Its been five weeks since we arrived in Sydney. I’m having a love hate relationship with it at the moment and can’t work out which way I’m going to swing. Some days I wake up desperately missing London and by lunchtime I have a mental list of ten thousand things …
I am a very organised and tidy person. Too organised if you ask my husband and kids. I like things done a certain way, within a certain time frame and to a certain degree of quality. I just re-read that and basically I sound like a giant pain in the ass. …
We’ve been in Sydney for three weeks now but it feels like longer. Luca has started school, Holly starts next week, Charlie and Jude start daycare a couple of days next week too and Rob goes back to work on monday. Thank God. The kids have been off school now …
Well. We’re all here. Rob and my Mum arrived from London this morning with Charlie and Jude. They both looked liked they’d spent the night in the slammer and my Mum even had a completely bloodshot eye to complete her sleep-deprived and frazzled look. Their flight arrived at 5am so …
Well we made it. We are here. I didn’t die in the process, refuse to get on the plane, nor did I lose my mind – or even cry the entire way from Heathrow to Sydney .. only the London-Dubai leg! As usual there was drama including seized goods on …
We move to Sydney on Wednesday. There has been a shift lately. Maybe it’s because London is experiencing 30+ temps and I absolutely loathe hot weather, or maybe it’s because it’s time to stop kicking and screaming about leaving the UK … but I feel okay about leaving now. Okayish. …
We leave London in a week. I’ve been neglecting my blog a lot lately because I can’t think of anything funny to write. It’s really bothering me. The purpose of my blog has always been to write funny things about my life, but I’m not my usual self at the …
Each week I post a blog of my week in 7 photos (well usually, I’ve been a bit slack the past 3 weeks). All photos taken on iPhone 4.
Rob and I have just had four amazing days in Rome. Without the kids. Again. Seriously, my Mum deserves a million bucks for all the child-minding she does so Rob and I can jet off for long weekends together, making the most of our last weeks in London. I hadn’t …
I’ve only got three more weeks left living in London. Everyone knows how sad I am to be leaving so I won’t go on about it, but nothing has changed and I still don’t want to go. I have my feet firmly entrenched in grief mode where I’m imagining they’re …
I am always on the lookout for things to blog about. Amusing things. Luckily I live in a country whose media offer me a plethora of things to laugh about pretty much each day. In fact I needn’t look much further than a certain media publication, but more about that …
I have met some phenomenal people since I started running. Inspiring people who have helped me believe I can achieve my next goal when I’ve doubted myself. When I signed up for my first 10k it was others, not me, who believed I could do it and they were right. …
I’m fairly certain I could never survive in isolation. By isolation, I probably mean anywhere without 3G coverage. The chances of me retiring anywhere outside a major city are less than zero. Unless I lived in England. I have several friends here who have ‘moved to the country’ from London, …
Each weekend I post a blog of my week in 7 photos. All photos taken on iPhone 4.
I am forever quitting stuff. On monday I gave up sugar. I will quite happily swap a few (dozen) spoons of Nutella for a proper meal because I have a dreadful sweet tooth. I developed it when I quit drinking about a year and a half ago and its been …
