A scary couple of days

by Cellobella on Friday, January 7, 2011 · 6 comments

So having played bridge all day at the apartment where the photo above was taken, I come home a bit hot and sweaty – it was so humid – and decided to have a quick shower. Groover was out at Kareoke for a friend’s birthday. So I get out my nice Chanel soapy stuff lather [...]

Tripping the light not-so fantastic

by Cellobella on Friday, October 15, 2010

  I love the Council House lightshow and when showing visitors around I will always point it out – if I’m near the city. The other day for instance I drove my eastern states colleague back to his hotel and driving past Kings Park I thought a little detour was in order. He made the [...]

A good vintage

by Cellobella on Thursday, October 7, 2010 · 2 comments

You can’t wear your vintage dress just anywhere in Perth you know. It would feel decidedly out of place (for me) in most places bar a fancy dress party and of course, Fremantle. Fremantle with its bohemian culture is a place where anything goes so I went. I only wish I had the white gloves [...]

Tunnel time for teen

by Cellobella on Monday, April 26, 2010 · 3 comments

My baby is thirteen and she is gorgeous. Today we went on the tunnel tour under Fremantle Prison, the largest convict built establishment in Australia. I think my girl was impressed that the jail was still in use when “I was alive”. In fact they closed the prison in 1991 and then had to wait [...]

Not what we mean by “hands free”

I think maybe this guy misunderstood what is meant by hands-free when using a mobile phone in the car… It’s the PHONE that’s supposed to be hands-free you dufuss!

The Art of Consipicuous Parenting

Have you ever heard a parent say in company: “Say ‘Thank you’.”  If the  parent’s voice is slightly louder than necessary – that’s conspicuous parenting. Take today. We were on our normal walk that we haven’t done for several weeks due to slackness. A young mother was blocking the path.   She was crouched down [...]

Flu preparation

by Cellobella on Friday, April 10, 2009 · 3 comments

I’m getting ready for Flu Season. I’ve booked in for a flu shot (April 30), free at my workplace. And I’ve made up my flu prevention essential oil mix… which is also nice to use if you have a cold or flu. I have great faith in my mix.  I use it all the time. [...]

A dinner for clever people

by Cellobella on Saturday, August 30, 2008 · 7 comments

Remember how we won that quiz nite way back in July? Well last night we used the prize – a $500 voucher at Lamonts in Cottesloe. Winners are grinners. This is another Kate Lamont restaurant to go with the East Perth posh dining and the more rustic fare in the Swan Valley. The business model [...]
