This is Lanyon Homestead which is under the direction of CMAG an excellent Canberra cultural institution that punches well above its weight, both in the exciting content that they are generating and in the stewardship of both Lanyon and Calthorpes... Continue reading

Ponying up on the promise to write about my workplace. Bossy signs like this make me want to go through these doors. Curiouser and curiouser. Continue reading

There's the French in a nonchalant pose on a chaise lounge in our room at Hotel Hotel. I surprised him with an overnight stay in one of their Meandering rooms last Friday in our home town to check out this... Continue reading

Back here. Must be the seasonal change. Things are good, albeit crazy pants busy. Small people getting less small, French being, as always, exactly who he is. I've been thinking that maybe this should morph into more of a place... Continue reading

Have been gardening and herding cats hanging out with dogs and children. We may have made a garland for the whippet to wear. There's a photo over on Instagram - he doesn't look happy. I also had a haircut recently... Continue reading

Since starting work full-time for the first time since the girls were born a lot has had to slide, as you may have noticed. My garden has been one of those things and my eyes felt the pain of cardiac... Continue reading

We will not speak of this weekend's events and the prospect of sitting through the next few years of conservative, mean-hearted politics. Instead I will focus on this weekend's Trash and Treasure which was more weighted towards the second T.... Continue reading

Lots of reading goes on in this house, largely because I am a hard arse who won't let the small people watch anything except episodes of Behind the News and only then when I can watch with them to pretend... Continue reading

Some of the last fires of the season are happening now. There's a wild rumour that it will be 27 degrees next week so we are milking this little baby for all she's worth. There's intense competition for that seat... Continue reading

DEEPLY in love with my new old Russian wrist watch from the 1950's. I think I paid about $30 so it's prolly no surprise that it stopped three times today. I find this somewhat lackadaisical approach to time endearing currently... Continue reading

These are the roller derby outfits. I had nothing to do with this btw. The smallest person is desperate to read the comic book and can often be found doing noisy mouth breathing over her sister's shoulder. Although the Red... Continue reading

It's important to acknowledge that i don't really know what this blog is about. At all. I discovered this while trying to categorise Rummage on Feedly. It sure as hell isn't a craft blog now. Fashion, no. Cooking, no. Deco/interiors... Continue reading

And here's what I currently look like. Just to prove that I have moved on from sparkly pants although some might argue that the hair is an 80s throw back. Mum knitted my cardy, that's her belt too (there wasn't... Continue reading

That's what's known in the business as a long time between drinks. With the year of sparkly pants behind me I feel it's time to get this ramshackle show back on the road. Lots of good things in the wind,... Continue reading

It's a Western, people

Poor old Rummage has fallen into disrepair. There are metaphorical tumbleweeds in the form of junk spammers ago go . All it needs is a whistling wind, lone violin and John Wayne to appear menacingly on the left. In contrast,... Continue reading
