This grey dress with angular folds by PAUW is lovely and warm to wear, making it perfect for Melbourne winters. Then again, I suppose it ought to be when it is a wool/cashmere blend. The wool factor might be ‘scratchy’ for some, but it’s never really bothered me when it comes to clothing. Its belt is…
I’ve been vlogging my monthly reading piles for a while (September, August, July, May), but I’m not going to this month. The reason for this is simple: I simply cannot trust myself not to cry while trying to describe A Monster Calls. A brief blurb: Conor’s mother is sick, very sick, and it appears the…
Officially titled ‘The Evolution of Movie Dance (100 Greatest Dance Scenes 1921 – 2010)’ I can’t help but add one more. Kim Novak + William Holden in Picnic. Rawr. (Don’t panic, it goes fuzzy at 11 secs but comes good at 18 secs.)
This one will be a bit of a squeeeeze at the moment. Must. Start. Running. Again. I can’t believe it’s October. October 1st. Three years since Surprise! was officially released. Amazing.

I sweated a lot over this restaurant selection, considering our – how shall I say it? – unexpected trip a few weeks ago. We didn’t want to drive all the way into the city either,…
You might remember when I blogged about the piano we hired back in July. Well, our mandatory lease period is almost up and we need to decide what we’re going to do next. Send it back? Extend the lease? Buy it outright? To make the decision a little easier, the answer is ‘no’ on the…
Missing: Her First Tooth. Lost: Between this tweet and this one. {Clarification: Shortly after 7pm, as we were all watching television together.} Emotional Reaction: [Hers] Pride and excitement [Mine] Same, with an added twinge of the Oh My God, She’s Getting Older/Bigger’s. Age: Almost 7.5 years (the last in the class to lose their first…
Welcome to the new Miscellaneous Mum! We made it! I know I went on about some technical issues during the week, but let me give you a bit more information: I began using the WordPress Thesis theme in the middle of last year, modifying its look and framework to the best my modest skills allowed….
