Oh I know we need the rain but there is something glorious about Perth when the winter sun shines across a barely populated beach. When the sky is bluer than a summer’s day, uncluttered by leaves and verdant green. Sure it’s a bit chilly in the morning, but the light my friend, the light! I [...]
Work
The last thing I do before leaving home every morning is fill my coffee cup for the drive to work. I love my coffee machine. If Groover and I ever split up I think custody of the coffee machine might be a contentious issue. And today I’m back at work. I’m not unhappy about it. [...]
Yesterday Santa came to work to wish me a merry Christmas. I had been a VERY good girl indeed and was given a bottle of Amberley Shiraz. I felt like drinking it straight-away but that isn’t the behaviour of a very good girl is it? *warning… rant ahead. This Christmas has been stressful. I find [...]
Isn’t it interesting that when you let go of something, the something happens! I’ve been appointed to the job I’ve been doing for the last year (after acting for two years in a similar position the years before). My boss wrote a lovely affirming email and sent it to my colleagues and today has been [...]
I read/heard recently (now who said it – was it Gerry Ryan?) is a very surprised woman. I love that line… but I digress. At the moment in Redsultanaland we are going through a bit of change – Groover is leaving his last job to go into business with a mate. Yes I do know [...]
I nearly wet my pants when I saw this guy outside my window! He and a mate were cleaning the windows at work on these dinky little swing things – very athletically it must be said. But I must say I did feel a little exposed. btw – that little cone thing in the foreground [...]
I’ve come to a fashion decision. Well, it’s not so much a fashion decision as a clothes decision. A practical, “Bloody hell! Nothing to wear again!” decision. I’ve decided I’m going to give up on separates for work and instead buy five dresses which will end up being my uniform. Okay five to start [...]
My boy started his first job today. Yes. A proper job requiring a bank account, commitment and well… work. He’s doing the paper round. He’s being paid 10 cents a paper and delivering about 130 papers. He has 24 hours to deliver them. So far he’s done half and spent nearly two hours doing it. [...]
Warning: Rant ahead. What is it with young people these days? Do none of them learn to drive properly? Twice this year so far I’ve come up against people – both in their early 20s – who can’t drive the work car because they don’t know how to drive a manual. When I was a [...]
I drove past the new buildings at Christchurch Grammar School the other day and took this photo – quickly because of course the lights turned green as I was getting my camera out. I hadn’t really looked too closely before but the lights were on in the upstairs classroom and I could see a student [...]
