Wow, your cat is exactly like my old TomTom. He would yowl at night, and really liked to yowl at the wall in the bend of the staircase. We figured maybe it was acoustics, and not much later realised he'd gone deaf. Poor bloke had already lost an eye to glaucoma. He also had no time for cuddles. Scratching was ok, but…

Yay! Good on her for speaking up.

Paula's replacing my beloved Mother Mary of the Hot Tamale Train? Noooooo(oooo to infinity). Mary, Jesse Name-Name and my best friend Christina Applegate are the best. And Adam. I want a night on the town with Adam.

Oh, Lisa Rinna, I get you. After 5 weeks in the UK, and so used to a city where everyone is 2 degrees from someone, I was in Changi Airport (Singapore) and walking behind this lovely tall being in a mauve shirt. He turned around and my first instinct was to go "oh, hey!" As a former bartender you get used to…

Yep, even when I was earning below the poverty line and getting called out for work, I had to remind myself that I work to live, not live to work. Of course I was lucky I could do that by moving back home at 31, but sometimes young colleagues needed reminding, as they were being taken advantage of, and didn't know…

Every time there's a reference to the Blue Spider Crab I think of the Blue Oyster Bar in the Police Academy movies, so I think of a restaurant where moustachioed men in studded leather do the Tango*.

So dusty in here. Godammit, who's cutting onions. And the rain on my face.

When I made coffees it was before people were called Baristas. We just made coffee. There's talk of a cappuccino being one shot, and a flat white being two shots. I haven't made coffee for 8 years.

If I remember, I made them over a splash of hot water, with a double shot. To have it all in a long pull would taste like arse. Overextraction is the bane of my coffee existence (I'm looking at you, Muzz Buzz).

If you don't like pavlova, then it's from New Zealand. Same with Russell Crowe and Crowded House. If you like them, they're totally Australian.

Cuzzy bro, I have to admit I thought Aussie flat whites were the bomb, but then I visited your fine country. You guys get it, you really do. NZ flat whites aren't as hot as ours, so you can drink them straight away. And available in bowls. BOWLS!

Mint Slice > TimTam.

Didn't seem to bother Claire, she jokes!

So many thoughts that will never be seen...

Ooooffff! Marry me? I'm halfway through the second book, so I'm happy to hear that,

And still in the greys! Such is life. Back to my toast and coffee..... It's cool, guys. It's cool.

Who cares? The wedding was great!*

As if it wouldn't do the same to you. To any of us.

It's how I felt, danced by how I would preach, amen and whatnot.

Solid gold.
