I am tired (2/100)

Welcome to Day 2 of 100 Day Writing Challenge!

I had a very strange evening last night. I found a burst of energy from somewhere, and stayed up working till 3am. It felt like a tremendously clever life hack at the time, but of course I am paying the price for it today. It is 7:30pm, and I am tired. Can’t got to bed though, because I have my weekly movie date with my Swiss friend, and today we are watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, in light of it being Halloween tomorrow.


I am working on an essay about love, which I hope to have posted by the end of the week. Love has been a lot on my mind, between my friends’ adventures and my own new relationship. I have always known that I have a very specific, unusual take on romance, love, relationships and partnerships but it is only recently that I have embraced my unique approach. I thought I would put down in writing, but as soon as I tried I realised I am not nearly as clear on my dating philosophy as I thought I was. Writing is really the gift that keeps on giving, though. The more I wrote and refined the essay, the more insight I was able to gather, and the clearer I became about my relationship goals. Writing that essay was like a month of Sundays in therapy. Highly recommend writing about things you are not totally clear about. I will post the essay on this blog soon (I hope).


I am having a self-discipline problem, but I am not going to be too harsh on myself because I am only working on 3 hours of sleep today. But tomorrow better be a productive, stellar day because I seem to have taken much more time off work this week than time spent actually working.


I went to my local market this past Saturday and spent some time browsing through the used book stall. I didn’t buy anything (too many unread books!) but I was taken down memory lane by many of the books displayed. Some of these were mega bestsellers when I was a kid (such simpler times!). These days I don’t read nearly enough books, but that doesn’t mean I have lost my love for them. I am still torn about whether I want a mega floor-to-ceiling bookshelf in my house. On the one hand, it collects dust and no-one re-reads books. Plus it will cost a fortune to actually fill it. On the other hand…books!

Thanks for reading,

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!
