So I am in Brisbane at the moment. My last night in fact and tonight, when I got back to my room and headed straight for the bathroom I sighed with contentment when I noticed the message from the cleaner: Whenever I see the little folded triangles it’s like the cleaner has left a little [...]

So you know I’ve recently bought a ukulele – “oh I so admire how you throw yourself at things” a friend observed. Hmmm. Well I do try things… but do I stick to them… not so much. (well apart from the organisation I work for… 22 years!) Here’s the list of short courses/hobbies that I can remember [...]
Oh I know darlings! Enough said right? I mean I don’t even defrost my OWN fridge so what the hell am I doing, the floors strewn with towels, trying to dislodge the wedged in drawers of my parents’ fridge? Good daughter things. That’s what I’m doing. Luckily it is quite warm so the fridge is [...]
I know that I take a lot of photos of flowers. I’m a sucker for hitting my macro switch and stopping to photograph – and even sometimes smell – the roses. You know how it is, you’re walking to the train or the shops and you have your camera. Well that’s me. I loved these [...]

Firstly the physical act of pulling out a plant is satisfying. It’s like you are removing all the imperfections of your own life. Take that [...]

Most nights, unless I’m at bridge, at some point I will be on the couch. This couch in particular. (not the Alpha couch) Wearing this same fleece. In fact I’m wearing it now. Oh and those ugg boots, now with an interesting nail polish stripe across one toe. Which yes, I am also wearing as [...]
For some reason tonight it feels like the long dark teatime of the soul. Sunday night. Work tomorrow. The end of a weekend. I played Theatresports tonight and even that didn’t help – and sorry guys – I was crap. I guess I’m not that good enough of an actor to fake how I feel [...]
