What’s Angelo’s deal? The guy is obsessed with ‘levels’. He doesn’t seem to have cottoned to the fact that nobody knows or cares what he’s on about, and is ploughing forward in his quest to push through his vision. As far as enthusiasm for office layouts goes, he really takes the cake, and I expect …
ROGAN JOSH! We’ve never been hugely into Indian food in my family. I suppose could say we’re insular, in that our idea of eating out is parma and chips, and our idea of eating foreign food is Pavlova. My Dad is from New Zealand and he staunchly maintains that they invented it, and it should …
I think I saw this exact scenario in a movie once. I mean, I was really young, and it was just one of those things you tend to ‘watch’ when you’re in the room with your parents and playing with Lego. Anyway, it was a woman, and the man was teaching her to be civilised …
My goodness, an invitation to appear on the television! And because of the state of my kitchen! This is terribly unexpected for all sorts of reasons, although our family’s uniqueness has perhaps played a large part in us getting noticed. We are, after all, the only people in Melbourne to own a castle-mansion of any …
I tell you, the more I miss the chance to interview that vigilante, the more I want to get it done. Scoop McGee doesn’t quit, see? This is just making me even hungrier for that next big scoop. Right now, I gotta pay the bills somehow, so I’ve got myself a job as a staff …
If interior decorating magazines are anything to go by, there are now a million and one ways of styling unique character into your home. Whether it’s designing your own wallpaper, optical illusions with statement lighting or simply arranging armfuls of sticks around the joint, there’s something for everyone. God forbid we should just have what …
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, …
