    26/11: Music for Monday

    I am exhausted. I smell. And I’ve spent the last twenty minutes picking paint out of my hair. It was another huge day painting but, I’m happy to say, we are actually getting somewhere! All undercoating of house ceilings and walls is about 95% finished! We had dreadful humidity in ol’ Sydney town today (felt like […]

    You have GOT to be kidding me…

    It’s been said by someone (I have no idea whom) that if you have a son and you manage to keep him alive until the age of 25, you’ve done a good job. That person was clearly very smart. As a parent, I have been witness to many silly decisions made by my three sons […]

My youngest, 12 year-old H, is negotiating the entry into his teen years and the wilds of puberty. Mood swings have made their presence […]

    Dance like there’s nobody watching…

    The Ninja Boy is currently in his final year at primary school. He is my youngest child, teetering on the brink of teenage-dom. The remaining weeks of term are hurtling by at great speed, much faster I think, than either of us actually expected. Change is coming. BIG change. As a consequence there have been […]

    Music for Monday…

    Congratulate me, will you? Because this moment deserves a special mention. *impressive drum roll* I HAVE OFFICIALLY STARTED CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!! *mass applause* I’m feeling very self-righteous about my efforts – this is huge news for me, especially as it’s only early November! With special thanks to my Partner In Crime, today saw us hit the […]
