Where to Next »

My family and I moved to Australia in 1981 and I went to work in the Health Insurance Industry before moving onto a Government position in the Health Insurance Commission or Medicare Australia as it is now known. And life meandered down its path.

First Forays into Working From Home »

When I was younger and had my 3 children I wanted to work from home to be with them.

A Frosty Winters Morning in Canberra »

Just went outside to put some rubbish in the bin, and it is one of those mornings that I love. Everything is coated in white frost and the street lights have a watery ghostly glow that casts and eerie light over everything.
The chill in the air settles on your skin makes you feel as if […]

Back to the Gym - Fernwood Tuggeranong »

I must be nuts. It’s been quite some time since I relinquished my gym membership through lack of motivation, but yesterday saw me weaken and sign up once again. So here I am sitting waiting for Paula to arrive so we can head off for a routine of huff and puff.
It’s 2 degrees outside and […]

Another Birthday Celebration - Erindale Turkish Grill »

On Tuesday night we celebrated Karen’s birthday with more of her new workmates in Canberra. This time we went to the Turkish Grill in Erindale, Canberra.
