Gotta love Sydney. Well I do. I guess it’s because I spent a couple of months at a critical age in this fair town… and because I consider Sydney to be to Perth’s somewhat brash teenage self an… Older, gay uncle?

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 [...]
