Flavour Of The Month (FOTM) is our nod to old-school blogging days. We’re sharing a taste – a ‘flavour’ if you will – of what’s happened in the month just gone.
Why do we do this?
There are a few reasons actually. First and foremost, we like to be able to google our lives. All too often, Christina has asked me when we did something and all I’ve had to do is search Mr & Mrs.
But we also love writing about things that either don’t really fit anywhere else or that isn’t quite a big enough story to have its own stand-alone article.
Best of all, we love sharing important moments of our lives here, so you get a real flavour of what’s happening with us in these posts.
Since we spent the 3 weeks over Christmas and the new year away from each other, Mrs Romance and I decided to take a bit of time out to reconnect this week just gone. Her sister has a little holiday house up the coast, and we managed to wriggle in a booking between other guests. … Read more
It doesn’t seem possible that another week’s gone by. And what a hot one it’s been here in Sydney. Thankfully It’s cooled down now towards the end of the week – even if that does mean cloudier skies. In fact the weather changed on one of the darkest days we’ve had for a while. My … Read more
We hope you enjoyed yesterday’s retro-Diary, catching up with our exploits from New Year’s Day till when I returned back to Mrs Romance and the Australian summer. I can’t believe it’s only been a week, and even weirder, that it’s already the second half of January. Why do I get the feeling this year’s going … Read more
In this edition of our Instagram Diaries, Mrs Romance and I have decided to tell you about what happened between New Year and the point when I returned from England on my errand of parental mercy. It carries on from where we left off in our last Instagram Diary here. Don’t worry though. Tomorrow we’ll … Read more
It seems like forever since we last spoke – I suppose it has been really. Not since last year in fact. I hope you haven’t missed us too much. It’s been quite strange not publishing anything for some 4 weeks, but thanks to the threat of good ol’ burn out and an overseas trip, it’s … Read more
So this is it. (Probably) our last Instagram Diary for the year! I’m heading back to the UK for 3 weeks leaving poor Mrs Romance alone with that awful Australian summer. I hope she’ll be able to deal with those endless days of hot sun, long days and some of the best excuses for a … Read more
Our week this week started out feeling very tranquil. This always worries me – especially around this time of year – as it usually means there’s a shitstorm coming. Sure enough, what started out looking like this, ended up being so busy. But, better to be busy than bored, right? Wonder what bored actually feels … Read more
It’s finally here – the final month of the year. December. It’s expensive, it’s busy, it’s totally nuts. As the year winds up, we’re all running around trying to organise a million different things: presents, parties, annual leave, kids’ holidays, Christmas dinner, New Year’s Eve… and you’re supposed to carry on with all the other … Read more
Ok. Who said it was all right for November to up and bugger off? It’s not right, you know. I certainly wouldn’t have signed off on it. And there’s no way I’m fine with Christmas being only 24 days away either. And this week hasn’t helped. It seems like only a second ago I was … Read more
You can always tell when the Sydney summer’s really underway when sunsets start looking like this one. It’s the start of a week billed to have the second hottest November day in Sydney’s history. Thankfully though, the humidity’s mercifully very low. This is the first full week we’ll have spent in Sydney in what seems … Read more
