Almost a year ago (I have a somewhat tenuous relationship with time on this blog), my grandparents celebrated sixty gorgeous years of marriage and togetherness. Sixty years spanning multiple states and houses, sixty years that have taken them from the days of fresh milk dropped off at the door by a man with a horse [...]

Where were we? Oh yes. My brother, Dad, and I discovered a fabulous new relative on the streets of Canberra and bundled her away to Grazing for Easter lunch, where we joined my mother, grandparents, and great aunt for much feasting, laughter, awesomeness, and drunky-dinobird-mimicking. Let’s continue, shall we? For his main, Grandpa had the [...]

On Easter Sunday, at 11am on the dot, I was sitting in the back of my parents’ car watching my Dad and brother pore over a street map. “Wait,” I said. “So what you’re saying is that not only are we picking up an obscure relative we’ve never met before, but that all you know [...]

Thursday was one of those days in which every minute feels like ten. When you find yourself looking at the clock at 11am, despairing over the fact that it surely should be home-time yet you still have a seemingly endless expanse of work hours before you. A day where your mind feels wonkysplash enough that, [...]

It’s time for another Bits and Bobs Mish Mash Confuzzled Post of Randomness! March’s edition runs the gamut from food to food and more food and then something that isn’t food. Get excited. Months before Vien sent me the Go Natural winnings and her delicious homemade pumpkin butter, we found ourselves chatting via email about [...]

It was my mum’s 60th birthday this past Saturday. Happy birthday mama-dear! You fill up my life with sparkles of support and love and laughter and wisdom, and it’s only 8% frustrating and 92% wonderful that you’re pretty much always right about everything. I don’t know where I’d be without you. My mother’s birthday dinner [...]

First day of autumn. Pelting rain the likes of which hasn’t been seen in Canberra in over half a century. Flooding, a bursting dam, washed-away roads, greygreysilvergrey skies. Stress and exhaustion causing me to crawl into bed at 6pm the night before. A futile attempt at resting foiled by my brain’s refusal to let me [...]

My birthday last year was, in a word, unpleasant. If I’d known back in May that my birthday dinner wouldn’t come until October (five months late), I probably would have cried. But you know what? In the long run, the timing didn’t matter, because my late birthday dinner was wonderful and proved that Canberra can [...]

I’ve wanted to blog about Iori for quite some time now. It’s long been one of my favourite Canberran restaurants, and I’ve honed my order into entree-main-dessert perfection. Unfortunately, Iori is tucked in a building without windows, which means the lighting is always low and not conducive to good photography. Ergo no blogging. However, I [...]

My first three days in Melbourne were wonderful, filled as they were with friends, food, singing, new shoes, and much laughter. But none of that was why I booked the trip to Melbourne. The real reason was that, last year, a certain Canadian blogger announced that she’d be visiting Australia during her world trip. I [...]
