| reasons why I am not a domestic goddess, or, muffin cooking Monday | January 12, 2009 | An occasional series combined with “days of the week”. Cooking orange and poppyseed muffins. Out of a packet. Just add water. I don’t think Nigella would approve. Not only was there no added chocolate, butter, cream or lard, but there was also no pouting in a disturbing fashion to the camera crew in the kitchen, […] |
| if it’s Friday this must be Bundaberg? | January 2, 2009 | I always think the time between Christmas and New Year is a little weird. Particularly because I tend to lose track of what day it is. For instance, knowing full well today is Friday, but waking up thinking it should be Monday, because yesterday (being a public holiday) felt like Sunday (when really it was […] |
| The New Year’s lesson from ye olde rocke musick | December 31, 2008 | Patience: Yes I know it’s the name of a Guns and Roses classic. But it is also my New Year’s resolution.

Thankfully there is now the nothingness of Boxing Day in which to recover. I intend to read a book whilst lying on the lounge with the airconditioning blasting. The cricket shall […] |

| Technological Tuesday | December 23, 2008 | Friday afternoon my desktop threw a tantrum and got taken to the computer shop. I meant to ring them yesterday to find out what was going on but didn’t get to it. So this morning I call and discover that they guy who had taken it there “only does contract work for them” and hadn’t […] |

| 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 […] |
