Sydney

Before all hell broke loose and there wasn’t much talk about Covid-19, we went to Sydney. We had hoped to catch the Penn & Teller show at the Sydney Opera House but they canceled for medical reason. We still went and had a fantastic time. Be prepared to do a lot of walking and spend […]

Hidden Figures spoiler free review

I haven’t updated this site in a while.  Life’s been busy.  Found a new job.  Going on 4 weeks now that I’ve been working there.  Kids are back to school.  Time goes by quickly when you’re busy so it’s been hard to get to the blog. Anyway I wanted to take a quick minute to […]

Happy 2017!

A part of me would like to say that I was partying the night away dressed in a slinky cowl neck midi dress with matching heels when the clock struck 12AM ringing in 2017 but no, I wasn’t. I was asleep. MJ had stayed awake with the guise that he was so cool he was going to […]

9/11

Today I thought I should mark September 11 somehow.  I searched through some images online until I found one that I liked and with it I changed my Facebook cover image – I thought that was the best I could do while living on the other side of the world.  But as I sat there […]

Happy 4th of July!

So today is the 4th of July in Australia which means nothing to Australians.  Tomorrow when it’s the 4th of July in America, everyone will be celebrating America’s Independence and I really hope they know what they’re celebrating and that the people in this video were just the minority.

Social etiquette in Australia

Interesting read.  I’ve noticed most of these things, however, I’ve also noticed people take undrunk wine or uneaten food that they have brought to a party back home with them.  If I bring it to a party, I leave it for the host to enjoy or give away or toss out, if necessary.  But I […]

88 crazy things you probably didn’t know about Australia

I saw this list on Facebook.  I don’t know how accurate it is but I thought I would share because it sounds cool. 1. Australia is as wide as the distance between London to Moscow. 2. The biggest property in Australia is bigger than Belgium. 3. More than 85% of Australians live within 50km of […]

Geography

Not one of my strong suits and definitely not these people’s either. Australians try to label the American states – I think I would do poorly as well. Americans try to label Australian states – Until I moved here I would haven’t gotten any of it! My geography teacher didn’t teach much.  Shoot, I can’t even […]
