You can’t rule anything in or out, apparently, except ruling things in or out. It has now been officially proven. There are some longstanding, hard no’s in my life. Especially to do with food. I even have a list of what I call poison. I don’t know what is happening to me. Sometime soon I’m …
The Festival of Tina is all about collecting memories. But finding the right words to describe these experiences is what makes it fun for me. Apparently I now have so many ‘sayings’ that I have to write a book. I think I will call it Tina’s Lingo. I started writing this post on the plane …
It is the opposite of walking along and a seagull shits on you from a great height. You walk into a bar, stand on the sidelines of a frisbee game or stretch your legs on a plane and…. tada… an interesting person appears. It is like magic. You all know that this has been happening …
The travel mindset is just that: a mindset, not a destination. And I was reminded today that you don’t have to be travelling to have it. I set out for a walk on the coldest day ever in my home town of Thirroul. To those from ‘overseas’ our idea of cold and yours do differ. …

You might think my work trips are just an excuse to visit friends in the USA. You’re wrong. I really do go to the office in New York. And then I sing at the Bitter End. And then I visit friends.
There is nowhere more romantic than Hawaii. So when the internet said that the cheapest way to get to Arizona for a conference was via Honolulu I literally swooned. Who knew I’d end up on a honeymoon? Turned out, this trip was to be abit like marriage and camping. Overrated. It all started out well, …
Obviously the writing gods must know I’ve been a bit lax about working on my novel lately. Who would have thought there’d be an actual crime scene out the front of my house on Christmas Eve, followed by a medical emergency on the train to Yamba. Writer’s block over. We love a spa in Thirroul, …
It’s been a few weeks since I hung up the pink boots and I haven’t missed it. To be fair most of that time has been spent sick in bed. But it’s good to know that with or without the boots on, I can still manage traffic. Yesterday, I finally dragged myself from my sick …
