Getting richer!
Don’t you like the sound of that?! A rich cognitive lifestyle! A rich cognitive lifestyle is one where you are learning new things all the time. The learning should be sustained, complex and preferably include a physical and social aspect as well. Learning a new language, for instance, is a great activity.
Go west Old Chook!
Move over Max and Priscilla - the Old Chook is coming to town! To Broken Hill that is, one of the richest mining areas in Australia. As of a few days ago, I have accepted a one year secondment to work in Broken Hill commencing in January 2019. Broken Hill is in far west … Continue reading Go west Old Chook!
Transit through Incheon

There are three park runs near where I live in Wollongong, but strangely there wasn't one in New York. This weekend I am in Old Bar on the Mid … Continue reading A run in the Park.
Magical Chanel
The last 5 mL of rich golden liquid had been lingering in the bottom of that “parfum” bottle for a few years now. Chanel No 5, one of the last gifts the ex had given me. He had always been good with gifts. Much more thoughtful than me. I tended to buy very inappropriate ones … Continue reading Magical Chanel
As good as it gets.
This post is an experiment. It's a short story. It has very strong Australian cultural themes so it may not translate well to an international market.... BUT.... I wanted to give it a go. So no photos and way more than the usual 1000 words or less and it's total fiction.
Snapshot of Sydney: Little Surprises in Lavender Bay

Trying to save a bit of cash? Here’s a fun, free activity for families. Walking along the Lavender Bay foreshore … Continue reading Snapshot of Sydney: Little Surprises in Lavender Bay
