Thanksgiving this year was a bit less eventful than last year without mum, dad and Matthew here… but it was super relaxed and we had a lovely time away. We got up to Albany in the dark and checked in to our usual hotel… just in time for Bill to head out for his own…

Living here…
Means that I have to pay attention to Holiday Tipping. What is it exactly? Read this Holiday Tipping guide and find out. We don’t have a doorman so we just have to worry about our Super and the two maintenance staff. We lucked out with them so we don’t even blink at the thought of…
Nail update
New mani yesterday! Here is CND Shellac in Cocoa. My salon has just become fully stocked in Gelish polishes so I may try them next time. Love this color for Thanksgiving week!
One little confession…
I love Days of our Lives. I have got back into it after being off the bandwagon for some time – a few years ago I was absolutely obsessed. To the point of getting Soap World magazine and Soap Opera Digest. A little heads up – if you want to start watching it OR you…
Two Aussies, A Geordie and An American….
… walk in to a Texan BBQ place in New York City. It really did happen! This week Chris, one of my footy pals from Melbourne (who is now going to be living in the UK) was visiting New York so we caught up for BBQ with him and his bride-to-be, Deb, who is from…
Foo Fighters at Madison Square Garden
Last night we went to see the Foo Fighters at Madison Square Garden. In 2008, before I even moved here, Bill went to see them at the Garden and I saw them in Melbourne with Frannie. How things change in a few years! It was also milestone as I was finally seeing my first concert…
The weekend I didn’t run a Marathon
I feel so bad. Just a couple of hours of cheering the marathoners had me curled up in bed for a 2 hour nap. It was exhausting. Today was Marathon Sunday and I managed to get out of my jammies (I needed a jammie weekend!) for a few hours so we could cheer from our…
Our night with Lindsey Buckingham
Oh my gosh. That was all I could say at the end of Friday night as we settled into bed. Our Friday night this week was not spent going to JFK Airport to ride the Airtrain but was instead spent on the Upper East Side. First we had to stop in Soho where Poppy King…
An adventurous 24 hours…
On Friday night we decided to trek out to JFK airport to take our two suitcases back as they have to be repaired after being pummeled on our trip back from Australia.. more on that to come! To make it fun we decided to have a bit of an adventurous date night. We were going…
A Brooklyn Halloween..
Our block takes Halloween VERY seriously. In fact, we even get the street blocked off. Our neighbors do a big Halloween production that gets crowds from all over coming to visit. For those in Melbourne, it is kind of like living on The Boulevard in Ivanhoe at Christmas time. On my walk home from the…
