I Need A Break From My Phone

15th July 2016

Hello, I’m looking to take photos without my phone and need suggestions on digital SLR cameras.  Want to learn and do more with my photography. Camera must be chunky for my spaz hands.  And I could use auto-stabilise.  And point-and-click.  Any thoughts? Will mainly be used for toddlers in the wild.  And for epic scenery. Thanks in advance.  Longer posts coming soon.    …

A Certain Rite of Passage

16th December 2012

Yesterday marked 6 months until the wedding.  Sarge and I celebrated by opening some sparkly from the engagement party and watching a double-bill of The Usual Suspects and Mixed Nuts.  Guess which one was my choice. And. We were also toasting the the fact that I quit my job on Friday.  Although I prefer the term ‘left voluntarily’.  See, the giant stresshead I mentioned in my last post kinda exploded. The first flowery boot dropped on Thursday night at a…

Who Else Is Me?

16th November 2012

On a crowded dance floor, I am usually considered a fire hazard.  A fire hazard…

On The Road: The Nerdy Backpackers

25th August 2012

‘We look like a couple of nerdy backpackers.’ ‘That’s because we are.’ On Monday, Sarge and I went to Newcastle (ish) to visit a friend of mine from University (the first one). She was the friend from this post and featured in the beginning of this one. Through no fault of our own we’d seen each other all of twice in five years. Before Monday, Em hadn’t met Sarge, and we are going on three. Because I don’t have a…
