I secretly love birthdays… well, it’s not much of a secret now I suppose. But I do. I pretend I don’t care if it’s my birthday or not, play it cool. But I do care. I think it’sMrs Romance’s doing. She loves birthdays more than anything – even more than Christmas. And that’s not limited … Read more
We’ve had a very complicated week here at Romance HQ – and I think that’s pretty well reflected in the title of this week’s IG Edition. Lots happening and nothing really connected to anything else. A real scrambled egg of a week. The plus side to that is that scrambled eggs are delicious. We’re also … Read more
Last week was the last of a run of 4-day weeks for Australia and New Zealand. Easter then Anzac Day really made for a lovely few weeks. We’re all reeling from the prospect of working 5 days for the next month or so… in fact, New South Wales doesn’t have another public holiday now until… … Read more

As you can probably see from this IG Edition’s title image, it’s been another week of wild weather here in Sydney. Thankfully we’ve had plenty to keep us busy, including a big night in with a couple of our best friends… but more about that in a minute. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be … Read more
