It should be expected right? So why am I always surprised when the sun sets earlier in winter? I think it must be that it seems to happen so quickly. One minute it’s light til 7.30, the next, missing just one train has me walking home in the dark. Still. I no complain. I like [...]

Today on the Fremantle line, we got to City West when the train driver said ”A fire alarm has activated in the Perth station and you need to de-train here and walk into the city.” We all got off the train and watched as our driver bravely took off into the inferno that wasn’t the [...]

Warning: Rant alert A foggy morning. The rain splattered against the skylight in my bathroom so I knew it was raining. Raining! Deep happiness. I walk into my bedroom to get changed and I can hear this weird rushing sound. I check to see if the overhead fan is on… or maybe the reverse cycle [...]
Oh yeah baby! That’s me on the back of a Vespa about to scoot through the streets of Perth with TFB. You don’t know TFB? Let me just say that the T stands for The and the F stands for Fabulous. ’nuff said. We are co-training a course and after today’s sessions we decamped with [...]
I had to drive my car into work the other day and on the way home got stuck in traffic. I’ve been stuck in much worse traffic. But it was just so irritating. Especially because I hadn’t wanted to drive in case I got stuck in traffic. Probably need to drive tomorrow… unless… Groover? Are [...]
I’ve been known to slag off Perth Airport from time to time but on arrival last Monday I felt so welcomed that I have only praise. I know. I can’t quite believe it either. I only took carry-on – which in itself is quite impressive for a four day weekend, plus conference, plus dinner dance [...]
The late afternoon sun came through the graffiti on the way home yesterday and I really noticed it. This morning, as I write this on my way to work the glass is gleaming and clear. What a difference. It makes me wonder whether they put some sort of covering on the glass that they can [...]
So the other day I was about to leave for class when I noticed that my toe nail polish was, really, unacceptably chipped. It was too late to do anything about it so instead I popped my swisspers (premoistened nail polish removal pads) into my bag and left. On the train with no book to [...]
Another incident stopped the trains last night, well, stopped the Fremantle line, and this time I was on the train. The train stopped about 25 m shy of the Karrakatta platform. The driver’s voice came over the PA – “Passengers. There has been an incident and the train will be stopped for a while. Please [...]
You can tell it has been a dry winter when I’m blogging OMG it’s raining posts. OMG it’s raining! No really. It is. It is sooooo nice to see the rainwashed pavements, to see the thundercloud gloom spread through the big picture windows of the office. Yes I have raised the blind to let in [...]
