Earlier this week I found myself in Brisbane, waiting. For 6 hours, it turns out. I was prepared though. I had my camera, with new lens fitted and a plan to go for a wander. I dropped off my passenger and was in the city by 6:45am. Strolling through King Edward {I’m sure it was [...]

Today I was going to write a post about fr’enemies. But decided that the last thing I ever intended this blog to be was a place where negativity breeds. Then I was going to post some photos of an outfit I wore the other day. But I deleted the photos before I had imported them. [...]

Monday morning’s hold some appeal for me. A new week, a fresh start, all that jazz. Back to my routine, back in the swing of things. Weekends are great fun, but sort of all over the shop for me too. I like order. So I’m in my office, there’s been a delay and there is [...]

Yesterday at the shop I spoke to a man about my car. He asked me, as I waited for some fresh hot chips to cook, if it was mine. The good-looking car out the front. I said, well yes, I did. Pretty cool, right? He was an older man, maybe my Dad’s age. He was [...]

I have a mattress on the living room floor at the moment. I lay on my stomach, legs kicking in the air, fan pounding away as the air con churns on. It’s cool and lovely and makes me feel a little bit different about working. More casual. Laid back. For now, it works. Today I was [...]

Olivia, the wonderful, outdid herself this weekend. The A Plus Size Wardrobe event was fun and friendly and well, the food was pretty darn extraordinary. I am a little biased when it comes to great food and drink. I like it fresh and yummy and plentiful. And it was all that and more. Even when [...]

 I find it difficult sometimes to carry my camera around and use it. It was the reason I originally went to a compact SLR. I wanted it to be light weight, easy to handle and something I could pull out in public and not feel like a crazy blogger person whipping my giant camera out. [...]

The battle of the iPad. Otherwise known as lame first world problems.

July 25, 2012

Around here we don’t play well with others. We especially don’t share too well. I just don’t like other people touching my STUFF is commonly heard. It’s a movie quote, I think, but I’ve claimed it as my own. I think it comes from being an eldest child watching my much-loved collection of china dolls [...]

Big Foot. Big Mouth.

Most days I do ok. I don’t offend anyone. I say stuff, it goes well, etc etc. And then there are days {or night’s actually} like last night when my directness, my forward nature has me offend or hurt someone. It’s a fine line, I tell you. FINE. But last night instead of being direct [...]

The day my Mother almost ran me over. Otherwise known as today.

June 28, 2012

Today my Mother and I were on one of our real estate adventures in the rain. We were out taking photos of new listings that just could not wait any longer for a sunny day to have their photos taken. My shoes were wet and there was a squelch to my clothes. Photo-taking in the rain is fun. Not. [...]

Curse the rain.

June 28, 2012

The days are cold and wet around here at the moment. So cold that according to the weather outlook it will be warmer to be in Sydney than to stay here in sunny Queensland. Given that I feel like days of sunshine are few and far between you’ll forgive me if I scoff at the [...]

Fund-raising, fun times and freezing weather

June 12, 2012

Sunday I set off with 15 other pub crawl adventurers and my Mum {who was our bus driver} to Maryborough. We were in search for the thing they call the Worlds Greatest Pub Fest. A pub crawl to beat all pub crawls. I’d never been, despite living so close by for almost my entire life. [...]

Today did not go well, relationship wise.

June 5, 2012

I woke up this morning and it was cold. A bit too cold. I had work a little earlier than normal so I sent a text to my sister saying go back to bed, I can’t go to the gym today. She was pretty darn glad. It was cold after all. So I pulled the [...]
