Little Aussie Battler

General update on life in Brisbane. It should be very hot, being November, but it’s been quite lovely and mild. Yay. Update on the boyfriend, #goldenboy – who is away for work at the moment. I also fill you in my new (3 months ago) legal job. It is a bit challenging, that’s for sure. […]

Final part of my China holiday – around the streets of Beijing. It’s nice to be able to use a credit card for a change too. LOL I have done a few little tourist tours whilst here, and tried to avoid the polution of #Starbucks coffee shops. China is now so rich and so developed […]

par 2 of my Chinese holiday. Mostly I talk about The Great Wall of China!! #amazing it was so peaceful. so big. so long. so quiet. a truly memorable experience. Tipping for the tours was really annoying! America’s influence on the world

part 1 of my China holiday, in October 2017. I start the holiday in Chongqing, a mega city of around 30 million people, built on hills/mountains on the side of 2 rivers. Then we go on to Chengdu – the Panda capital. They were so cute. click here to listen to mp3 online or download […]

We start out today, riding the train into Central Station. Choo Choo, all aboard for the Battler Express.

Such a beautiful evening for walking the dog. Don’t you just love winter (even if it’s not at all cold)? Look at the clear blue sky. The birds are chirping. The moths are eating my winter woolies that I never get to wear.

on this (not) chilly Winter’s day, come walk Alan with me. a little bit of traffic noise, but nothing like at my old house. Oh and some yapping dogs. I have an update on trying to sell my lovely Peugeot 208. Will be sad to see it go. I have some good news on the […]

Join me on a happy holiday – to ROME!! Then I jump to the United Arab Emirates. I am on this crazy holiday to meet my parents, who are embarking on a 4 week cruise from Rome to Singapore. What is it with old people and cruising?! #bigfatty click here to download the MP3 or […]

a bit of a chit chat about life, work, job applications, and a great concert I went to last night! MEGA 90s !! also, a listener comment from Fey Driver

2 days left of Summer – and gee those Autumnal blues are getting to me today. Well….. at least that is my excuse now – 3 days later. I do a lot of pondering about life, friends, work, love, houses, Pride48 and junk. [but mostly, bitching about work] Yep, it gets a bit depressing. Hope […]

hottest news off the press, from the hottest of hot February cities. Crazy town hot people. I have a new housemate. An international backpacker has moved in! I have also follow Big Fatty’s television advice and discovered Donald Trump is basing his executive orders on it. #horrorofhorrors depression: you’re standing in it. I have to […]

it is 2017 and here I am people. Back with a vengence. Single handedly going to STOP Pride48 from imploding on itself and dying a slow pitiful death. I only get down the street, when some neighbours bump into me and introduce themselves. (Hot Aussie guy and Japanese lady) After that I interuption, let me […]

cast your mind back to 2016, August to be exact. I am on what was, I think, my final EVER work trip.

Can you believe it – I’m in Western Australia! My 2nd last work trip for the year (ever?), sees me in Perth, Albany and then up to the outback of WA, near the NT border. so exciting

I’ve been to the dump, and off loaded a car full of rubbish! Now I drive home, and mull over my house-owning life… Yeah, could be a bit sad. #regrets and #thankfulness A brief stop at Woolworths for some groceries, breaks the mood and tension. Oh yeah – some great advice for buying a home… […]
