I’m usually a daily blogger but I’ve just been feeling too guilty blogging about our happy little life down here in Sydney at a time when people have lost lives, homes, animals and livelihoods. And it’s not just people who live in country towns, we’re talking about people living in or around one of Australia’s capital cities. It’s […]

Well, the holidays are definitely over here. There are orders to get out, doctors appointments, visitors, retro daddy working his usual long hours and heading off interstate and then there is the housework to catch up on.
