Hair
It seems like a small thing to think about when you’ve recently had a cancer diagnosis: hair. With my tumour gone, and the doctors assuming the disease is cured, I’m about to embark on the adjuvant therapy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. These are all designed to reduce the chance of my cancer returning, […]
Update and whatnot
Hi folks! I just want to say, thanks for sticking around and being here to read my little blog. I haven’t been writing as much lately; I guess it’s one of those things that has taken a backseat whilst I get on with life. I’ve never intended to be a professional blogger, but writing this […]
Monte’s 40th
I met Monte when he was 16. I was 15. We were rowing at our private schools (eyeroll, so stereotypical) and we met at a Head of the River after party. He didn’t want my phone number, he said we’d see each other at the Nationals in QLD the following weekend. He ended up chasing […]
Curry Carrot Soup
People have asked me what I have been doing to lose weight. My response is pretty standard. There are no secrets. I’m just trying to eat less.

He’s enjoying the challenges of his new role, as well as the opportunities to travel. He went to Edinburgh […]

Saying goodbye
I don’t think that the slaughtering of our animals for meat is very pleasant. I really like our animals, and when we had Daisy slaughtered last week, I couldn’t help feeling a bit sad. Daisy was born here, and over the past three years I’ve loved watching her grow and graze the property. I loved […]
Jade
I think I promised to write about the bunnies, but as I look through the camera roll on my phone, I can’t find any photos of them. Instead, I can see lots of photos of our new kitten, Jade. I had been thinking of getting another cat for quite a while. I’ve been missing Naigee, […]
