This is me at the moment, in my jammies at 3.30am!!! Good old Collingwood forever!! I listened to the game through streaming radio over the net and mum and I connected on Skype so she could point the webcam on the iMac over to the TV so I could see/hear the live broadcast. This is…

Weather forecasts! Weather forecasts from Accuweather include… a Hair Frizz Index. Is this not one of the best things ever? With the heat and humidity my hair has been a mix of limp/frizzy/boofy mess. But the forecast can definitely help define those ponytail days!

With the Tropical Storm Hanna about to bear down on New York, I received this email from the MTA. The MTA offer email alerts where you get a weekly email about any known disruptions to your train line and any service announcements. These are delivered every week, without fail, whether there are disruptions or not….

Wow! I just clicked onto Gothamist for my usual nightly read… when I was floored to see one of my photos used on the lead page!

It was only the next week that I realised what they were, when another batch of the rubbish was dumped on the stoop. This…

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all the comments/emails and messages that have been sent through about Tyler. *massive hugs to all* It has been a crazy couple of days – this is a fast forwarded blog update just because I will get back on track with the blogging soon….
