My daughter loves drawing. She’s loved it for as long as I can remember, even though she’s only just turned five. She started prep this year, and I’ve been getting a lot of feedback from her teachers that instead of playing with the other kids during lunchtime, she’s sitting on a bench drawing unicorns. I …
This is Mr Chowski, back with another report, live from the Resistance base’s newly discovered secret bunker! A huge thank you goes out to Maphira, who installed this place without anybody even knowing about it. A truly genius move! Admittedly, we did have a bit of a scare for a second, even though we …
As the Bender Bot came forward with thumping steps, Maphira closed her eyes and braced herself for what was about to happen. Somehow, she had to resist. If she gave an incorrect location for the Resistance base, she wouldn’t have anything to worry about. If the Bender bot managed to get the truth out of …
I pressed my foot to the brake pedal and felt it give a little under the pressure. My wife caught me frowning. ‘What’s wrong?’ ‘Oh, probably nothing,’ I flashed a reassuring grin at her. ‘Just the brakes.’ She got noticeably paler. ‘What?’ ‘The brakes felt a little spongy, that’s all,’ I laughed. ‘They still work.’ …
So my meeting with the local buyer’s advocate went really well. She was so receptive to the requests that I gave her on behalf of me and my boyfriend, and said she’d definitely be able to help us find our forever home. We explained that we’ll want to raise a family in the house one …
The other boys stood on the beach, watching the unfolding events like seagulls waiting for scraps of meat. Lorcan trailed after Gunnar, gaze downcast. He didn’t dare look at Valdemar as they passed each other; the disappointment on the man’s face would be too much to bear. As they walked, the blonde boy nudged him …
The room was bare but spacious. It was clear that this was one of the finest conveyancing firms Melbourne had to offer, particularly from everything she’d seen on her way in. Maphira couldn’t quite put a finger on it, but everything just had an air of success. She wondered whether this would be the last …
I just moved to a new area which is so exciting! I’ve moved out with friends and we’re in a sharehouse and it’s going really well. There are some dramas, like people leaving their dirty dishes in the sink for days and doing nothing about them and people leaving the TV on too loud, but …
So you know how I ended my last blog post with unless, it’s because I had a thought. It was an interesting thought, that’s for sure. Is it a genius thought, maybe. Will the thought work? Who knows. I spoke with the girls who I live with about going to the landlord and making a …
When my friend’s dad died I really didn’t know what to do. It was such a shock and it’s been really hard to come to terms with, for everyone involved. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to be my friend and her family, who would be still really struggling with the sudden …
