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.
Bit of a sad start to the week. We’re preparing to head down to Melbourne for Mrs Romance’s poor aunt, who passed away suddenly last week. Her funeral is on Wednesday. It’s quite strange – we’re all usually excited about going down to Melbourne. We get to see family and friends, explore the city, generally … Read more
We’re still coming round to the fact that it’s 2015. Hope it doesn’t take too long – we’ve got lots planned for this year! Things are already starting to pick up speed. This week we’ve got lots on… but it’s better than being bored and doing nothing, right? The good thing is at least the … Read more
We’re still waiting for that bump of reality since coming back home to Australia. It’s been nice not having to get straight back into the routine. The Christmas and New Year’s holiday has seen to that. We’ve been up in Port Stephens – about 2 1/2 hours north of Sydney – working on Mrs R’s … Read more
So it’s time for us to take a deep breath, smell some of them roses, and enjoy some down-time after a pretty crazy trip. We’ve been so busy, our Instagram Diary hasn’t been updated in a little while, but here’s what we’ve been up to on our favourite social media platform: We’ve been to Cuba … Read more
We’re ba-aack! Did y’miss us?! hopefully the answer is ‘yes’ – but not too much. I can’t stand that kind of pressure! Well, it’s true, we are back, and as we thought might happen, Cuba was – for all it’s awesomeness – a little light on the internet side. It’s either non-existent or extortionately expensive. … Read more
We haven’t got long left here in San Diego. It’s been awesome to be able to spend so much time – not only with our friends who have put us up – but also to be able to get to know this place so much better. San Diego really is a cool town – much … Read more
So in last week’s Instagram Diary, you might’ve seen our pic of the cigar I had. Well, we were enjoying the backgammon there so much, we decided to go back to Churchill Cigar Lounge for a rematch – and another cigar of course! This morning, Mrs R came back from the shower and mentioned she’d had to … Read more
The other day, Mrs Romance and I were on the road driving around the Daylesford region of country Victoria. It’s a lovely area of Australia, and if you ever get the chance, go for it (here’s our wrap of Daylesford and 7 reasons why you should go there). Anyway, whilst on the road, Mrs R … Read more
As we head south on our drive from Los Angeles to San Diego, we switch on the radio. Cold Play’s A Sky Full of Stars comes on. It’s a good song. Then Mrs Romance chimes in with: I don’t get these lyrics. Does ‘you’re a sky full of stars’ mean ‘I think you’re fat’? Mind … Read more
It’s only until you start to pack for an overseas trip that’ll last more than two months that you realise how much stuff you really have! We fly to Los Angeles on Tuesday 28th and return face to face with the business end of Christmas. The stress of all the preparation seems to be having … Read more
