Just over a couple of weeks ago, we lost our beloved furry boy…our Bill…and our hearts broke… We knew he had kidney disease due to old age plus some dementia, but he was doing ok. We decided to go away to the coast for the weekend, but in the few hours it took to get […]

By Sarah in General, Health Tags: Meet Graham, road safety, TAC, Towards Zero
Last weekend, we met the weirdest looking person ever…Graham. Now before you think I am being horribly mean, he is the TAC’s latest road safety project…Graham is what we would look like if we were built to survive on our roads.

Happy birthday to our littlest furkid, the famous Miss Charlotte! Five years ago you came into the world, and joined our little family a couple of months after.

By Sarah in General, Stationary Tags: colouring in, diary, financial year diary, kiki k, mindful
I am somewhat of a stationary geek….I love pens and notebooks. Which means I also love getting a new diary…something satisfying yet exciting about opening a diary to a new year. For some reason, I prefer what we call financial year diaries…I think the equivalent would be academic year diaries overseas. I like getting that […]

After months of planning with my hairdresser, last Saturday was finally the big day. I first came to see Lexi as a dark mahogany red and although I loved the colour, I craved change…a new look. So she gradually stepped up the colour over many months…working through red through to a copper shade. I loved […]

Today marks another milestone…it’s my husband’s birthday. It is significant because it is another year that he wouldn’t have seen if he hadn’t had a much needed liver transplant. He barely made it to his 40th birthday….he felt and looked terrible. Very jaundiced and so tired all the time, his body was slowly giving in […]
Melbourne Tea Festival 2016
By Sarah in General, Melbourne, Tea 1 Comment Tags: Melbourne, Melbourne Tea Festival, tea, tea leaves
Sometimes I think that my husband and I are the only tea drinkers in this city…so many cafes/restaurants spend lots of care and attention on coffee, and then chuck a cheap teabag in a cup for those who dare to ask for a cup of tea. But today proved that there are plenty of fellow […]
