Just when I thought I was over a bad dose of the flu, gale force winds arrived to whip everyone senseless around these parts, bringing with it enough pollen and god knows what else to send my nasal cavities straight into MEGA hay fever mode. Ugh. Just what I needed. I’ve spent the majority of […]
Huge rugby day yesterday. Massive. It’s the pointy end of the rugby season and Mr 14’s rugby team had made the semi-finals. The boys were well and truly pumped and raring to go. If I heard it once, I heard it several times on the field: ‘fire up, boys’ and fire up they most certainly did. The […]
You know those rare moments in life when events conspire to put you in the right place at the right time? YEAH. I had one such moment yesterday. I was watching M play rugby for his school at the same moment that the Bledisloe Cup Road Show arrived at the ground. It was there for […]
… but more specifically, those parents who use the ‘Kiss & Drop’ lane at my local school. I have seen some questionable and incredibly unsafe driving practices there lately. Despite being a patient and even-tempered driver, I have found myself tested to the limits of late! Source Just a few observations: 1. The actual […]
What a weekend. I need another two days to catch up on sleep. There was the usual rugby on Saturday and this week we were playing at a ground an hour’s drive away in the eastern suburbs. The weather wasn’t kind to us at all – winds were gale force and extremely icy, making life […]
Source Wellness has been uppermost in my mind this week. It teases like a sweet yet distant memory. Mainly because my own health (normally excellent) has been less than stellar since the weekend after catching a virulent dose of the flu my youngest son brought home from school. It’s been four days now and I […]
(Yes, I know it’s Tuesday but I was as sick as a dog yesterday. Could not even type, let alone focus on the screen. Felt bloody awful actually.) But what a difference 24 hours makes. Today I can actually stand up for more than two minutes without my legs becoming weak underneath me. I spent […]
Winners are grinners… and friends no matter what. Last night I went to a friend’s engagement party. The venue was awesome, a cool little hotel in The Rocks in Sydney, with the Harbour Bridge visible from the upstairs balcony. It’s been a while since I’ve gone out so I was really looking forward to […]
Source How do you define success at this Olympics? Is it primarily by the colour of the medal? Is it by the journey made to make the Olympics in the first place? Is it by the way athletes conduct themselves with the media, post-event? Or is it all of those things? In this country, we […]
For the next two weeks we’ll be glued to our TV screens watching sporting teams do battle at the London Olympics. And if you’re like me, probably cringing at the standard of the television commentary, haphazard as it is (Eddie McGuire, I’m looking at YOU). But for the athletes, four years of hard slog and […]
