The weather is pretty shitty today – here in Queensland.  Dark, rainy – just glum really. If a day could have an emotion – and I like to think they do – today is lonely. How do I know – well, I spent a hell of a lot of my childhood lonely.  Mostly because […]

  So – I didn’t get around to writing yesterday.  Mea Culpa.It was a busy-arse day.  And for one solitary reason. We were making Polish Kabanosy.  Stuffing those slippery sucker sausage casings with a mountain of meat I’d cured – and then smoking it. My partner is Polish – did I tell you that before?  And […]

  There’s a whole different set of clients that I often see quite often.  Not Jack & Diane from yesterday.   More Mortal Kombat.  God, I loved that game.  I think my computer game addiction began right back in the 90s with the Nintendo, Mortal Kombat and Sonic.  Not so much Atari – that was boring as […]

I’ve just plopped myself in a big old comfy chair. Dinner is cooking.  And I feel like a cuddly old Grandma who is about to open a dusty book from the shelf – and tell you a story.Listen up, kids.  I’m about to tell you an age-old tale – from generations ago to now. It […]

Picture this.Very solemn court proceedings. Although it looks far more modern than I had pictured it. Hard wooden benches. Forced silence. People shuffling nervously in their chairs.  The air feels important.  I’m shaking.But – it’s not my first rodeo.I’m kinda used to the security checks when you come into the Family Court.  I’ve seen lots […]

I had a mouthful of hot lactose-free latte. Strange because I was heading out for brunch with one of my friends. But I can skull a couple of coffees in a row – no problems. We’ve had a Garmin for a couple of months now – I LOVE a gadget. And – my amazing man […]

I adore music.  I cannot imagine a life without music.  Life is Music.Life is food too – but Life is music.I basically have a soundtrack for every single part of my life.My first 8 years were gospel music and hymns.  Let me loudly scream the disclaimer that this was not of my doing.But – if […]

I get asked about this show at least once a week.And you know what – I admit with great shame that I used to watch it.  And even – gulp – look forward to it.I need therapy – I know.  You’ll see what I mean.Anyways.  I’ll put you out of the misery of guessing – […]
