I like the beginning of the year because there are so many more public holidays; hence, more guilt-free, relaxing time off work. But… I actually did a lot over the last 3 days and feel absolutely exhausted! On Saturday, I went to the city to find some souvenirs to send off to some relatives in … Continue reading Dear diary: Farewell Labour day long weekend
And for what? Because of this!: This little plastic bottle of spray has the most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G fragrance I have EVER smelt in my entire life! It’s just gorgeous and I love it so, so much! I’m a sucker for caramel and this has the deepest and richest scent and it just sits on my skin … Continue reading Dear Diary: I broke Project Pan
I can't say that I wasn't disappointed, but sometimes things are out of my control and I have to deal with it. Most of my day was pretty good... for a work day. I had an interesting walk to the train station: I don't think I've ever seen a mattress barricade before. I'm not sure … Continue reading Dear Diary: Happy Valentine’s Day to me
Marble is officially a member of the family! I didn't think that I would own another pet, especially after my beautiful little Japanese Spitz Mana passed away in 2021. It was too traumatic for me... and probably the first real heartbreak that I had ever experienced. Living without her for over a year was difficult … Continue reading Dear Diary: I adopted a cat!
I was actually meant to go last year but life things happened and I had to postpone it until today. It’s been a long time since I’ve needed to get a filling (especially with the amount of sugar that I’ve eaten over the years), so I was surprised that I ended up getting two today! … Continue reading Dear Diary: I survived the first dentist visit of the year
I know I don’t celebrate Chinese new year but being the believer I am in all things astrology, I am so glad it’s a snake year. Apparently (well, according to google and TikTok), I’ve been in some crazy 13 year bad luck streak and it’s meant to end this year. So… I could sure use … Continue reading Dear Diary: I welcome the year of the Snake
How fast did the month go?! I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised it’s a bit of a blur - half of it was disrupted by annual leave and public holidays. I’m happy and sad about it. I liked the fact that there was barely any traffic on the road, but hated that the shops were … Continue reading Dear Diary: What an end to January
The first long weekend of the year and it was hot, humid and went by super fast. I spent the majority of my time south of the river but there was just no reprieve from the weather. Even though I felt totally zapped of energy, I’m glad I managed to fit in some exercise. Walking … Continue reading Dear Diary: The long weekend was not long enough
OMG it is SO hot! Today the temperature hit 43 degrees and boy am I feeling it. I left work around 3ish and the little hairs on my arms felt like they were burning off. I ended up using my umbrella to walk to the train station so I wasn’t in direct sun. I probably … Continue reading Dear Diary: Let this heatwave end!
(I love that movie by the way :)) I just knew 2025 was going to get off to a good start! Today, we got confirmation that we are getting pay rises very soon! I’m really appreciative of all the people who were working behind the scenes to get it approved because it’s been a long … Continue reading Dear Diary: Show me the money!
