It's a perfectly still suburban Monday at the place where I work. The bottom row of my computer screen is flashing with unread orange messages. She did this; she said that...I've chosen to i… Read More

It's Show Day today in Hobart. I don't like the Hobart Show, it lacks the muddy omnipresence of the Burnie show in the local community, but I enjoy the day off. It means I've avoided a day i… Read More

It's Friday afternoon in a Tasmanian suburb. The rain gently coats the pensioners outside with something to complain about, and my lunch break is fading from me all too quickly. The problem… Read More

I am the creation of an extraordinary series of inter-generational co-incidences. My personality has been the series of a lot of events, some kind, some cruel, some moving, some scarring, so… Read More

I'm just talking to ya...sigh...I'm just talking through ya...It's Monday morning where I work. There's a Chinese lady at the end of the road with a colander on her head. She's gurgling like… Read More

My Mum 1nce asked me what my first memory was. This was during 1ne of this interminable Foxtel ad-breaks, as I sipped tea and tried to pretend I wasn't disturbing her with my visit. My Mum w… Read More

"I guess Mary Poppins had an accident"...I say this to my drinking companion at the Telegraph when we step over a smashed up blue umbrella. The umbrella looks a little too posh to be lying i… Read More

I was born in a country that doesn't believe in beauty or positivity. Not for us the broad beaming optimism of the American citizen. We support a national football team pathologically addict… Read More

My fridge isn't working. It's genuinely not working - this isn't the set up to a joke from the 30tys. It's making a sort of old person in a nursing home who's given up on life hum and whine… Read More

Monday morning - I have the same recurring real life nightmare, and it always starts with me thumping my own steering wheel as the splash of rain water goes over my car. Inevitably, a 4our w… Read More
