Today, I’m going to take you on a road trip tour of Adelaide. Not all the cool regional areas, but specifically the city. I know a lot of people complain about Adelaide being boring and plain, but as someone who has lived here my whole life, I can categorically say that is not true. Adelaide …
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.’ …
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 …
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 …

I turned in my seat to see behind me, as a car a few lengths back honked his horn. Nothing interesting – just a guy stuck in traffic, bored. I understood the feeling. The car in front of the honker also tapped his horn, as did the car in front of him. The …
Uh oh, I briefly thought, as I watched my wheel bounce down the highway, away from me. I think I might need that. My car lurched underneath me, the front-right corner supported by nothing. It fell onto the road, even as I slammed the brakes, sending a shower of sparks up into the air …
I waved goodbye to my final passenger, breathing a sigh of relief as their door swung shut with a soft thump. Alone at last! My hand went to the radio and I turned up the music, closing my eyes and sinking back into my chair. I lived for this moment at the end of …
My friend is so entitled and annoying. We went camping over the summer holidays which was so fun and genuinely awesome and yet the whole time she was complaining about something. At first, it was the early wake-up, then the long drive, then the long walk to the toilets from the campsite and so on …
