Oh good…my pen pal is coming. And he wants to meet me. That’s…great. He just looked me up on Visage-Tome all these years later. Looks totally different from when our schools put us in contact, but of course he does; it’s been twenty years. But just meeting him isn’t the part that I’m afraid of. …
Melbourne, More Motors than Intrigue, To Be Honest… Read More »
I wonder if my tutor will give me extra credit just for being unpredictable? Certainly it’ll make them look twice at my essay, which is…maybe not the best thing? But still, I hope they’re take a second glance for a reason and respect my bold choices. That’s pretty much essential, because there’s not going to …
Sometimes I like to just go places and pretend to be someone else. Like a medical professional! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going into a hospital and telling them that I’m prepped for surgery. I mean when I’m at a party, or our in an unfamiliar place. You take on a different persona, and …
Parking: is there a greater scourge? I’m gonna say no. Just spent two hours driving around my friends birthday party venue, only to finally give up and just go home. I have no time for endless hunts for something you only sit your car in for a short time anyway. Gah, I thought they were …
I’m gearing up to start planning my next driving adventure. The question is, where should I go? I’ve budgeted three weeks for this one – not quite enough time for a big desert trip. I’m leaning towards Tasmania – I can get the ute there easily from Melbourne, and it’s got a lot packed into …
Pressing pause on the Melbourne Olympic album. I’m just not feeling any sort of inspiration at the moment, maybe because it’s too cold to frolic outside in the Melburnian air and drink in the ambient juices. My own juices are running low, so I need to visit the metaphorical juice bar so I can top …
It looks like the weather being cold is causing more problems than people know how to handle. The middle of the day is generally okay, but it’s when the temperature drops below 18 or so that folks just can’t handle it. Really, having been in Melbourne recently I can’t empathise. As you might have heard, …
Now, indoor play centres…these are something that would please the ancestors. I remember back when our family lived in our Castle, and we had something rather similar to an indoor play centre for the use of our children. The only difference was that it wasn’t for play; it was to get them used to different …
Children’s stories can be really dark. Like, a lot darker than I remember. I just managed to pick up a free copy of ‘The Iron, the Switch and the Floor Robe’ on my e-reader, and it’s like…yeah, I get that it’s the classic tale of an innocent little girl who tries to do some ironing …
I’ve never had much to do with my grandparents on either side – they either live on the other side of the world with our extended family, or they’ve passed away. To me, they’ve always been a distant entity that doesn’t warrant a great deal of thought. So it was interesting for me to hear …
