What? Doesn’t this fill your heart with joy and your mouth with eagerness? Really? Sheesh. Sweet bitty-lucking fries, these photos are driving me crazy with desire — and the real thing is only about two metres away from me. I spent an hour or so after lunch yesterday with M and my Mumini following the [...]

Which is not without its rewards.
Addison’s disease is an odd beast, and learning to dance with it is a slow and clumsy process. Problems can come on so quickly that you hardly have time to compensate with your meds, or they can come on so [...]
It’s been a domestic weekend. The house has been cleaned and aired out, the fridge is stuffed with groceries, the washing up has vanished, and I even folded up and put away all the washed clothes, instead of leaving them in the basket on top of the washing machine to be rifled through like some [...]
Also tagged awesomeWe found a new bread recipe! Incredibly easy, and slooooooow. Slow like Sunday afternoons. Slow like syrup. Slow like me learning how to use Gimp. Slow like committee meetings. Slow like bank queues. Slow like dial-up internet.
M discovered the recipe, although I’m afraid that it’s a New York Times link, which can be a be [...]
We were staying with some family the other day, and marvelling at the glorious grapevine that framed the back porch. An ancient and revered plant, whose presence is a testament to our passionate commitment to wine and whose grapes really suck arse, it was shaken up a bit recently when the back porch was remodelled: [...]
Also tagged awesomeI’m on a health kick today. My health kicks are lucky to last a whole day, let alone a week. Today I’m roasting capsicums, making dolmades (awesome) and eating salads and fruit.
Check out my lunchtime smoothie – soy milk, half a banana, strawberries and a fistful of frozen blueberries:
The colour of healthy is purple.

This morning, during the day’s ritual net-trawl, M discovered this link: Easy Butter, and, well, it’s just wonderful. I’ve never been much of a butter eater — I don’t dislike it, but I’ve never had butter or margarine on my toast or sandwiches, so I [...]
Today’s post comes from the “Holy crap it worked!” file.
First “Holy crap it worked!”: This weekend M and I bought a gazebo. Not a cemented-in, static gazebo, but a poles-and-mesh job from the hardware shop that dismantles and packs away into a convenient carry case. We were meeting some friends for a picnic by the [...]
While relaxing in my contemporary art-deco distressed-wood-floorboard gazebo-adorned lighthouse mansion, I often take some time to have a cup of coffee and browse the intermowebs. It’s important to keep up with what the regular people are doing, don’t you think?
The search for the perfect boiled egg seems to continue to wrack humanity’s finest minds. This [...]
When I was in primary school, ordering my lunch from the canteen was incredibly exciting. Our system was that you put your lunch money in an envelope and wrote on the front what you wanted for lunch, as well as your name and what class you were in. You dropped this off at the canteen [...]
