I have suffered from insomnia on and off for about 15 years. It seemed to kick off at the start of my nursing career when I was working varying shifts. It seems to be more linked with an overthinking mind. It really started when I began taking on responsibility- life and death responsibility-. My brain... Continue Reading →
I've gained a bit of a reputation for doing family and friends special celebration cakes. I've done a few classes and taught myself a few things. I'm no pro, but I really enjoy it and I think I do pretty well. They are very time consuming and costly, so while I love that I can... Continue Reading →
I don't have much to report on my garden by way of doing anything different. It's been a very busy month for me starting a new job, which involves a much longer commute than I'm used to so I haven't had as much time for gardening or writing. Luckily my garden hasn't needed much more... Continue Reading →
In 2003 I went to South Africa for the first time, I volunteered in a home for abandoned babies. Although Australia does have its own horrible racist history, I had never been exposed to the level of racism as when I went to South Africa. Caring for the African children in the home, Black, Coloured... Continue Reading →
This morning I watched the WugulOra Ceremony honouring our first nations people. Then I had some errands to do. I've made some lamingtons. And tonight I'll probably watch the Australia Day concert from the Sydney Opera House. I also thought I'd play some music from Aussie artists so I made a little list (150 or so... Continue Reading →
I haven’t been doing as much writing as I’d like. Things have been quite hectic for me to say the least. Tomorrow marks day 9 since I started my new job. And I’m really loving it. It’s challenging. I’m learning and still have so much to learn. I also already feel appreciated for the skills... Continue Reading →
27.12.2018 Today is going to be 37 degrees Celsius but I really wanted to get in the garden today. I headed off to Bunnings very early and spent a couple of hours in the garden before the heat of the day (it was still pretty warm at 10am!). I potted the rose I was given... Continue Reading →

I have some Cherries left over from Christmas and thought I’d throw together some overnight oats. I generally do my overnight oats with a mixture of non-dairy milk (I use a almond/coconut blend normally) and coconut yogurt, but I also had some coconut milk left over from baking and wanted to make this super coconutty....

I don’t love New Year’s Resolutions. I just don’t think there’s something magical about the date ticking over that can make you change your life. You can change your life any day of the year. I did this year. You can read my very first blog post, where life had taken me on some twists... Continue Reading →
