Shapeshifter

I’ve been meaning to tell you about my brilliant night out when I saw Shapeshifter live at The Powerstation. Shapeshifter are my current favourite band, I never tire of their music, so seeing them live on stage was enough to cause as much excitement as a 4 year old seeing The Wiggles Live in Concert…..yep, I could’a peed my pants.

Online Dating:like a box of chocolates 2

Online Dating: Like a Box of Chocolates

So I’ve been single again for a while now, and know that it’s now time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start mingling in the single circles again. After all it’s probably best to not wait to strike until the iron is hot – but to make it hot by striking…

One method of ‘getting out there’ is through Online Dating – something I’m experienced with and have done a few times in the past. Who hasn’t these days?

Sick In The City

Oh man! Why is it that every time you quickly pop out to the dairy, dressed in your tracky-dacks, bags under your eyes, no makeup and haven’t washed your hair for two days, you happen to bump into someone who you haven’t seen for over 10 years?!  Why is it that that person looks amazing while you curse silently to yourself and wish you were wearing your darkest shades, possibly even a wig?

Hot Tamale

This weather is pretty damn fine isn’t it? It’s pretty hot and pretty muggy which sometimes in turn doesn’t actually make me feel altogether very pretty …. I’m sure I’m not the only one who suffers from heat induced swelling or sweaty blotchy makeup (yes I know, a lady doesn’t sweat – she glows).

I love a long hot summer – but hells bells, I’ve been a bit of Sweaty Betty lately let me tell you…

3D movie

3D movie

Decided to take it easy last weekend. To step away from recent late night boozing; and to enjoy a bite to eat and a session at the movies.

I love going to the movies, or ‘ to the cinema’ as my mates in the UK like to call it. I used to work for a large home video rental chain whereby movie watching literally became part of my daily routine,  so I became quite the film know-it-all-nerd. That was some years ago however and nowadays seeing a movie is a real treat.

Living Alone

Living Alone

I have been living on my own for almost 6 months now, and it sure has its benefits……you can walk around butt naked, let the dishes pile up on the bench for days, invite whomever you want over whenever you want and you can leave the toilet door open if you want to…..yep life is pretty sweet.

But it has its moments too.
