My brain suffers it’s own kind of OCD. When it gets an interesting piece of fodder, it just throws it around in there like a ping pong ball in the all Chinese Olympic final. It wakes me up, usually at 3am. Wide awake. Thinking about the idea, figuring out how I’m going to use the … Continue reading »
These Days I’m Pondering At 3am…
These Days I’m Not Bragging or Whinging, Just Happy…
I’m a teacher. This means one awesome thing… school holidays! I know, you have a friend who’s a teacher and they’re forever posting on Facebook how many days till holidays, and it drives you nuts. I know, then they start posting how many days left till they have to return to school. Then when they’re … Continue reading »
These Days ‘Never Be The Same’
The Rubens are on high rotation on my iPod at the moment and I have to share this song with you. I’m definitely one of those people who get a song ‘stuck’ in the heads… for ages. I wake up singing it, I go to sleep singing it (try to!), it often appears in my … Continue reading »
These Days…
Ugh! It’s been too long. I feel like I’m just sitting down with a good coffee and a wonderful, long lost friend. I’ve missed blogging like I miss such friends. It’s probably compacted with the fact that I’ve been on a ‘facebook’ ban for the last month! No ‘social media’ connection has been an interesting … Continue reading »
These Days I’m Writing Another List…
Happy New Year – indeed it is! I’m happy to be home on the couch right now after a week of festivities – most of them truly joyful, a few of them a bit shitful thanks to the bogans next door, but hey, you can’t have it all right! Ha! So I sit here on … Continue reading »
These Days I’m Not Measuring Time In Minutes
I have always worn a watch. And my latest watch was given to me by my older brother when I lived in London. I loved that watch. It’s seen many years, new straps, many batteries and a few trips to the watchmaker, but it’s finally conked it. And since it’s demise, I’ve not replaced it. … Continue reading »
These Days I’m Old But Punk Rock Still Roolz!
Ha! I laugh every time I see this. Not because I think it’s hilarious, it’s funny yes, but not hilarious. I laugh more at myself because I’ve done this! I’ve been that sheep, liking inspirational stuff because it’s been put in front of me. But really – do I relate to any of it? … Continue reading »
These Days I’m Singing Gotye (who isn’t!)
I’ve been sitting staring at this blank document for about 2 weeks now, wanting to write so many things but not knowing where at all, to start. Weird for a blogger I know! I should have lots to write about. And, as a matter of fact I do, I have about 15 blogs written in … Continue reading »
These Days are Not Guilty Days
I constantly have these discussions with friends about the feelings of guilt that mothers feel when they make the decision to return to the workforce. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to use words to do this topic justice. The balance between being a mother and having a career is so delicate. When … Continue reading »
These Days Are Ben Harper Bliss
I was lucky enough to get tickets to see ‘An Acoustic Evening with Ben Harper’ at The Plenary in Melbourne. I knew when Hubby bought me the tickets that it was going to be something special. I mean, how could it not be? An incredible artist, bearing all in an acoustic show, just the man … Continue reading »
