I’m off to Europe for the first time in my life. Be back on 1 November. Till then, it’ll just be a camera, my Moleskine, a couple of black pens and me. Can’t wait.
My youngest sister Jessie is currently studying in Melbourne to become a vet. She’s loved animals for as long as I can remember, even though she doesn’t seem to have much luck with them.
Since beginning her course, part of which involves placement work in farms, she’s fallen off a horse, been kicked by another [...]
The boys and I are having supper at McDonald’s one night.
A: Watching Friday Night Lights makes me want to play American football.
B: Ya, I know what you mean. Watching 30 Rock makes me want to work on a TV show too.
Me: Watching Lipstick Jungle makes me want to go shopping!

MA called just as I was leaving the office to say she could see one, but it wasn’t until I was a couple of kilometres en route that I finally saw it. I was so excited I took a picture with my mobile phone while moving along slowly, trying to hold my hand steady, [...]

I was lounging in bed watching a DVD when a call came asking if I wanted to meet up with friends for a drink. I said yes, rolled out of bed [...]
I was putting on a pair of jeans to go out for dinner earlier when Y commented, “I don’t like that pair of jeans.”
It was the second time in a week that we’d disagreed on an item of clothing. On Wednesday, I’d wanted to buy a necklace but Y hadn’t liked that one either. [...]
I used to have a list of things I wanted to achieve before I was 30. It was short and not all achievable, but still manageable because this obsessive list-maker hated lists she couldn’t tick off.
Then the boys adopted the idea of coming up with a 100 list – 100 things they wanted [...]
