I have to admit, I am glad September is over…there was plenty of good things that happened, but for the last couple of weeks, I also felt the sickest I have for ages. Which meant I really struggled with publishing a post every day but I did it…another reminder to always have a few drafts […]

For the first time ever, the day before one of the biggest sporting events of the year has been made a public holiday, giving us Victorians a lovely long weekend. There has been a lot of fuss about this new public holiday, especially from small businesses who are doing it tough enough as it is. […]

By Sarah in General, Melbourne, Music Tags: buskers, Live music, Melbourne, Mixed Up Everything
Both my husband and I are musicians, and we love live music…so we always keep an ear out when in the city to find what buskers are out performing…and this particular group has become our favourite! Mixed Up Everything is a band consisting of four brothers, aged 16, 14, 13 and 11…but don’t be deceived […]

Pentridge used to be a notorious prison in Melbourne…Coburg to be exact. Built in 1851, Pentridge housed Victoria’s worst criminals…the very worst… I remember going there when it was first opened to the public after it closed in May, 1997…it was eerie and creepy, but strangely fascinating. I can still remember chills when going into […]

I have been writing this blog for almost two years…it has become a part of our lives…my daily routine. My topics are varied….very varied…sometimes I don’t even know what my post for the day will be until an hour or two before my preferred publishing time. I write about what I have read, the outfits […]

I am not sure if this is unique to Australia, but when spring arrives, certain birds across this country of ours get a little overprotective of their area. Meet the Australian Magpie… When I was growing up, my Nan had a whole magpie family who she used to feed…there was one that used to even […]
A Morning on My Own

Today I did something I have not done for ages…I spent the morning on my own in the city. My husband had a rehearsal so kindly dropped me off at 9am and I had until 12.30pm to do whatever I wanted! I much prefer having someone with me…especially when vintage shopping as I like having […]
