Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

 
Went to the Chateau Yering yesterday for lunch in the Yarra Valley. Gorgeous place for a wedding (no, don’t even think about it – not mine, unless of course Robbie Williams finally calls...)

All the organisation thats needed before a vacation makes you wonder if its really worth while taking time off....

The catering for Ghost Rider is set up just outside my office today. May go down and have a cuppa with Nicholas Cage at some point during the morning.... Watched a little bit of filming last night after work - many people doing the same. In Los Angeles and Vancouver, people are accustomed to seeing film shoots, but for Melbourne it really is a novelty!

My younger brother leaves today to go and live in London. Although very excited for him, I am also afraid he will experience the horrible few months I had when I first arrived in that city. Three years later and I still shudder thinking of that time…

Highly recommend The Tuck Inn in Healsville where we stayed this weekend. Horse races, laughter and champagne - love weekends like that!

Rumour has it that Declan who I met a few weeks ago in Jan Juc will be in the Big Brother house this year. What the media would give to get their hands on some very "natural" shots my friend took a few weeks ago for the Torquay Football Club calendar... Never known anyone who has been in Big Brother before. Very exciting!

I just booked a holiday. My first holiday in 18 months. Have had one sick day in all that time. Starting to get tired, but I’m sure a week up in Cairns will do me the world of good! I think some Sangria may be on the menu...

Disappointed. Should have followed my heart….

Where is this “something better around the corner” that everyone keeps referring to?

Perhaps I need a holiday...

Welcome back to the blogging world Nellie!

Last night’s tribute to Paul Hester was fantastic, but also very emotional. Musicians galore and some amusing stories told by Mick Malloy, John Clarke and a very very funny Mark Little.

Kookaburra sits in the old gumtree
merry, merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, kookaburra, laugh
kookaburra, gay your life must be.


Council considers naming street after Paul Hester. Nice gesture.

Keep the good vibes coming….

Wish I had a crystal ball to see what I’ll be doing this time next week…..

Going to the wake for Paul Hester tomorrow night at the POW.

"Sister madly waking up the dead
You're systematically stepping on my head
Now you're heading down to get someone
Someone that you should've had years ago
The position is coming through
All the people that you're standing on
All the people that you're standing on
You're hard to get a hand on
Sister madly waking up the dead
You're systematically stepping on my head"

Listened to a few tribute programs to Paul Hester over the weekend. Laughed out loud when a friend admitted school assemblies at his children’s school will never be the same. Paul used to heckle the principal!
