I haven’t been to Ohio – yet. I cannot wait to go sometime soon – it is the one state that I am kind of obsessed with. Note – Bill was actually born in Ohio! It has been one of those places that I have always dreamed of going. When I won the Green Card…
NPR Ask Me Another – Live!
On Wednesday, we went to the Bell House in Brooklyn for the taping of Ask Me Another for NPR. This bought back memories of seeing This American Life a few years ago at the Clearview in Chelsea. Bill and I are both radio nuts. I could quite happily live with my radio going 24/7 and…
Now this is good mail…
It is not every day you get a letter postmarked from Hampton Court Palace! This was our membership pack for the Historic Royal Palaces which saves us some £’s for the palaces we want to visit while we are in London. We are positively jumping out of our skin and seriously counting down to the…
Love really is in the air…
One thing that put a smile on our faces on our flights of madness coming home was something special that Bill organized. On the ‘From the Heart’ Qantas radio station, you can email Qantas eight weeks before your flight and get a dedication played. So gorgeous Bill did that and got a dedication played to…

Goodbye Melbourne… hello New York
Our last Sunday in Melbourne was spent with mum and dad at friends of ours, Sofie and Michael’s place. They put on an unbelievable BBQ for us and we had a ball with them all afternoon just chatting away. Beautiful fresh food and taking it easy before the big flight home. When we got home…
Canberra
We had a huge couple of days in Canberra.. here goes! I am probably the biggest fan of Heinz Tinned Spaghetti ever. I was so excited to see that our Canberra hotel had it on the menu for breakfast. Hooray! So this was a breakfast on the first morning – We then headed to Cockington…
Parkes – Canberra
So I decided it is high time I wrap up our September/October trip to Australia before I do any other blog posts…! We left off last time in Parkes, where we went out to see the CSIRO Dish. We settled in for a big sleep in the dodgy hotel room that came free with mouse…
A happy news story…
This is doing the rounds tonight after it was on the evening news service. A lovely story about a teacher and her ongoing connection to former students. We need more stories like this in the news… and we need more people like Mrs Hayes.
Happy New Year!
Going through my photos, I found one of how we spent New Years Eve this year. I had a marathon phone chat with mum, Bill relaxed infront of the TV and the people down the hall had their “Let’s turn our apartment building into a nightclub” party. They only play music once a year and…
