Every day, I put on my cardboard signs like a poncho, grab my bell, a suitcase filled with a dozen carbon monoxide testing kits and take to the streets of Melbourne, warning people of the dangers within their very homes. Carbon monoxide is an invisible killer, like a monster in Goblins and Grottos or something …
My husband and I have very different ideas of when and how to use our heater. I am a naturally warm person, whereas my husband claims he’s cold blooded and is therefore always freezing. Every year from around May until the end of August, our household experiences what I like to refer to as “The …
My new bathroom is going to be epic. I’m in the midst of designing our new bathroom for when we renovate it in six months time. It’s going to be massive and feature a deep two person bath and a two person shower with dual shower heads. There will also be two basins so that …
We’re having twins! I can’t believe it! My husband and I have been trying for a baby for almost a year now and we can finally tell everyone that we’re having not one, but two children! We are over the moon and are so ready to start our family together. The day I found out …
I am working right now and absolutely freezing. No joke, my teeth are chattering and my coworkers can hear it. I’m wearing a coat, two jumpers, a long sleeve top and a thermal, and I’m still cold. Our office is made of concrete and doesn’t retain any heat. To make matters worse, our heater doesn’t …
I got my first tattoo when I was fourteen years of age. It was a “stick n poke” done by my friend in her garage whilst her parents weren’t home. It got infected, obviously, and I had to tell my mum what had happened a while later so that she could take me to the …
I absolutely love food. It brings people together, it tastes delicious, it’s a science and it’s something fun to do. When I think about it, almost all of my plans for catching up with friends involve food. Maybe we’ll go out for brunch, or we’ll have a taco night or we’ll have some wine and …
Look, on a very visceral level, I did enjoy The Guise of Guy-Stalker. It was bold to end the entire Space Battles saga, all eight film, on a more tacit depiction of one man’s obsession with a legendary filmmaker, and all the disguises he dons to get close to him after the multiple restraining orders. …
My family and I just moved into an old house in a nice suburb. The house is quite different and not in a good way. We are planning to knock it down once the money from the sale of our old house comes through. I think that’ll be a couple of months. I hope it’s …
Living in Melbourne means encountering traffic almost everywhere you go. You’d be hard pressed to drive ten minutes down the road without sitting in traffic at least once. It’s a bit of a nightmare, to be honest. In some places it could take you twenty minutes to drive somewhere a mere two kilometres away. Sometimes …
