In a society that has forgotten how to think, use manners and apply common sense the logical thing to do is regulate. Provocative statement? Well be careful what you say about it or you may just be sued (or I may as the publisher of the post hosting your comments). What? The Australian newspaper (6 […]

In my humble opinion there are two distinct ways to live life in the ‘public eye’ (and let’s face it, every single one of us is in the public eye to some degree these days); Smile, suck it up and spruik about the pretty rainbows and unicorns Tell the truth about your life as an

So. After publicly noticing that I was far too busy about one month ago in parts one – two – three of this series I kept running. Oh no, not running in the joggers and tights sense, no, no. Running more akin to if I slow down now I may spontaneously combust kind of madness.I ran, ran

I was too unwell to gym this week. Look I’ve been once this year now, isn’t that enough? My daughters still went (smug belongs in this part of the sentence) and after I collected them I somehow managed to accidentally eat four nutella scrolls. They were only little – and I baked them myself, does

My darling middle child has always had a way with words. She’s almost 16 now.

Another work trip. Another hotel. I’d been doing this for a long, long time and sitting within four walls en route to somewhere should have been a very ordinary occurrence. This time it was not.
