Sam and I were crazy party animals last night. So crazy that after eating dinner while watching Idol, we decided to watch a late night DVD. That’s right. We started a movie at 9:20pm on a Sunday night. And we left the washing piled up in the sink. I told you – crazy party animals right [...]

It’s been known for a while that Rupert Murdoch is planning to start charging a fee for access to News Ltd’s online content (Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph, The Australian), but now it seems Fairfax may follow suit after the company posted a net loss of $380 million.

My all time favourite breakfast is a big bowl of museli with light milk, topped with crushed almonds, sliced strawberries, bananas, fresh dates, honey and a big dollop of greek yoghurt - accompanied by a flat white and the saturday paper.
My all time favourite breakfast is not vegemite on burnt toast, scoffed while racing out the door to [...]
