This week’s blog is going to be a short one. Mostly, because I’m tired and I really don’t have the spoons for anything longwinded. So, my holidays are over and I have to say, it was two weeks well spent. I got a lot of writing done which was great. You’ll also be pleased to…

A Holiday Update from the Desk of Someone Who Nearly Burned Down the Kitchen Hello, lovely people! I know, I know — it’s been a while. But the holidays are upon us (or were, or will be, depending on when you’re reading this, and frankly, time is a flat circle at this point), and I…

Sure, when someone says “sandwich” you probably think PB&J, Vegemite, jam, maybe a token salad sandwich to prove you’ve seen a vegetable this decade. But recently I’ve been haunted—yes, haunted—by memories of the weird little snack sandwiches I used to eat as a kid. This blog dives into two of those deliciously questionable creations. Sandwich…

This week I finally took some very overdue long service leave. And when I say overdue, I mean the kind of overdue where the leave balance was probably sitting in the system wearing a cardigan, asking if anyone was ever going to collect it. I had grand visions, of course. Rest. Relaxation. Possibly becoming the…

I know. I’ve used this header before … A couple of times actually. It’s the only one that accurately describes the week that we’ve just had. On the night of Monday August 3rd, at 10pm we experienced what could only be described as a plumbing emergency. Our toilet decided it’d had enough of this life…

I had no intention of writing a blog this week. I’m too tired, to exhausted, emotionally spent and I feel like my nervous system hasn’t been able to relax in months. There are so many things that need to be fixed, so many things that need to be done and so many issues that need…

This week was one of the most frustrating working weeks of my life. The company I work for or, more specifically, the middle of the range upper management types are currently having knee-jerk reactions to everything. Look, I’ve worked where I have (quite happily I might add) for almost 17 years and I have seen…
