There was a little boy in my life. He reached up to hold my hand. He was terrible at tying his shoe laces. His best friend at kinder was a girl named Alex. He played with matchbox cars. We took a walk together down the bike track, close to the creek. He watched the trickles of water. Looked […]

I seem to have a desire to continue a theme… As fate would have it after my hubby met his man-fan last week I had the interesting opportunity to have my own lesbian moment yesterday. At work I was serving a long line of customers. A nice, young lady walked up to the counter and… well it […]

There are some days where you just feel that you are the icy pole stick that’s been shoved up the arse of a Paddlepop. Chocolate flavour. I don’t want to sound like a huge whinge-bag (because I am really blessed with family, friends, health and incredible good looks >haha< ) but yesterday was the beginning […]

My daughter had a homework assignment to do. Brainstorm a BIG list of all the words you can think of that represent Australia. She started off strong… Melbourne, Victoria, koala, wombat, footy, meat pie, kangaroo, southern cross, sydney opera house, Barrier Reef, Ayers Rock, boomerang… the list went on and on… until we […]

If you work in a bank or are a fanatical fan of Jesus -you really should avert your eyes now. Please. Prologue: I hate banking. Of course I love money going into the bank… I just don’t like going to the bank. I like the lovely sanitized online version of banking. No queues, no […]
