The Kimberley, Visit the Bungle Bungles

OK, The individual who pointed out it is a LOOONG way between electrical power points in the Kimberley is absolutely right. Durning my last couple of weeks up there, I have to admit, I was forced to drink a few marginally Kimberley cold beers from my cooler at the end of the day. [...]
What having a Taurean bf does to an otherwise incompetent Sagi girl in the kitchen…
By Ging | September 23rd, 2004 | Comments Off
Being such a ‘foodie’, as all Taureans are, cooking for a Taurean partner automatically raises the bar… and being an extraordinary cook himself only makes matters worse…
Never mind that I can barely boil toast…
However, last night, based on some rapid 4pm internet research that initially went from tuna tacos to me suddenly having an urge [...]

Ging’s asked me to post some pix of her doggit, so if you’re not a dog fan don’t bother reading this post. Madra is Gaelic for ‘dog’ and he’s a chocolate labrador with a penchant for licking, slobbering, and general mischievousness. For all that though, he is pretty cool.
D’liddle Mairn’s Party

I got in trouble for not blogging much of late, but hey, I’ve been busy… What with doggit parties to host an’ all… Yes, that’s right, d’liddle mairn in d’brown seventies trackie turned 1 [or 7 in doggit years] yesterday and of course I HAD to throw him a party - or, as some people [...]
Wearing Undies in Public - Chic or a Major Faux Pas?
By Ging | February 17th, 2004 | 3 Comments »
Oh yes, I’ve really excelled this time! I recently started Bikram Yoga - a quite intensive series of 26 positions in a 40-degree-heated room. A fantastically sweaty 90-minute workout that has you feeling quite spanktacular afterwards…
Anyway, I did it the first time in my usual gym gear, then bought some lightweight pants [in lollypop pink, [...]
Oh my…

Alcoholic Tim Tams…
There is a god.
Next there’ll be beer-flavoured ice-cream and I may never leave the house [and no doubt become the size of one!]
Decadent Ging
What a great word!

It’s a well known fact that I’m a ‘little’ obsessed with linguistics and what-not, so a friend of mine recommended the ‘A Word A Day’ website, where, not so surprisingly (amongst other things), they send you a word a day. To make it fun, said friend and his friend have this thing where they have [...]
Bodytalk
By Ging | January 20th, 2004 | 4 Comments »
Either my body is trying to tell me something [and let's face it, do I ever listen?!] or… I am simply an old woman…
I thought taking the boys [Sean & Chris] to my ‘kicky-fighty’ [Tae Bo] class last night would be fun - an introduction to an integral part of ‘the Ging’…
However, about three-quarters of [...]
A little bit of linguistics
By Ging | December 1st, 2003 | Comments Off
This may have more to do with a Kiwiblog than an Ausblog, but if you’re ever confused between the two accents, this should sort you out! Your guide to Kiwischpeak:
1) Milburn - capital of Victoria
2) Peck - to fill a suitcase
3) Pissed aside - chemical which kills insects
4) Pigs - for hanging out washing with
5) [...]

Dirty f*kin’ f*kers!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a STOOPID little tax debt - my HECS [Higher Education Contribution Scheme] debt [the privilege for gaining a university education]. Being out of the country for 7 years, it’s accumulated interest and is now higher than what it was when I graduated [about 7 grand]! Anyway, a percentage gets taken out [...]
