I love the fact that although I have lived in Melbourne all my life, there are still things I am discovering that I had no idea existed…and this is one of them. The Federation Bells consist of 39 bronze bells created to celebrate the centenary of Australia’s federation in 2001. Both the bells, and Birrarung […]
Last week started well with two days off…but ended with both my husband and I sick with this stupid virus. So I admit there were a couple of days that I did get dressed, took a photo…and then collapsed on the couch again. I do find it very hard to sit still and do nothing […]
I am a newbie when it comes to op shopping…or thrifting as it is known elsewhere. I have always been aware of op shops from a y0ung age as my parents used to have regular clean outs and our unwanted clothes, toys etc where taken to the local charity shop. But I have never thought […]
I love technology and always keep an eye out for any new gadgets that are being developed. This one appeared in my Facebook feed this morning, and it has got me rather excited about it’s potential.

My husband started to get the sniffles a week ago…now he is sick in bed with a temperature. Trouble with him is that he thinks he is invincible…he survived a life threatening condition and […]
Back in April 2013, a new crime writer appeared and released his first book, The Cuckoo’s Calling, to great reviews. About 1500 books were sold and then the word got out….he was actually a she….a very famous she! Robert Galbraith is actually an pseudonym of J.K. Rowling…yes, as in Harry Potter. This series of fictional […]
