So, after swanning around Magnetic Island on the Providence, and staring out at a marina full of lovely boats for six days from our apartment, we’ve come back home to our view of the Bay with a hankering for a boat again. There is a massive expanse of coastal waterways to explore on our doorstep, […]
I present to you one beautiful bride, and declare my bias straight away because she is my daughter. After all the planning, the logistics of getting a wedding party, dresses, table decs, luggage, travel cot and pram, boxes of cakes, those bloody DIY lollipop bouquets, and the geriatric rellies, from BrisVegas to Townsville, and then […]

Written misunderstandings: My first name is……..Dawn. There should […]

Are we nearly there yet? Apparently not. This week has passed in a bit of a blur; Tuesday was a real doozey with a 2,500 word essay due at 4pm and a 5.45 pm two hour exam. I will never, ever, ever be mean about students again. I’m a grown up person (most of the […]
