Why does Narelle always have to be so darned smug? Sure, she’s better than everyone at virtually everything, from making money to volunteering at a soup kitchen to having a good haircut. But that doesn’t mean she needs to let on. Can’t we all just pretend to be on the same level? Here’s an example. …
I’ve just been reading this article on the toll of stress in teenagers sitting HSC exams. Apparently, anxiety and depression around this activity are on the rise in recent years, and it’s leading to an increased need for special exam provisions, counselling and even medical diagnoses. It’s a bit of a worry, frankly. My grandson …
My sister won’t stop going on about her new ‘farmhouse kitchen’. What does that even mean? I assume it’s something along the lines of a rustic look, and I wish she’d just say that instead of doing this whole wannabe urban farmer charade. So you grew some mint on your windowsill; big whoop. I know …
How far can you go with office design, really? Diane from HR has been on about it for four weeks straight now. At every meeting, she’s got some new idea up her sleeve that’s supposedly going innovate the whole sector. We’re a law firm, Diane, not a happening PR company like those kids over the …

Sometimes, in life, you just drive your car through the window of a knitting shop. It’s just one of life’s intricacies, something that forms the fabric of the weave of time that we create upon this earth, and yes, I am in quite a lot of trouble. For one thing, that was my Dad’s car, …
Anyway, it looks as if SOME people have been abusing the technology. Car servicing specialists Hawthorn wide have been reporting some odd happenings, and word is starting to spread… cars that have certain new AI features installed, for example. I’m talking 4WDs with the power to shift the driver into alternate realms via an impossible number …
How do I keep getting myself tangled in office design? I don’t even work in an office! And of course, for someone with my free spirit, working in an office would be paramount to murder. I’d steadily waste away, my universal energies drained until I was nothing but an empty shell, entering data only to …
Ironically, I’m going to need some modern kitchen design for my medieval-themed kitchen. It’s all the illusion, of course…we’re not actually going to be cooking things the way they used to do back in olden days, days of yore.
