Sometimes the stars just align in a perfect night. You know what I mean, when just everything falls into place how it should be. This is what happened for me on Tuesday night. After many, many years apart two of my oldest friends and I finally got our shit together and were all able to be in the … [Read more...]
The very beautiful StylingYou reminded us on Twitter this morning that the Year 12's finish up school today. Then we got to reminiscing... Ahhh... Life was so much simpler then! But strangely I have more hair now. Anyways, just a quick post cause my Year 12 Grad can be summed up with open … [Read more...]
Cast your mind back to 1989. I had just turned 17 and every night I went to bed dreaming that I would one day win Olympic Gold and every morning at 5.30am my poor, long-suffering mummy would have to drive me to the pool for swimming training. I was completely obsessed and had been since I first … [Read more...]

Be it a school reunion, a family reunion or as was the case for me on the weekend, the State Bank Griffith reunion; why would you not want to be a part of it? On my last day at the State Bank, Jan '93 See I love a reunion. I … [Read more...]
“Good morning State Bank Griffith, St. Murphy speaking…” I used to be a Bank Teller! Oh the irony! Many who know me now will be in fits of laughter cause I am possibly the most un-Bank Tellerish person ever now. For one, Bank Tellers are polite and focused on customer service. Me, I’m a … [Read more...]
So I lost the good part of half a day while I was at home in Griffith going through old family photo albums. It’s addictive, once you start you can’t stop. Everyone in my family, especially me, LOVES a photo. Every stage of my life is very well documented. Now this is the most self-indulgent, … [Read more...]
Every year for as long as I can remember my Grandma has attended the ANZAC Day Dawn Service. She lost her husband, my grandfather, in WW2 and subsequently raised two boys on her own who never knew their father. She can not attend this year so I will take her place. I am sad and embarrassed to admit … [Read more...]
I am a notorious overpacker! Shocking in fact. A life lesson I’ve never learnt. This is the giant suitcase I’ve packed for 3 days & 3 nights in my hometown Griffith. You know how much I love Griffith and going home, so extra particular care needed to be taken. And yes I am also taking me … [Read more...]
