Tomorrow marks the first official day of my week off. T also managed to swing this week off. I’m going to enjoy this Yesterday we managed to round up minxdragon and cainbits and finally get the four of us down to see the Illuminated Manuscripts exhibition at the State Library before it closed today. It [...]
Alas, weep for me, for today I became a Lego Widow. Over the past week I have come to believe that I am indeed evil (as both T and my mother have told me many times in the past), and it is starting to leak out. On the weekend T and I caught up with [...]
Things seem to be really picking up, not just for me but also for those around me. I have my new job (which I’m absolutely loving), we have our new car (we do so love our Papa Smurf), and now T and I are engaged. In addition, we have friends getting jobs, a friend booked [...]

I noticed the difference immediately – the work seemed easier and progressed more smoothly, and my superiors seemed to notice the difference too. I think the break was what I needed – I hadn’t had any holidays since February 2006, nearly 2 [...]

Unfortunately demand far outstrips supply, with most of Bunnings’ supplies going to areas with Stage 4 water restrictions. But it made for a big crowd in aisle 21! T and I did manage to get some things to help – [...]
Ageing is possibly the cruelist trick in life. Because modern medicine keeps us alive far beyond our used-by dates, so when we do die it can often be seen almost as a blessing. On Friday T and I are going to the funeral of his grandmother, who died in the early hours of Monday morning.
To add to my already heavy workload, I was called in to work Saturday night to cover someone who was off sick. Not happy about having my weekend taken away again! One of my colleagues had his laptop though, and we watched The Devil Wears Prada and Thank You For Smoking, both of which were [...]
On Saturday T (being the angel he is) took me to see The Woman In Black at the Comedy Theatre. It was great! John Waters showed true versitility in the numerous characters he played throughout the show. If it weren’t for the fact that tomorrow night is the closing night, I’d recommend everyone to see [...]
