Earlier this week, I found myself wandering along the banks of the Brisbane River. It was a pleasantly warm spring day and there were families out enjoying everything that South Bank has to offer – the pools, the grassy picnic areas and the cycle ways that run through the whole area. There’s no doubt in [...]
I think I have contracted a nasty virus – it’s called biting off more than you can chew! When I first moved here six years ago, the block was in appalling shape. My other half had already bought the land and had a house built, put in retaining walls and a driveway but that was [...]
The most cost effective way of having a sustainable home is implementing green alternatives during the building process itself. If you’re looking at building a house in the not too distant future, it is worthwhile taking a look at the different levels of rebates available for environmentally friendly alternatives to energy production, cooling, heating and [...]
Last night, we had the biggest electrical storm come through my area which coincided rather unfortunately with the same night that my sister had made plans to go to QPAC at Southbank to see My Fair Lady. Around 6pm or so, I received a stricken phone call from my sister saying that one of the [...]
But nasty names won’t hurt me, so there’s no harm in fulfilling rah’s request to play the name game.
Porn star name (first pet, first street where you lived): Sambo Fenlon (yeah that’s ultra smexy!)
Rock star name (favourite pet, current car): Rosie Corolla

I’ve decided to apply for another job and I thought I’d share my progress with the application with you all so I took a screenshot of my work on it so far.
Yeah, it’s going really great. Who am I kidding? This is the pits. How hard is it to come up with a 2 page [...]
No I’m not an alcoholic, nor am I condoning that sort of behaviour.
But I am a HUGE fan of Lush products. You can find Lush stores in countries all across the globe, not to mention here in Australia as well. Even if you live out back of Bourke (or God forbid, Bulia), you [...]
Remember when I posted a few months back about how I completely and utterly made a mess of my blog trying to customise a new theme? If I remember rightly (and I guess I could read the post to find out), I solemnly swore never to muck around with customising the theme again. Actually now [...]
Early last week, one of our fish tanks (unfortunately the largest one) fractured down the side and ended up causing a minor flood in that area of our house. Fortunately for the fish, my other half was home at the time and rescued all the fish, promptly finding them a new home in a plastic [...]
