Fairly fantastic Friday afternoon April 24, 2009

“I’ll shout you this one Wendy” You know the feeling, it’s Friday afternoon. Lunchtime, you go home and eat a revolting sandwich with last night’s cold sausages and tomato sauce and think, “there’s got to be more to life than this”. So you think, perhaps I can avoid returning to work for just a little […]

the morals of coffee March 17, 2009

Well, I raced home thinking I was late for my first piano student. I was not. But then remembered I had promised to ring another music teacher to get my student some more practice theory papers. So in 10 minutes I made this call while at the same time making a plunger of coffee. Do […]

("CY") Borg express February 2, 2009

Imagine my surprise when reversing out of a carpark uptown (after getting a takeaway coffee) when I had to wait for a whopping great bus called “The Borg Express”. It’s a bus, with a huge friendly picture of Lawrence (Laurence?) Springborg on the side and covered in the LNP logo. I appreciate the effort in […]

the coffee fussbudget goes shopping January 24, 2009

It was the usual Saturday morning shopping expedition today. Except for one vital difference. Indulge, best coffee ever experienced in Bundaberg was closed. They are having a week’s holiday. So, seeing it was my parent’s wedding anniversary we decided to try somewhere different for breakfast. (gasps of horror…I can hear you all from here!) We […]

Selfish Christmas Shopping Sunday December 14, 2008

It’s been a weekend of Christmas shopping with more to come this afternoon. Yes, metropolitan readers of this blog, the shops are actually open here on a Sunday. It’s wonderful, because it seems many residents of my fine city can’t actually break the habit of no shopping on a Sunday, so you can actually meander […]

All this and chocolate tart to finish October 23, 2008

Jinx and I were treated to a lovely lunch by Sue today. How civilised to leave work and have a home cooked meal that didn’t involve crowding into a noisy restaurant. Not that I’ve got anything against noisy restaurants. I like them and frequent them often. But sometimes it’s pleasant to have a relaxing change. […]
