Day …
Case numbers: NEW RECORD for Sydney, 633. Today was a weird day. I woke up after spending a long night in the sewing room, finishing off my vest for class this morning. I was so excited after sewing my first zipper that I sewed two more and then the whole thing. Of course the teacher…

Day 58- floating around in a covid universe
Twas a sunny day as I strolled the streets of Glebe, with a groodle in hand and two wedding dresses tucked under both arms. I’ve had this terrible addiction of scrolling through fb marketplace at around midnight each night, to deal with my lack of Instagram and now social-life. Life was looking more bleak as…

Day 55: Girls Just Want To Have Fun
My flatmate took the following week off work, due to having the covid test, a banking holiday and the weekend. Georgia was just 19 yearsold and already had a dog, a boyfriend and a full-time job. Her job payed basically nothing, so to say that she was totally ecstatic to have a few days off…

Inner Jerry- Day31
“How have you been?“ What a question… it seems to be the most important one to ask over these last few weeks. How are you? You doing okay? How are things? Want to play monopoly? I guess it was pretty important with suicide rates in America having peaked recently and India still in terrible shape…

America, Baby!
Late one morning, I rushed into work, apron flying like a black crow attacking my back, as I whipped it around my waist and pretended like I had been at work for the past 5 minutes. Next hands take coffee after coffee, croissant to plate, make a juice so we need orange yes, another orange…

COVID Lockdown Day 10
I wake to hear the usual, “ Hungry Jacks maintenance- how can I help you?” It was the 10th day of COVID lockdown. The next thing I usual feel is Kevin’s curls brushing my face, as he rearranges himself closer to me on my pillow. I don’t think he’s aware that he is not small…

@2am, I killed a Frog
I will not sleep with a man who has a cat called Taco– I will not sleep with a man who has a cat called Taco, I WILL NOT SLEEP with A MAN who HAS A CAT, called TACO!” At 1:30am last Saturday night, I found myself cutting 4 by 4cm squares made of fleece,…

To be or not to be, a relationship Prezil
It was the first Monday in May, and today should have been the fashion event of the year- The Met Gala Exhibition. Instead it was pushed to September, as it and I were feeling rather the same- tired. More tired than usual, if we were being honest. And a little sad. I was trying…

A Night of Inedible People
So after my first weekend at my new job, ( pre-lock-downs ) Bianca and I sailed to Randwick on an Uber cloud of $20, as it poured an ocean outside. The theme of the housewarming was ‘anything-but-a-cup’, so Bianca bought her coffee brewing-pot and filled my portable dog water bottle with red wine. The red…

I miss people in really weird ways
After a break up, it’s become a pattern of mine to think of their mums. Sharon. Another Sharon. Someone else and now Hanna. And weirder still, have to fight the urge to gift them fancy footwear post-break-up. I failed my most recent break-up, and so my phone still beeps with a pair of fluffy brown…

A clean life
It’s 8:25pm on a Friday night. I think I’ve been so busy I forgot how beautiful the sky was. How peaceful the world looks when most people are either sleeping or balancing on a bar-stool somewhere, with a tangerine or murky black drink in their hands. I remember dating this 23 year old banker who…

To Sever A Limb
One Wednesday, I spent the afternoon doing a quick clean up of the house. I packed the dishwasher, changed the sheets on the bed, microwaved some eggs on toast for a quick pre-lunch and began organising myself for afternoon plans. I was suppose to be meeting up with an old friend. One I hadn’t seen…
