Starting work, getting used to a commute and working out the exact amount of time to get ready in the morning has been fun! I have now got my routine down to a tee – so much so, if I have my hair already straightened I can be in the shower at 7.55am and still…
Watch out NY…
As a result of the very awesome Qantas 2-for-1 international fare sale, mum and dad are coming to New York in May next year! Hurrah! As the fares were getting increasingly ridiculous it was looking more and more like they would not be coming over and I’d be doing a visit back – but the…

So a few posts back – I was about to head out to see Lindsey Buckingham in concert. It was an AMAZING show. It was the best performance I have seen him play recently – better than the Fleetwood Mac reunion tour and better than his solo PBS Soundstage performance. The energy on stage was…
I commute, therefore I am…

Basically the role entails looking after…
Sunnyside Up
I absolutely love my neighbourhood – settling in here has been a breeze. Discovering new places every day is just the best and it is a beautiful neighbourhood to walk around. I thought I would put up some general shots of the area before the weather turns bad – they are all here. Although, here…
