Monday night and I’m at the Opus Concert, a concert put on by the Department of Education to celebrate musical excellence in our public schools. Hugamuga was in the Chorale and it was a fine concert. Anyway I’m sitting there next to an older father who also has a daughter at Hugamuga’s school in his [...]
Fashion Victim
I’ve been feeling poorly over the last 24 hours. Vomiting. And I never vomit. In fact I reckon you can divide the world into vomiters and non-vomiters. Vomiting is much more stressful for a non-vomiter. Such a shock to the system. Anyway, it’s all been a bit bleah. Luckily I live with Groover who cheered [...]
I know posting about this is tantamount at waving a red flag at fate and saying “Yoo hoo! Over here! Time to break a fingernail!” but I don’t care. I’ve managed to grow my fingernails quite long and they’ve not broken all week, despite gardening on Sunday and I wanted a record.. Noice. By the [...]
If only it was just the breasts that put on weight. Don’t you love those lingerie ladies in the big department stores? Mine would have been in her mid fifties and an E cup she told me. I knew my old bra – a B cup push up – wasn’t really fitting all that well [...]
River asks following my last post: “What are rashies?” I wrote a reply in comments but since a picture really is a thousand words I thought I’d illustrate with a couple of pics. Now you’ll note that the children in this photo look quite young – that’ll be because these photos were taken in 2002 [...]
Average tits Slim waist OK tummy Big thighs Chunky calves Sounds attractive doesn’t it. Well Trinny and Susannah haven’t given up hope! Wide legged pants (check) Cropped fitted jackets with wide lapels (really?) Flared skirts to the knee or longer (hmmm) Low leg bathers???? My fellow skittles are Meryl Streep and Sharon Osborne. Well we’ll [...]
Today you find your correspondent at the hair salon washing that grey right out of her hair. I got up early to act as scorer at The Orchid Hunter’s cricket match. Four hours of morse code later (have you ever scored a cricket match? It’s all about dots, trust me), we lost and I [...]
Groover bought me two wigs for my birthday. What an awesome present! I love wearing wigs and up until now only had a blonde one to have fun with. I wore the black one to watch number one son play cricket yesterday and my friend said … how on earth did you have time to [...]
Groover has bought some new sandshoes. Or to be more accurate, I have bought him some new sandshoes. It had to be done. His last pair – note those stylish ones behind the gleaming new white ones – were bought in 1992. And he has worn them every year since. Sure he only puts them [...]
Still on public transport in Melbourne – I’ve caught a train and a tram now – it occurs to me that society wouldn’t function as well if it wasn’t for sunglasses. Sunglasses, especially those with reflective lenses, allow you to examine your fellow passengers without feeling self conscious or rude. Well perhaps a little self [...]
