I’m going to go ahead and admit that sometimes I can be a teensy tiny bit paranoid. Like when I’m walking home alone at night and someone is walking behind me, I just assume they are planning on murdering me, so I phone Gerry and run all the way home. Which is pretty normal….right? Anyway…

19) Sneaky Summer Flu
Summer is finally in the air! The birds are singing, the flowers are growing, the baby lambs are getting fat and tasty looking! The winter jackets are put away, jumpers discarded, scarves already long forgotten in the back of the wardrobe. Those pasty winter legs are shaved and displayed for all to see! The days…
18) Mini break!
Mini break Bridget Jones style, without a cheating Hugh Grant and comical bunny ears of course. So we dropped the guinea pig off at the babysitters and me and Gerry set off to Christchurch for the weekend. We’ve been together for over 2 years, lived in Darwin, Melbourne and Queenstown together and yet this was…
17) FML
I kept getting a whiff of something that smelled really nice today, I could smell it as I walked to work, I could smell it around certain customers. I could suddenly smell it really strongly off one man, I thought to myself ‘he smells amazing! Slightly feminine but still really good’, but then I walked…
16) The Hunger Demon
It crept up on me as it always does, there was no warning, there was no time to prepare for it. I had just worked a long shift, it was busy so there was no time for a break, no time for a snack or a breather. My shift finally ended and instead of staying…
15) A Very Hungover Thursday
Today I am very hungover so this blog is being written from underneath a blanket on my couch where I have set up camp for the next few hours. There are 5 main types of hangover (that I can think of right now). 1) The What The Hell Happened Hangover. This is a gaping black…
14) Say Cheese
After a stressful week last week of visa forms and being rejected by immigration, this week I had a nice quiet money-saving-my-god-how-am-I-so-broke-I’m-going-to-turn-into-a-hermit-until-my-bank-balance-is-out-of-the-ICU kind of a week so all I really did was go to work and play with my new camera. Therefore I have no stories to tell but here’s some snaps from this week…
12) My week in short stories
Bought a bag of worms at the gardening center, had a chat with the lady who worked there about how theyr amazing for compost. She gave me lots of composting tips. She also gave me lots of baby worms that are apparently amazing for compost. I didn’t have the heart to tell her they were…
11) The Fear
It’s the Monday morning after a Sunday session birthday bash on a boat so I am obviously curled up in bed with a large bottle of water and reheated pizza for breakfast. I’m feeling slightly fragile and have no intention of moving from under this blanket since I have no work today and the torrential…
10) All grown up!
I’m dedicating this blog post to my little sister as congratulations on having her first proper grown up job after graduating from university! Years and years ago when we were young and the world was an oyster etc etc, Amy couldn’t decide what she wanted to do when she was older so I…
