Archive for the ‘on my family’ Category

So, it’s been a while since I last blogged, and I want to apologise for that. I have about 10 things to blog about, and they’re sitting in a list on my desk. I don’t even know where to begin, but I thought I’d do a shout-out to Cory who emailed me about [...]

I figured that since everyone else was doing one (well, Yani and Sunshine, but they’re everyone) so will I.
Christmas is that time of year I’d rather not have. Shops are packed, it’s hot, my car rego is due, it’s hot, presents are expensive, not to mention that it’s hot. We also do a [...]

Many people in Australia are aware of the fight going on with the 71 refugees and the Oceanic Viking. A terrible tale of the inactivity of our government, the inherent racism of the population in so many cases, and the lack of suitable welcoming strategies.

It’s been a little while since I blogged due to EXTREME busy-ness. Before you think I’ve gone mad, no, I haven’t started doing work for my PhD… that would imply some path towards finishing, and we all know that can’t happen. No, it’s been more a case of things to be done, places [...]

I’ve been busy these past few days, so I thought I’d do a mass update post! Yay!
The Party
I do love a good party, and usually I just go along to them and play host while the actual host sits and chats. This time, it was my turn to actually host, and now that I [...]

No doubt if you have been following my blog for the past few weeks, you’ve seen that I’ve moved out and it’s been quite stressful for me.
