Melbourne is freezing
Not in recent memory, nor in the 22ish years that I called Melbourne home, can I recall such hideous weather. I guess I’ve been lucky?! I arrived on Friday evening and got up early on Saturday to go for a … Continue reading

Happiest of Fridays!
Happy Friday to you my friend! Today is a particularly happy Friday for me because I am working half a day and by the time you read this I will be hurtling through the sky at 30,000 feet in a … Continue reading
30 thoughts I had during yesterday’s run
I’m regretting signing up for a 10km and a 12km ‘fun’ run in August… 1. I’m just going to do 10km today, no biggie. 2. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. 3. Why is this SO unnatural? 4. My hip … Continue reading

Dinner for 6 and learning what ‘sous-vide’ means
Last night my chef friend Zach trialled a pop-up dinner for 6 and I was lucky enough to be one of the ‘guinea pigs’ on the receiving end of gourmet foodz. Zach and his parents are behind the most delicious … Continue reading
Deconstructed Rice Paper Roll Salad
Before I got into the habit of prepackaged soup for lunch every day, I used to be pretty darn great at making my lunch. Mostly because I love food but I am also really stingy when it comes to buying it … Continue reading
