#1 Lyndal’s Pink Gems
What a fantastic weekend! 60km trek in searing heat (Saturday) and driving rain (Sunday) with a great team of new and old friends who valued the journey over the result, and still came in first by raising over $107,000 for the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA. While there are more pics to follow, this is…

Actually, that’s not entirely true…I’m just crap at editing, so I’m thinking of introducing a selection committee :) Blow Me (One Last Kiss) If I’m not first and…

Women of Merit
Last week, Australian media was saturated with discussion of Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s new cabinet. Statistical comparisons with cabinets from New Zealand to Africa to Afghanistan were a plenty.
