I got promoted! It was a massive promotion as well, on top of an already big promotion last year, which means I have a tonne of disposable income to spend. Last year when I got promoted I built a new house, and to be honest, this year I’m not really sure what to do with …
As a Melbournian, it’s not uncommon for me to board the Spirit of Tasmania with my trusty four-wheel drive and go on a week road trip around Tasmania. It’s actually fantastic how easy it is to visit Tasmania. It’s so freeing to be able to take my car to the small Australian state and explore …
I’m a big fan of food. Some would even call me a foodie, or a food-connoisseur. I pride myself on throwing glorious dinner parties and cooking delicious meals for my guests, and I am known by my neighbours as the best chef in the area. Last Saturday night, I was scheduled to have twelve people …
I had the morning from hell, and it all began when I woke up and realised that there was no food for breakfast. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and I never skip it or I’ll struggle to function for the next twelve hours. Being a Saturday morning, I had time before any …
I run a large basketball stadium in Melbourne. In Australia, domestic basketball is a yearlong sport, with breaks between seasons only occurring during the school holidays. As the basketball stadium is pretty much a big tin shed, you can imagine how hot it gets in summer. We have heat policies and what not for the …
Why is it whenever I’m running late for work, something always goes wrong? Whether there’s an excessive amount of traffic, or I’ve lost my laptop charger or my clothes aren’t out of the dryer, something always happens to go wrong. Today has been the worst mishap of all, and I’ve called in sick to work …
When it comes to flowers, colour, shape and fragrance get all the attention. Perhaps that’s as it should be – I mean, it must take a lot of evolutionary wherewithal to create the ornamental flair of an orchid or a fushia, or the scent of rose or jasmine. Still, I can’t help but wonder… what …
I’m picking up my brand new puppy tomorrow! I am so excited. I’ve wanted a dog since I was a child, but unfortunately I was never allowed one. When I moved out as a young adult, I moved into an apartment that wasn’t big enough to house a dog. I knew it wouldn’t be fair …
I have the cutest little puppy. We just adopted her from the local shelter and she’s only twelve weeks old. She was abandoned, so understandably, she is a bit skittish around people. We’ve found that she really likes to be warm, always searching for the spots under the windows where there’s sun coming in. Yesterday …
My new car is due for its first service in a couple of weeks. This car is extremely special to me, as it’s the first one I’ve bought brand new. My two cars prior to this one have been second or third hand, and whilst I got five or so years out of each, it …
