I have a blog?
Its been a few months. Not sick, not pregnant, not major life incident. Just very very busy. March and April were busy with Commonwealth games volunteering- fun but tiring.

Cookies
I made some chocolate chip cookies. I used the new york times recipe. I blame this on my sister. Last week she texted me to ask if I had ever heard of new york style cookies. No! Apparently a cookie store has opened in Perth seeling these. As far as I can tell it means dense,…

On holiday!
Partway through the arduous process of getting to Europe. We flew from Brisbane to Seoul today, are staying overnight at a nice hotel (courtesy of KoreanAir) and will be flying to Paris tomorrow. Now I remember why I have not been enthused about travel to places far away- the endless time in a flying tin…

Cake
I survived my birthday. Less traumatic than expected, not as uneventful as expected. Some birthday cake and celebratory drinks. Not pictured- terrible cake, small children vomiting and open mic night at the bar (none of which was terrible, but none planned).
