There’s a health food eatery not too far from where I work. It’s not one of those places that has buckets of oats and barley out the front, it’s a place to go for lunch where they have heaps of home-made stuff, but really nicely cooked. I suppose not all of it’s “good for you”… [...]

I had always believed it occurred on the 21st but this morning on the radio they were saying today was the shortest day. (I expect you’ll all observe the occasion by dancing [...]
C & I have left the kids at home with my folks and have booked a room at the Plaza in Glenelg. We’re not there yet, mind. Part of any good break involves standing around in a girly fashion store for an hour while she tries stuff on.
