My mother has a strange habit of suddenly getting obsessed with things that she’d previously not had on her radar at all, or at least hadn’t appeared to. One moment, she’ll be going along with her usual routine, making ceremonial ceramic mugs and selling them through in-app retail functionality, and the next she’ll be in …
Health is wealth. That’s what my great aunt Helga always used to say, anyway, she lived to the ripe old age of 102. Not only that, but she was in pretty decent nick up until about 98. That’s when her type 1 diabetes finally started to kick in, and her body kind of knew it …
I love walking. As far as I’m concerned, it’s impossible to do too much of it, especially in the contemporary world of desk work, binge watching, online shopping and car share apps. Don’t get me wrong – I’m a big fan of technology, and as much a consumer of these conveniences as the next person. …
A cafe without coffee: brilliant idea! That was my first thought when Stephania told me about it, but I’m starting to come around. After all, more and more people are cottoning on to the notion that coffee doesn’t need to be made of… well, coffee. These days, there are so many alternatives! Turmeric, beetroot, matcha, …

Sometimes I don’t think the segments on The Great Australian Trade-Off should be timed, because sometimes in life itself, you take as long as you need to get the job done. In cases of home DIY, often the only timer is the slow march of death itself! Ha …
Sticking together is what good families do. That’s why I think it’s destiny that all of us are now in the same house, because this way we can be together every single day, and we can come together for breakfast every single day, and we can share all of our problems every single day. Sometimes, …
I’m no theatre buff, but even I notice when there’s a definite trend. I remember the very first thing I ever saw was Andy-Boyd’s Tweets way back in my Year 11 Theatre class, and I liked it well enough, even when we had to write essays pulling every inch of it apart. Now I walk …
Special thanks to the Cajun folks for giving us the knowledge to soak our poultry in delicious spices, enhancing the flavour and creating an experience that went unmatched for hundreds of years.
