Aussies have bums, fair dinkum
If you wanted to upset my old man (that's Australian for father) you just had to refer to people as guys. "Australians don't have guys we have blokes or fella or sheilas," he'd growl. The older I get the more I think I'm turning into him. Takes [...]
Aint love grand
This is a little gem that's floating out there in cyberspace--well Craigslist to be specific. Can I tell all you single girls, it's times like this when I'm glad to be a happily married woman (or female as the following poet likes to say). Anyway [...]
Would you pass this 12 step plan to staying young?
Bees. Honeypot. That is me when I see articles called things like 12 Stay Young Secrets. You can read the original post here, but I've summarised it for you. How many weeks an hour do you exercise?Ideally 2.5 hours. Yay I do that which [...]

I love anti lists. I actually wrote an anti-list at the beginning of this year. Had a glance over it and yep, I'm on track. I haven't done any of the things on my anti-list. This is constituting a very successful year. So a new trend in [...]
Do you want to be hotter than your daughter? Really?
Sorry about the delayed posts. I truly underestimated the effects of jetlag. Let's just say that drinking 10 vodkas and two bottles of wine on the way back from Rome was not, in hindsight, exactly the smartest choice. So in my jetlagged induced [...]
Hair down there
Found a marvellous blog the other day. It's called Middle Agelessand is written by the eternally lovely Rosine. It deals with all those pressing needs for "anyone who's reached 40 and wants to stay there". So here a few Q and A's lifted from the [...]
Grandpa was a groper
It's a lovely thing isn't it, sitting around with your grandparents sharing those old family stories. But I'll be no one was prepared for the overshare from this pair. It's from the Awkward Family Photos site. Nothing like finding out your [...]
