Last night I had a memorable commute home. As usual I was fanning myself on the stinking hot train platform, thinking way too much about dinner and just wanting to get home. The train pulled in (as they do every two minutes!) and I jumped in the carriage and was all “GO TEAM!” because I…

Summer in Brooklyn
Just when I thought weekends through summer were going to be pretty chill, I came across this page detailing what is going on in Brooklyn over summer. Everything is just so fabulous!

Dinner tonight – Sweet and Sour Prawns
This is a 20 minute meal – it is 100% home made and look at how nice it is! Because it isn’t a jar sauce it had delicious layers of fresh flavours with no crazy ingredients like you may get at a takeaway. Of course, you can substitute chicken, pork or an extra load of…
Trams, Trains, Jail, Parliament and a trip to the dentist.
On Tuesday morning after the clean up we were up early to get the train into the city for our first touristy day. We did my old usual routine for going to the station and Bill got to finally experience Melbourne’s public transport system. He has had to put up with my complaints about it…
