for Monday …

    I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember. Like forever. I literally cannot function without it taking up some part of my day. There is nothing else on the planet with the ability to get me smiling, moving, coping, thinking (or not-thinking, as the case might be) faster than time with a large […]

    Hello from the Other Side…

    Hello… it’s me. Adele references aside, I’m back from a very long and mostly unintentional hiatus from writing. Bless me Father for I have sinned… it’s been almost 6 months since I’ve posted something. No religious offence intended. But like misplacing your glasses or dropping your phone in the toilet these things sometimes just happen. […]

    07/12: Music for Monday…

    There’s something special about the idea of true love, isn’t there? Who doesn’t relish the thought of being swept off their feet? The inner dreamy, Piscean girl that I am is a huge fan of that notion and always has been. It’s a wonderful thought, that’s for sure. Gets me every time. Also possibly explains the […]
