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.
It’s been pretty awful weather in Sydney this week. This storm that pile-drived (or should that be pile-drove) into the city was pretty impressive. I think one of our readers mentioned the word ‘apocalypse’ – I’m inclined to agree. Perhaps it’s the weather, but Mrs Romance has been even funnier than usual recently. Her latest … Read more
It’s been a funny little week this week. Monday being a public holiday has really put us out of kilter. I think I think I’ve checked my phone about 30 times this week to check what day it is! It’s not such a bad thing though. When I think it’s Sunday, it’ll only be Saturday! … Read more
Everyone’s quite excited in Sydney this week: there’s a long weekend ahead. It’s the last one here in New South Wales till Christmas, so everyone’s making the most of it. What’s more, Summertime has also come, so our clocks will all go forward an hour. It means one hour less in bed but it also … Read more
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched – they can only be felt with the heart.” Helen Keller said that. Pretty profound, isn’t it? It’s hard to imagine life without the ability to sense it as fully as most of us can. It’s showing my age a bit, … Read more
Welcome back for another week’s round-up on our Instagram Diary. This week is looking a little less fraught than last week – though that probably wouldn’t be hard. I worked out the other day that, as of Thursday last week I’d slept in my own bed only 4 nights out of the last 21. It … Read more
Happy birthday to Jeanette – Mrs Romance’s mum! This cake is one of the delicacies being devoured as part of the birthday celebrations at Burnt Orange in Mosman. How tasty does this look? We’ve got a busy week planned. I’ve got an extraordinary trip to Perth happening while Mrs R is working hard back here, … Read more
Day two of our stay on Fraser Island. Yesterday, you might remember, we were zooming up and down Kingfisher Bay Beach on Segways and gazing out to the horizon watching the sun set over the ocean. Today, as you can see, we’ve taken to the air as part of our full-day tour of Fraser Island, … Read more
I am wrecked. Kaput. Cream crackered. We’re just coming out the other side of Mrs R’s new book coming out, the biggest weekend in the blogging calendar and more travel than we’ve done since we were in Europe and the States last year. It’s that good tired, but we’re tired nonetheless. During this year’s conference, we’ve … Read more
It’s been a horrible week weather wise here in Sydney. Rainy, gloomy, cold… it makes me quite homesick actually! The weather might have something to do with why this week’s Instagram Diary is so short. We just haven’t done much – the weather’s just been too shitty! The good news is from about Thursday next … Read more
It’s strange not having our friends here. Last week, Mona and Brendan, who live in San Diego, were staying with us. It was a lot of fun but they’ve since headed off on the next part of their trip, which means back to reality for us. Mona has two favourite drinks: Amoretto sour and sparkling … Read more
