It has been a really busy week for us. Sam has been attending reviews and planning meetings all week, while I have been wavering between mild and severe pain in my neck, head and muscles.
I took Monday off to sleep and visit the chiropractor. If anyone in the inner-west region is looking for a good [...]

Today Miranda Devine wrote about the madness of critics in relation to the Aboriginal community issue, capping off a war of words between those who believe the government are right to go into these areas with police force, in opposition to those who claim they are using the situation to advance on Aboriginal territory.
I’ve been [...]

Sam just bought me an iTunes gift card so I can update my iPod.
Currently I have a lot of U2, Skunkhour, Michael Franti, Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Nelly Furtado (her old stuff), Crazy P, Scissor Sisters, John Mayer, Joss Stone, Leonardo’s Bride, The Cardigans, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Maroon 5. I’ve been listening to [...]

I like reading trashy women’s magazines.
I never buy them because I can’t really justify the $4, but I have a habit of leafing through them when I’m waiting in a very long check-out counter, or waiting for the train at central to pull up. It’s not that I’m obsessed with the ins and outs of [...]

This morning I went along to a South Sydney diocese training morning in the city. It was an interesting time – especially since the main feature of the morning was watching a DVD feature Bill Hybels speaking at his annual ‘leadership summit‘. I think I’ll do a ‘penta-post‘ of my thoughts on the [...]

Now we only know 4 couples who are pregnant – my sister has now given birth to a healthy young boy. Congratulations guys. Can’t wait to meet our new friend!

Pregnancy is in the air at the moment, and not just because of this season’s unflattering smock dresses. Sam and I have at least five friends who are pregnant – including his lovely sisters – and more who have just had a baby.
I’m not the clucky type, I can never understand what tiny children are [...]

I love my slow-cooker. If I were ever asked that annoying “what three things would you save if your house was on fire” question, I would definitely save my Sunbeam slow-cooker, along with my laptop and Helen Garner’s The First Stone, which I’m reading at the moment.
I love it because it makes cooking while working [...]

I’ve never actually added any content to youtube before – but I thought I’d have a go this afternoon as I had a little free time. I put up two videos – both of coffee. The first is of some beans I just received from Lovell Roasters (I’m very impressed) coming through our machine. The [...]

Lot’s of people seem be putting up links to their latte art, so I thought I’d join the party. Any feedback coffee people? It’s made on a single espresso only, because I don’t like to drink too much coffee – so it probably could be darker if I went double ristretto. Tasted sensational – just [...]
