Today was a two coffee day, actually a two coffee morning! And that made it a good day. Catching up with a friend for coffee at a café progressed to us checking out a couple of shops close by. That then led to the need to pause and what better place than another café with another… Continue reading A Tale of Two Coffees

The Unexpected Guests
Two sparrows joined me for coffee the other day. They flew into the café I was at, found a table with the remnants of a long black on it and lingered a while. I didn't realise that sparrows like coffee, mind you who wouldn't?! They were happy, cute and unexpected guests as I partook of… Continue reading The Unexpected Guests
Driving Blind
Driving home from work on a dark and stormy night is not the easiest ride. Visibility is poor. Conditions hard. Add to that driving in an unfamiliar car and you've got yourself a complicated trip home. Tonight, I had all the elements. I was driving our new car and I realised that I had not made… Continue reading Driving Blind
The continuing saga of Lego Batman
Yes, the journeys of Lego Batman continues in my household! And this time it included his sidekick Robin! You'd think that I'd have been more vigilant. And you're right - I have been. Lego Batman does not get to go on outings with my 3 year old anymore. I now add a disclaimer - the outings… Continue reading The continuing saga of Lego Batman

GOSSIP - A person who habitually reveals personal or sensational facts about others.

The Attack of the Ants
I'm waging a war against ants in my household! And I am not sure I am winning. In fact I'm pretty sure I'm not. Ants seem to be everywhere! One solitary pea left on the floor attracts a whole nest of them, one drop of juice left in glass over night means the bench is covered… Continue reading The Attack of the Ants
The Unintentional Destination
Have you ever been driving a car and realise you can't remember how you got there? Or worse still, like me, you are heading for one destination, yet find yourself heading somewhere entirely different. I did it on the way to work once - found myself on the road to the local mall! Hmm, must… Continue reading The Unintentional Destination

Distraction in Disguise
I've taken to watching "The Voice Australia". The "battles" have started as 2 singers are pitted against other, singing the one song. At the end of it the Judges select one contestants to go through to the next stage. This week, two very different singers were paired for their battle. The first was incredibly extroverted and confident. She had an… Continue reading Distraction in Disguise
Detours
There seems to be road works on all sides of us at the moment. Roads are closed and detours put in place on two of the routes we use frequently. Ironically, on one of the detour routes there were further disruptions due to road works occurring on the detour road! Not that the boys minded as… Continue reading Detours
