I’m sorry to show my age here, but once upon a time, five very wise women told the world to:“Stop right nowThank you very muchI need somebody with the human touchHey you! Always on the run!Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fuuuuuun!”Yes it was the Spice Girls and yes I still adore them.…

Hello reader! I decided to change the layout of the blog to a simpler one – the colour combination of the old styling was giving me the sads. Happy end of 2023! I say that with as much false cheer and happy face as I can manage. I am definitely being a bit dramatic, but…

Hello reader, I hope you are well in these rather interesting times. Today is the 125th day of 2023, and has it been a flurry so far! The World Health Organisation (WHO) have declared that COVID-19 is no longer a global emergency, but it is still a global health threat. Over in the United Kingdom,…

I’m writing this with a heavy heart today, having woken up to the news that Queen Elizabeth II has passed. I never met her, nor do I have any major feelings or affiliations towards the monarchy, but she has always been there – a constant in our lives as well as in global politics, and…

Hello readers, I hope you’re all well. Today’s entry is going to be a bit of a drag as it’s not about a fun subject. It’s not entirely a rant, but something I guess I woke up to given I’ve had a little more time to reflect on things these days – not because I…

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Hello again! It’s March 2022 and despite the easing of just about all restrictions in Victoria, the world has gone from panic over the pandemic, to panic about a potential World War III. What is happening in the Ukraine at the moment is horrific. Russia’s well-oiled misinformation machine has set the narrative for…

Hello everyone! If I may just have a little rant for a moment…. or perhaps a confession? I have hit the wall. In terms of the pericarditis and the associated issues that have stemmed from the COVID-19 vaccination. Despite it all, I am still a huge advocate for people getting vaccinated as I’m pretty sure…

Hello everyone! Where has the time gone? How is it almost Lunar New Year and into the second month of the year? I for one know what has been keeping people occupied this month. 1. Exploding Omicron figures (we are consistently in 5 figures every day) 2. The Djokovic saga (which could have been easily…

Disclaimer: I’m not a Karen, nor is my name Karen. I’ve also never asked to see a manager before… We are now 13 days into 2022, and there has been very little to inspire me. Our daily numbers in Victoria are in the 5 figure area; there are very few rules in place to try…

Hello readers! Let me start off by wishing you all a very belatedly Merry Christmas; Happy Holidays and a safe and prosperous New Year. It has, unfortunately, not been the best end to 2021 as I had hoped. I last wrote in October, where I was navigating the ‘I had a reaction to the Pfizer’…

Hello reader, I’m sorry for the long absence. Things haven’t been the greatest here in Melbourne… or even in Australia to be honest. A series of bad judgement calls and decisions made by the Premier of New South Wales has led to a near-national lockdown reminiscent of last year’s major lockdowns. I am unsure what…

Happy new year everyone! It’s been a while since we have connected here, due to a combination of ever worsening health, Christmas crazy and a cavalcade of issues that seem to never end, are easy to deal with but take up too much of your time. It’s also around the anniversary of when this blog…
