the chill

We have been chugg chugg chugging along and slipping into a winter rhythm that involves cookies, soup and warmth. Our house is known to be slightly chilly in these winter months (although a cool [...]

close to home

We stayed close to home today and stayed away from Woolworths (I actually managed to venture there by myself which is always so much easier and so much quicker). Che is doing better and apart [...]

In a rather serendipitous series of events Daniel and I managed to spend a night in Sydney together. As a couple. For the first time since Ché was born (exactly two-and-a-half years ago today). [...]
