Just Another Day In Sydney: March 2014
http://catrionaling.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Just Another Day In Sydney. Thursday, March 27, 2014. Facebook - Friend or Foe. Call me the Queen of Procrastinators on the blogging front, I don’t think I can even claim to have Writer’s Block, as that implies you have got out of the starting blocks instead of fiddling about at the start claiming that you need to tie your shoe laces and style your hair before you line up. Realise how difficult life is for my teenage daughters in today’s immediate world of posts and tweets. No one ever puts up a sad phot...

Just Another Day In Sydney. Thursday, February 13, 2014. Valentine's Day Massacre - Knives at dawn. It was knives at dawn in our household in a somewhat new rendering of the Valentine’s Day spirit. We are not big on Valentine’s Day and to be honest Husband can usually count himself lucky to receive the type of bent and mangled tasteless card that is the only thing left at 8pm on the 13. When true to form I suddenly remember I am supposed to have succumbed to romantic fervour. As light dawned, and alarm c...

Just Another Day In Sydney. Wednesday, June 19, 2013. I like plain speaking doctors, it is always useful to be clear about what the issue is, and after all what’s wrong with the odd word like ‘Fat’ when bandied about between friends? Age Warts - Pah! Like these Kookaburras I laugh in the face of them. Just Another Day in Sydney. Saturday, June 1, 2013. Vivid - The Light Fantastic. 8216;Vivid’ the Sydney Festival of Light, Music and Ideas, that is now into it’s 5. I say lyrical, even though it is more app...

Just Another Day In Sydney: October 2013

Just Another Day In Sydney. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. Different sides of the street - which side do you walk? One of the things I have loved about living in different countries is the writing and books you discover. I can still remember sitting in the Rye Free Reading Room, reading Wally Lamb’s “I Know This Much Is True.” and just going ‘WOW’. Likewise Australia has been a delight in terms of introducing me to authors such as Tim Winton, Kate Grenville, Peter Temple and Craig Silvey. Having decided st...

Just Another Day In Sydney. Tuesday, January 29, 2013. The Mothering Test - On your marks for back to school. Forget Australia Day that falls on January 26. Every year, there’s only one thing the last week of January means in Sydney – the start of the new school year and the crunch test for Mothers everywhere – the Back to School exam season. Here is a general outline of the type of test that I sit and fail at the start of each year. Are they a) still at the cleaners necessitating my jumping up and down ...

Just Another Day In Sydney: November 2013

Just Another Day In Sydney. Monday, November 18, 2013. The proof of the Christmas pudding is ? The weather in Sydney over the last few days has been drear, dreich and generally wet, wet, wet. Given that last week I was skipping along the beach glorying in spectacular sunshine this is particularly irritating. If only you'd been here last week! Weather aside I did in fact have the most fabulous weekend. Given my culinary skills this would normally have me running for the hills and in fact I have to own up ...

Just Another Day In Sydney. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Pants Off New Year. The whole episode led to a number of interesting observations:. Let me know – which side of the night-time knicker line do you fall? Also very grateful if anyone has an answer to the question, why do Australian boys and men under the age of 30 wear underwear under their boardshorts when they swim? Just Another Day in Sydney.

Just Another Day In Sydney. Sunday, March 24, 2013. From Spam to Sublime. Hard to think of a circumstance that involves Spam, in either the edible or electronic form, in which my heart is going to leap with joy. I should also note that most of my family would argue that Spam should not actually be classified as edible, particularly in the form of Spam sandwiches. It is a pity I can’t motivate myself to extend this electronic clearing out frenzy into my domestic arena. Every time I open the larder cupboar...

Just Another Day In Sydney. Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Caitlin Moran - blazing like a comet? Sometimes though people and topics are like comets, you have never heard of them and then suddenly they appear on the horizon, unannounced, and then keep reappearing in a flood of sparks and twinkles and this is the unlikely role that Caitlin Moran the UK columnist and broadcaster, has taken up in my life. 8221;, but bits of her writing have stayed with me which for me is always the sign of a good book. And APPALL...

Just Another Day In Sydney. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. Move over Nigella - and just be grateful for the marmalade. I do definitely buy into the concept of a gratitude diary and the shift in your thinking produced by just trying to be mindful of the things that make you happy and lift your day. One of my Christmas presents was in fact a real life Gratitude Diary – who says stationery companies can’t spot and flog a trend? Drama Queens 2 and 3 and I were in fact all arguing in. The car this morning as to who ...
