I’m very proud… of my bar

I’ve been a very good and diligent girl at restocking the beloved home bar. Each fortnight I’d buy one or two bottles to bring it back up to speed. Everybottle pictured here is full or at least half full. Very excited. I even bought some Johnny Walker to entice Wendy back down to visit :) [...]

Thoughts of… my appearance

01:09AM | April 25, 2007 | 4 comments

Apparently as we age we gain an exception of ourselves and come to the realisation that we do not have the body and hold the appearance of those skinny girls in DOLLY magazines. I think I’m slowly getting there… I’m happy about how I turned out. My weight was obviously self inflicted and can and [...]

Shitty Weather… silver lining…

Thats the forecast for today… obviously not one nationally televised but the truth all the same. The weather last night was AWESOME. It was the closest I’ve come to a N.T. storm in AGES.

I’m all for religion if that is what you seek but I believe it’s a personal choice. Something that shouldn’t be imposed upon you at your door at 9am on a monday morning when I am still in my dressing gown… I now have a sign on my door to redirect them to anyone else [...]
