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, …
There should be animated movies that teach kids actual lessons. And I mean ACTUAL lessons. Everyone single one of them is teaching something useful, but also pretty generic. Be yourself! You should be free to be you! Be true to yourself! Never forget who you are! Don’t hide who you were meant to be! Follow …
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 …
Never thought they’d do it, but my favourite video game has introduced a non-competitive mode. People are up in arms about it just as much as it’s being applauded, but it’s still in beta, so we’ll have to see what happens. Now that the main game is considered an e-sport, i don’t think people will …
I’m somewhat disillusioned that conveyancers aren’t actually able to convey an entire building from one place to another. Just don’t feel like that’d be too much to ask. It’s 2018, and they make aircraft carriers to carry very large aircraft that are of a comparable weight to houses, so why not?? Honestly, the fact that …
