Last week saw me sitting through a 5 hour business update whilst dressed as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (to be specific, original Kristy Swanson Movie Buffy, prom scene) with stake and all. I was sitting next to Holly Golightly and Kath Day-Night, while watching a lady dressed as Wonder Woman explain our international strategy?!This was… Continue reading Christmas Parties, why?
Not everyone needs to know my opinion! Or do they?
Do you ever get that feeling that you are an imposter. Just playing at being a grown up. I have a friend back home with a child who for the first few years of his life was sure a grown up would burst in at any moment, demand she give the baby back and stop… Continue reading Not everyone needs to know my opinion!

You’re how old?
There’s a mild panic. Nothing you can totally put your finger on but it’s there when you turn 40. Is it just wondering how that many years have passed?

Now… Continue reading Escaping, adventuring, hiding or expanding my horizons?
The Monochrome dilemma
I love wearing white, and light bright colours generally. Now you wouldn’t really think this as I still exist under a shroud of black and dark colours. Grunge teen to Londoner to Melburnian. All things and places have a love of a darker hue of clothing. Now I need all these black tee’s (just tee’s,… Continue reading The Monochrome dilemma
The Winery Tour
One of the major perks of living in Melbourne, and Australia in general, is access to some of the most beautiful wineries.

This can be dangerous though when you have drastically cut… Continue reading The Winery Tour
