Hello reader! Happy 2026! I should put in some trigger warnings – mental health, suicidal ideation, swearing It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I wish I could say that 2026 is off to a good start for me, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been the best. I did manage to close off 2025 with a trip…

Hello reader! Happy New Year! I hope your festive season went as smoothly as mine, even if you had to work. I’m still umming and ahhing about this format 😀 So, the last time I wrote, which was last year (ha ha) I laid out my goals for 2024. However, I think some of that…

Hello reader! It’s October again! Where does the time go? I have once again been slack, but without going into too much detail, I think some family emergencies are a good enough excuse for not being around on here. I’m road-testing a new keyboard to see if I can migrate some of my work to…

Hello reader! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’ve started to settle into the new role (passed my probation yas!) but I may have done something silly and triggered a HUGE chronic fatigue crash. Turns out I can only really sustain 70+ hour weeks for about 5 weeks before the body goes “NO NO NO”…

Hi Readers, **Trigger Warning – suicidal ideation** It’s been a busy few months for yours truly here, and it’s been fun, but tiring and some of it really should go away. So as I may have said in the past (or not – brain fog, remember?) I have changed my work site – still based…

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,…

Hello reader! I hope 2023 has been a lot better then the past few years for you so far. Also, it’s the end of April. I swear I blinked in January and boom! April! What has happened? Well, as you all know, I’m sitting pretty at the new job. It’s been really interesting and challenging…

Hello readers! It is December, which means Christmas is around the corner! Now, I love Christmas; less so for the gift giving part and more for the fact that our family comes together for a smashingly good meal (prepared by yours truly), we drink lots of good booze and generally a good time is had…

Hi everyone! I know I haven’t written for a while – I was a bit busy when my cousin (whose wedding I went to in the States earlier this year) decided to spend her honeymoon here and then I got sick again – its possibly the flu but definitely not COVID-19. In the meantime, I’ve…

Hello readers! I hope you are all well and getting through this super cold winter we are shivering through in Melbourne. It’s been a really disjointed few months for me, and the trip to Singapore and the States feels like an eternity ago. As you know, I had an undiagnosed (kept testing negative) case of…

Hello readers! I’m still finalizing my in between posts – things have been a little hectic lately, but today I celebrate another lap around the sun, and it’s been a hell of a year. I’m 36 this year (have never understood the whole lying about your age thing, maybe because my ever practical mumma bear…
