TWE – The Weekly Edition kind of a mini magazine in one and is a regular medley write-up of things we’ve seen, done, eaten and drunk recently. It’s a great way to stay in touch with what we’ve been up to – much of which isn’t on social media.
Happy New Year – and happy new decade too! It’s still sinking in that it’s finally 2020, a year that felt as much like a sci-fi date as 2000 did in the ’90s if that makes any sense. For a bit more perspective – as if we need any more of that – a friend … Read more
So this is it! Our last Weekly Edition of 2019. Probably. There’s an outside chance we’ll have more to tell you after Christmas and before New Year’s Eve. Let’s see! But in this Edition we’re looking at what Christina got up to on her actual birthday (after her gin-fuelled birthday party last weekend) and how … Read more
Not long now till Christmas – only a week in fact! It’s hard to believe it’s here so fast. As if the impending promise of Christmas and all its associated fun and games isn’t enough to keep us busy, this week we’re having a birthday party for Christina (it is her birthday after all) as … Read more
Every evening for the past month, the skies over Sydney have turned this eerie orange colour. As the smoke and ash continues to descend on Sydney, so much of the countryside suffers with the terrible bushfires happening across the state. Our thoughts are with those at the front line, both victims and the brave people … Read more
Ok, how is it December already? I’m starting to see why shops have started putting out their Christmas stuff in August – it feels like just last week that we saw the first mince pies for sale. And that was in Q3! The good news is that now the silly season has officially started, we … Read more
As we look out of our window each morning recently, we’re greeted with the same eerie sight and the stark reminder that the deadly bushfires that are burning throughout the state are still very much an issue. Smoke blankets Sydney, and each morning, the sun shines a ghostly glow through the palls, giving a haunting … Read more
As you probably know, it’s not like us to sit still for too long, but last month was kind of ridiculous. With so much going on – travelling to South Africa and then to the USA, we’ve had so much to tell you about. We’re back in Sydney now though and this Weekly Edition is … Read more
It’s been an incredible trip to the States, but like all good things, it is coming to an end. For the last leg of this journey, we’re back in sunny San Diego to see our friends and to get one last good hit of Mexican food before we head back to Sydney. Our time in … Read more
I’ve been Jonesing to get back to Chicago since 2013 – when we were there last. It feels like a lifetime ago. Finally, we’ve managed to organise ourselves enough to get back to the Windy City and I’m seriously excited. Last time we were here, Christina was at a conference, leaving me to my own … Read more
As we watch LA disappear into the distance from our plane windows, the thrill of visiting a new US city makes us a little less sad to be leaving. We’re heading for the very heart of the country – the bullseye of America: Kansas City, Missouri. Perhaps it’s the fascination of seeing the true Midwest … Read more
