It’s been a while since I’ve done a Q&A. They used to come along on occasion when I was tagged in a meme, but this time I used the Guardian Q&A questions they ask celebrities because I have no modesty, none whatsoever! When were you happiest? There have been countless happy occasions. I’d feel sad…
This past Sunday saw hundreds of people in white t-shirts walk the 3.2km perimeter of Princes Oval in the city in aid of raising money for MND research and awareness. While such events always make me a little sad, I think it is important for the kids to see the support and solidarity such occasions…
Setting: a crowded conference reception area. Newbie-Blogger (NB): It’s amazing to finally meet you. Super-Blogger (SB): Thanks. NB: I mean, after you ignored my emails and my questions via tweets, I just figured you were too busy to reply to someone like me and I gave up. SB: Did that happen? I didn’t get those….
These are the first eight bars of the Harry Potter theme. This week Keira has been playing them incessantly on the piano. It’s quite cute the first twenty times. Then … not so much. If you are participating in NaBloPoMo leave your name and link URL for the day in Mr Linky. If you’ve blogged…

If you haven’t already seen it, the below is taken from here: Miscellaneous Press is pleased to announce that submissions are open for An Equal Task: Celebrating Australian Women’s Writing. Considerable debate and discussion continues to surround the subject…
Life / November 10th, 2011
Today’s Thrifty Thursday isn’t so much a success story as another ‘buyer beware’ tale. CUE is indisputably one of my favourite clothing brands to wear. For whatever reason it may be, their sizes, particularly the dresses, have always fitted and suited me. I can’t say the same for a lot of other labels, so it’s…
This month I’ve gone back to making my book reading update into a vlog – but I’m not alone. As you’ll discover, in one capacity or another, the whole family contributed. As you might expect, this makes it slightly chaotic. Keira has begun pestering us about wanting to start a blog. I quizzed her a…
