I know you all just want to hear about my date, but bear with me here: I’m about to change my blog theme (have I ever mentioned how much I hate change? I do, I hate it).

About 54% of my readers access my blog from desktops, 32% from mobiles, and 14% from tablets. My current theme is so old that it doesn’t properly support the smaller devices, so the main driver for this … Continue Reading

How to make Milo

This is a Very Important Topic*.

Milo is a chocolate malt drink that is a staple in Australia, right up there with Vegemite. The value of Milo (vs other chocolate milk additives) is that it’s crunchy, so when you have it, you have to embrace the crunchiness of it and not waste it.

There is much debate about the best way to have Milo, and in the interests of world wide education, I have produced … Continue Reading

Lucky

My sister will be here with me for my birthday on Friday. She will arrive tomorrow, so I will be struggling under the weight of her company already by the time Friday comes around.

We will drink too much champagne, talk too loudly, gesture too wildly, eat too much junk food.

On Friday evening, we will get dressed up like we never do, put on make up, and heels, and we will go out for … Continue Reading

A wrongness

In general, I’m a pretty happy person. On a scale of 1-10, I’d say I average somewhere around a 7-8 in my every day life.

Sometimes, though, I feel like there is something wrong with me.

Mostly it’s some vague niggling thing in the back of my mind that lives there quietly and doesn’t bother me. In a lot of ways, I just don’t seem to function like other people in the world, and that’s … Continue Reading
