Farewell to the Blog

It’s the end for me, my curtain call! I’m moving on the blog, and Adelaide itself for a while. It’s bittersweet, because I am excited about new things and new opportunities, while I’m also going to miss the friends and networks I’ve built here.

Sunday Scheduling

I love scheduling. It helps with my mental health and my psychologist’s much-stressed delight in ‘living in the moment’.

Have an Eco-Friendly Summer!

The sun’s out, the fire ban is set to high. The beaches are scorching wastelands; soup is out and fish & chips are in. You like your coffees cold and milky, preferably with a generous scoop of ice-cream. It’s summer. The time of sunburn and sunglasses and other sun-related items. Here are some tips to […]
