Can’t Summer Stay?

So Summer came to an end a few days ago and this makes my heart break a little.I had a really tough end to February. I was missing my Dad a whole lot after selling the car we once shared, a lot was going on with work and I felt like I was being pulled into community drama with people I don’t know, and people who don’t even know me. Sonzie was sick, my co worker went on unexpected leave, my ex is living on the streets and relies heavily...

Deal or No Deal Night

Last Saturday night we had some time to kill before our “horror” movie and so I decided to take my partner David and son Jiedyn to play Deal or No Deal at Explosions Bar and Bowling center in Melton. We played four games. In the first game, I won 87 tickets, Jie went on to win 200 tickets from his case number 3 and David won 7 tickets eliminating the big ticketed cases really early! For our last game, Jie had an idea to...

Presence 2024 Review
Last night my partner David, son Jiedyn and I went to watch a horror film called Presence.It was a completely random choice of Movie and completely last minute.I based the movie purely on the fact that it was horror because Nevaeh wasn't with us.The kids still haven't seen Mufasa which was the other options and the one we actually should have gone with because this show ended up being below average. Mufasa is worth seeing twice in comparison. For anyone interested, here is the trailer..Our ratings went like this..Jie...

Werribee South Beach Day

Last weekend I finally convinced David to come to the beach with me! Since our trip to Inverloch I’ve wanted to go fishing with the kids but they have their own lives now.So finally I packed the car and set off for a day by the sea with just David.After fishing only sea weed out of the boat channel it was still so therapeutic listening to the waves lap up against the sand as the boats passed by. David and I went in the water to cool...
