Happy Anniversary
It was a beautiful spring day today. the warm sun, so long denied us warmed my back as I set about putting my neglected garden in order. Well pulled a few weeds anyway. It is a satisfying thing to see a well swept back passage and no, that is not a...
Wellington Dam overflows
How cool is that? A rare sight in recent years…...
Milestones
It’s Groover’s birthday today and I bought him a… Food processor. He wanted one! Happy birthday darling – can’t wait to taste the results. Also tonight Dipp got the results from her recent karate grading. She had a tr...
Hair today, gone tomorrow
It cost $20 over the internet, it’s stripey - a bit like my old ginger tom cat, Samson, in fact it even looks a little bit like a little animal curled on his scone - it twinkles in a “I’m made of synthetic materials” way in ...
Smug satisfaction
It’s a little bit embarrassing to admit this but I feel a little kernel of smug satisfaction when I’m right… and Groover’s wrong. Take the other day. We were on our way down south (for our 19th anniversary meeting getaway). ...
We are all in the gutter
A guest post from Groover: It was Oscar Wilde who penned the line, “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars”. It’s a favourite of mine, along with many other Wilde quotes, but to me it perfectly describes t...
What retirement could be
I took this photo on our normal Saturday morning Cottesloe walk which is fast becoming a tradition for Groover and me. Could this couple be us in 40 years time? It’s kind of a scary and sweet thought mixed together…...
Behind every successful man…
I read/heard recently (now who said it - was it Gerry Ryan?) is a very surprised woman. I love that line… but I digress. At the moment in Redsultanaland we are going through a bit of change - Groover is leaving his last job to go into business ...
White elephants and minstrels
Today I found it really difficult to get up. I don’t think it was the late night - it wasn’t that late. I went to see Rachel Berger at the Regal Theatre - which was fun because she got the entire audience to come up on stage - publici...
A Groovy Chef - Just like Gordon Ramsey
Just like Gordon Ramsey… with less wrinkles and less hair. And less swearing. Happy Birthday Groover! My own. My chef!...
Teaching the boy to cook
Isn’t bolognese the easiest thing to cook? It’s my go to dish when I really can’t be bothered. The kids will eat it - it doesn’t take long or too many ingredients. Well the other night my son walked past me as I was choppi...
Taking rainbows for granted
Guest post from Groover There is an old proverb which says “The best place to hide a leaf is in a forest”. In other words, a nice way to say: “sometimes we fail to notice the things that are right under our nose”. I met a ne...
Is it worth queuing for Yum Cha?
Yep. I think so. I don’t like queuing for food - hell - I don’t even know how to spell it - here’s hoping that’s correct - so when we got to the Northbridge Chinese restaurant on Sunday an hour after opening I was somewhat d...
The chicken of discontent
This is our bed. Pretty ordinary. You’ll note the second duvet as required by the freezing cold mornings lately. What I see when I look at this bed is that Groover is not angry with me. I’m in his good books. So what is the sign that...
And the smallest planet is?
Out of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune? Yes like me you knew it was Neptune. You probably also knew it was Tasman who discovered a number of Pacific islands in the 1600s - unlike me. In the end it didn’t matter - WE WON! Oh you’ve gu...
