Most afternoons Hubby is home by 5:30pm. In Summer that means if we are fast there is an hour or two of usable light before it gets dark. Sometimes we just lay about in the backyard and have a chat, sometimes there are errands to run or food to buy. More often than not I make sure…

You’re hot and cold. One minute you’re here, the next, you’re not. In the past few weeks I’ve seen you twice, only for a minute or two at a time. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. I need more of you. More from you. Some days I sit and wait for you. You…

An afternoon stroll with Hubby has become a bit of a rarity around here. These photos were taken after 6pm and it was still 30 degrees. In Summer, in Queensland, it’s HOT. Hot and still and hot. But stroll we did. Him in his daggy clothes, me in my matchy matchy’ness with straight hair and…

Earlier this week I found out that I was nearing the top end of my hosting allowance on my current plan. The next step up was to go to unlimited for a still reasonable price but it got me wondering. Maybe I use too many photos. Perhaps the video idea wasn’t a good one. I…

I was told yesterday that drinking green smoothies for some meals was a bit full on, too strict and not very much fun at all.

There is this thing when you are in the upper end of the height scale, I’m about 5’10, and it’s called the not so maxi maxi dress. It’s not even a deliberate thing by businesses, I don’t think. It’s a simple maxi dress that I’m just a wee bit too tall for it. All my tall ladies,…

For some, it seems, Melissa is a tricky name to remember. Or perhaps it’s just a tricky name to pronounce. People try for Melissa and Michelle pops out. Or Melinda, or Marissa… Heck sometimes even Vanessa. Hubby thinks that maybe I mumble or don’t articulate it properly sometimes. After all most people who first meet…

This week for me is all about getting back on the horse. I wondered a lot in the past couple of weeks about the festivity that is the end of the year. All the consumption, it’s the only word I have for it, is so crazy. Any other time of the year if you ate…
