Lost dogs, scary movies and photography

Welcome to Day 3 of the 100 Day Challenge, and happy Halloween!

I fell asleep watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last night, but caught up this evening. I didn’t fall asleep because the movie was bad, but because I was exhausted. It has been a strange week, where I have been busy, but not productive. It’s annoying, and it needs to change.


I think I am becoming addicted to walking! Six months ago I did zero exercise, but this week I have already walked 15km and am craving more. It’s now also my go-to methodology for quick problem solving. When I am stuck on something, I want to just put on my trekking shoes and go walk it out. It works. I walk to music, a podcast or just silence, depending on my mood and the goal. I find it a perfect time to get lost in daydreams, and hopes for an ideal future. I try to take at least some of my walking time to imagine living my perfect day, and hope that that helps it manifest soon!


I rescued a dog from certain death today. It ran out the gate as the owner was driving out, and followed the car down a very busy road. The owner was oblivious to the whole thing, but luckily I managed to coax the dog into my car before it was driven over. The owner literally cried at handover. My good deed for the day.


I need to up my photography! This needs to be a two-prong approach. first, I need to take more photographs. I should probably set myself a goal of taking 10 photos per day, at least. Secondly, I need to know how to make them good! Right now they are pathetic at best, and that doesn’t help with content creation. I am going to try to do better tomorrow. And while I am at it, I might as well also take some selfies. I have so few photographs of myself.

I have a newsletter!
It lands in your inbox on Saturdays, and is filled with fun links, stories, book and movie recommendations, my wild thoughts, a bit of pop psychology, a bit of inspo lifestyle, and a whole lot of “so this is midlife!” kind of stuff :-)

I welcome a challenge (1/100)

In my most recent newsletter I wrote about Zac’s 100 day challenge (he’s creating and posting 100 days of YouTube shorts), which inspired my friend Laura to do her own 100 days, which of course then inspired me to do the same ….and here we are.

Rare day out

Honestly, it’s near impossible to get this child to find some free time to spend with us. And then to get her to pose for a photo! Miracle of miracles.

Catching the rays

It’s hardly winter, but the air is getting crispier and cooler, and so Lisa looks for any ray of sunlight …and then hogs it. I’m just here to take the photos!

A Mother’s Day treat

Took myself out for a custard slice and a whipped cream cappuccino. Kids were at home, so had some peace and quiet. A win-win!

Another notebook

Maybe one day I will have enough notebooks, but to day is not the day. Isn’t this one gorgeous? It also has a glossy finish, which makes it even better. And its a blank. Perfection!
