Not sponsored Last night we went to the Lend Lease Darling Quarter Theatre in Darling Harbour to a function for Rob’s work. They are a huge sponsor of the Starlight Foundation and there was a production at the theatre about inspirational stories of people who’ve been touched by the magnificent work …
I can’t bake. I like cooking but I don’t bake cakes, biscuits, slices or anything sweet apart from Pavlova and especially nothing involving pastry. I’m frightened of pastry. I can make packet cakes if they are just the ones where you add a couple of eggs and some oil and …
I swear there is something wrong with me. Actually I know there is, that’s well established both clinically and socially but when it comes to food there is ABSOLUTELY without doubt a very large and significant defect. Anyone who knows me or who follows my Facebook page will know that …
I’m sorry if I’ve lured you here in the hope you’d see me nude and all Miley Cyrus-esque on a wrecking ball (what a frightening thought) .. but alas, no. I have vivid childhood memories of how angry my parents used to get when my siblings and I broke or …
Each week I post a blog of my week in 7 photos. All photos taken on iPhone 5.
Every week (well not every week, I’ve been a bit slack since I moved to Sydney) I post a blog of my week in 7 photos. All photos taken on iPhone 5.
Yesterday I was in the car with my kids and out of the blue Luca said to me … “Mum, why don’t you have a job?”. In an instant the hair stood up on the back of my neck. All bristle like. So I said, “I do have a job, I …
Today I ran the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival half marathon. Not only was it a perfectly blue and warm spring day but it was a beautiful course starting at the Harbour Bridge and finishing at the Opera House 21km later … but best of all I ran my personal best …
Sometimes I look at the state of the toilet in my kids bathroom and I wonder “how the hell did they even do that? Is it physically possible?” Boys are disgusting. Mine are only aged 6, 4 and 2 and already my house has taken on the scent of a …
For a very long time I used to post my week in photos every sunday. I stopped doing it when we left London because after snapping away iconic London landmarks and my travels around Europe I figured photos of my daily grind on Sydney’s Lower North Shore would seem rather …
I’m pretty darned good at embarrassing myself in public. I’ve blogged about it before, here and here and here. As you know, I run a lot. My favourite Sydney run so far is through Lane Cove National Park. Starting at the Lady Game Drive gate and running up to Lane …
Even though I’d much rather be living in London than Sydney, I’m not the type of person to wallow in self pity and not give living here a good go. Plus if I sat here all day and bitched about Sydney compared to London I’d just drive myself insane. Sydney …
I am having a dreadful week. Yesterday I embarrassed myself when I wee’d all over the floor at the gym thanks to the damage my four children did stomping all over my pelvic floor during pregnancy. And then today this happened. I had my eyebrows butchered by a sadistic eyebrow …
I learnt something very important about myself at the gym today. I like to think I’m quite self aware but I guess there are still things I’ve yet to learn. Like that my pelvic floor and Body Attack classes are not friends. Not. At. All. I didn’t have much time …
For something that is essentially just putting one foot in front of the other repeatedly, running has filled my life with great things. I have had many people in my past and present life tell me that running is addictive, running helps with depression, running just makes you feel less …
