I used to think that gardening meant either perfectly executing a horticultural vision to the letter, using some kind of magic ‘green thumb’ with an error rate of zero, or else haphazardly hacking away at whatever cropped up and hoping for the best. That might sound ridiculous, but I simply didn’t understand that there’s a …
I’m Jackson. I’m a twenty-nine year old male from America, and I moved to Sydney five years ago to start my own company. I noticed a gap in the market and filled it. To do so, that meant leaving everyone I know and starting a new life on the other side of the world. I …
Pamela needs to get a grip. I appreciate her attention to detail – it’s why we hired her in the first place – but she’s always getting hung up on specifics that are far outside the realm of her role, and it’s driving everyone bonkers. She claims she’s a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and that …
Let me set the scene for you. My property has a big front yard where my children and dog play every chance they get. I have a twelve-year-old daughter and ten-year-old son who both love footy and are developing their skills in their respective teams. When they’re not developing their skills on the oval, they’re …
I have to warn my wife. She’s in great danger, but my phone isn’t working. I’ve had to use a public library to post on a blog and hope this message gets out to her. Unfortunately, my usual social media sites are all blocked here, so I’m doing this as a last resort. There’s a …
I want to sell my house of mirrors. Buying it seemed like a good idea at first. I mean, who wouldn’t want a two-story house that’s basically an amusement park attraction? But, well, let’s just say the novelty wore off pretty quick. I haven’t found my bedroom in weeks and I keep thinking the bathroom …
It’s been pretty hard to get repairs ever since we were turned into ghosts. Ghost Cow reckons we should find a Ghost repair shop, but I keep telling him those don’t exist. He’s a stubborn old fool, but our trio wouldn’t be the same without him. He’s got a great sense of humour and loves …
I think I would like to work with boats. I’ve been considering a career change lately, as I’m not exactly happy waiting tables and dealing with rich people who think I deserve $15 an hour. I’ve always had a fascination with boats, ever since my dad brought one home. My sister and I used to …
When I’m driving in my car, I like to have the air conditioner on and the windows down. It makes it feel more exciting, the air blowing on my face and past my ears, as I fly down the freeway at a hundred km/s per hour. Some people say it’s a waste, that there’s no …
I’ve procrastinated on this for a while, but since I was known as the Skeleton Smasher back in my home realm, I suppose I should be doing something about that skeleton problem now plaguing Melbourne. I bet one of my wayward brethren cast a spell they had no control over, and now there’s a merry …
