Today was officially the first short sleeve and sandal day of spring in Melbourne. Utter bliss. Made even more enjoyable by my freshly spring cleaned windows. I’m in my happy place.
Just as at the start of the colder weather, soup is a fabulous meal that it seems impossible to tire of, the advent of warmer […]

For the second night running, clicking save has caused an entire post to vanish off the face of the earth. Wordpress is making me crazy. I may or may not have the patience to redo this tonight. If not, bear with me and block your ears as I am about to curse. Loudly.

Ah the bliss that is a child free existence. It’s quiet. It’s neat. It’s quiet. Its free of constant demands. Did I mention that it’s quiet?
Friday, the Bread Winner and I shipped the Ankle Biters off to the Grandparents and we bolted to the airport for a weekend in Sydney. Things didn’t start incredibly smoothly […]

Clearly I am a genius. I did a very small, cheap shop last week. Can’t remember the dollar value exactly. Anyway, the brilliance lies in the fact that I used up the last scraps in the fridge for tonight’s dinner. There are just enough eggs and milk left for breakfast tomorrow until I get to […]

Have you seen Cold Comfort Farm? Or read it? If you haven’t you should. Read and see it, both versions are brilliant. No idea why fritters for lunch made me think of it but I must haul the DVD out for my regular viewing.
Anyhoo, back to business.
