On Saturday we had our Pre-Cana day at the Albany Diocesan offices. You must complete a Pre-Cana course to be married in the Catholic church so we booked in as soon as we had our first meeting with Fr Joe. It was not what I expected at all as there were A LOT of couples…

INXS, Michael Hutchence and Dogs in Space
As we were in Albany over the weekend, I am backdating my #blogeverydayofjune posts to ensure that I have every day covered! Sally did a great post on The Sharp last week… so I am going to swoop in and do a post on INXS. I know Sally is a huge fan and also Nadine…
Best summer movie release – EVER!
Years ago, I went to a Sound of Music singalong screening. It was one of the best nights ever. Sal and Fiona were there, mum, Aunty Marg and others. We dressed up as brown paper packages tied up with string. And we sung. And sung. And sung. Last night when I got home, Entertainment Weekly…
Dallas BBQ
A couple of weeks ago Salina and her friend Brant were visiting New York so we just had to catch up! Sal and I grew up across the road from each other and it was her sister Fiona who I traveled with, lived with and worked with in London in 1999. We’ve known each other…
2010 Wall Street Run and Heart Walk
Next Thursday is the American Heart Association’s 2010 Start! Wall Street Run and Heart Walk. Bill is a great supporter of this cause and this will be his third year both as a participant and major fundraiser – he has raised over $11,000 for the AHA over this time. I have the honor of being…
Icehouse
This post is dedicated to Sally. And Naomi. And everyone else on Twitter and Facebook who wants to get Icehouse stuck in their heads ALL DAY. Now that the warm weather is here in the city, it is funny what memories summer brings back. Today, it was listening to Icehouse. Icehouse for me is memories…
An extra extravagant night in the city…
I have had a fantastic night! You know why? Cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom. Threw out old paperwork. Binned all the excess junk that we didn’t need after the re-organization of the main closet. Paid bills. Reworked our budget. Finished packing for Albany. Bill made an amazing quick pasta sauce that we had…
Footy-lag
I am super tired tonight – having Collingwood play on a work night here is a bad idea. I drifted off halfway near the end of the 2nd quarter and a buzzing mozzie woke me up with 10 minutes to go in the game. Not the best way to start a Monday! We’re up for…
Containing myself
One of the best stores IN THE WORLD is the Container Store. I could live there. It is simply – THE BEST! When we lived in Chelsea, I was spoiled by having one just on 6th Avenue… but moving has not stopped me one bit! The best thing about shopping there is that you actually…
It’s a long way to the church…
… if you want a sausage roll! We have had a beautiful Saturday – cooking and having fun at home! I have lucked out big time – Bill made the most AMAZING Lemon Pound cake ever. I am not a real cake lover – I’ll have a slice here and there but this cake changed…
