| 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. […] |
