We have had the most beautiful weekend! We did all our chores during the week last week so yesterday I was able to stay in jammies on Saturday and only had to do some laundry while Bill whipped up the most yummy batch of ribs for dinner. It was terrifically lazy and I basically didn’t…
Royal Wedding Soiree Time
From the minute Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement I had been so excited for the countdown to the wedding. The whole wedding did not let me down – I thought it was absolutely beautiful and perfect and loved every little bit. It was a different feeling to when Princess Mary got married…
Easter Monday/ANZAC Day
It was so great to have the extra day in Albany for Easter Monday… as it was also ANZAC Day in Australia, this meant a broken sleep to follow the Collingwood Vs Essendon game at the G! While watching it in the darkness of a hotel room at 2.30am I was reminded of where we…

Memories
I was going through some old photos on Flickr and came across this – Memories of my time at RMIT – I really really miss it. This was a take home exam and the last piece of assessment I had due for my Masters.
Recent purchases…
Despite New York cutting my ‘going out shopping’ habit, it doesn’t mean that I can’t take advantage of the amazing online shopping here. A few weeks ago I decided I needed a new purse. My small Oroton one just was not cutting it for everyday use. Then I came across a gorgeous purse, that would…
Like, let’s totally go to the like mall ok?
