What have you been up to this weekend? Watching We caught Home Again in the cinema. It’s the latest Reese Witherspoon film. It’s a fun little comedy. Reese plays Alice a just-turned 40 divorcing mum of two. At her birthday drinks she hooks up a 27 year-old, and acquires his brother and mate as well who...

As the weekend draws to a close here’s a little of what caught my eye in the last 48 hours. Watching Saw Battle of the Sexes the new Emma Stone movie about the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Oh what a time it was. Female tennis players paid $1,000 for...

It’s a long weekend here in Australia. So it’s been a lazy time. Perfect for some catch-up TV, movies and reading. Watching I’ve been enjoying Doctor Doctor it was shot in my old hometown of Mudgee and gosh it’s looking pretty. In keeping with the doctor theme I’m following along with the final Dr Blake, Craig McLachlan’s...

How is your weekend panning out? Ours involved the usual soccer games on Friday night and Saturday morning followed by a two-day Harry Potter marathon. Princess Child decided it was IMPERATIVE that she watch EVERY Harry Potter film again THIS WEEKEND. I think we have three more to go. I still love Hermoine, seriously those boys would have been...

How’s things in your world? It’s all cupcakes ‘n flowers here in mine. The Princess Child went all homemaker this weekend and made cupcakes, washed her clothes, dried and folded them and cleaned the kitchen. I’m not sure why she is accumlating brownie points but we’ll just go with it. I bought myself a lovely...

I’m working on the assumption that it’s still the weekend here in Australia (it’s a long weekend so we’re not working today), therefore Weekend Notes is not late, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. We’ve had a surprise visit from one of oldest friends this weekend. It meant lots of laughing, reminiscing and...

The sun is shining today after a couple of days of wild weather. We’ve started lighting the fire at night, winter is arriving. It’s been a pretty uneventful week. Just the day-to-day ordinary stuff that goes in homes all over the world. I’m 13,000 words into my manuscript and dreaming about running away from home...

A Room of One’s Own I reckon Virginia Woolf nailed it when she declared “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction”. In fact I think we can apply that to “a woman must have money and a room of her if she is to any...
