I’m still rocking a full crop and we are homeowners. Credit to my favourite new person, our buyers advocate. Melbourne, you never run out of ways to make me love you. We’re not what you’d call stressy people. In fact, most stress just makes us want to shut down and sleep. I know for …
Our buyers advocate saved my hair. And my money. Read More »
I’d been a competitive tennis player for almost four years when I almost destroyed my knee function. This is how I first found out about why so many athletes rely on hyperbaric chambers for recovery. I’ll spare you the quease-making details, but I thought I was done for the second I realised I was badly …
I beat an injury that almost derailed my career. With AIR. Read More »
I wish people would just hurry up and automate houses already. Feels like we’ve had the technology for years and years now, but people are really dragging their feet about implementing it, much like flying cars and the ability to teleport to other planets for the purposes of tourism. Right now it’s just for really …
What is energy storage all about? I came to Melbourne on a spiritual retreat to do yoga, meditate on the energies of the universe and look at crazy artwork to see what it says about me and my role in the cosmic ballet. And here’s a giant battery. I guess Melbourne had to be known …
My dear mother is looking to trade up her house for a bigger one – no downsizing for this woman! Her rationale is that her impending grandkids will be able to have the run of the huge ground-level space that she envisages. In the part of town she’s lived in for the past thirty years, …
“84 PERCENT?” I yelled down the phone. “ Are you for real?” I’ve never been great on the phone but this was a moment. The guy I’d talked to about saving money for our workshop had just told me how much I can save on electricity by simply switching to commercial LED lighting. Pretty much …
Can’t beat ‘em? Charge ‘em. Clean Energy answered our SOS. Read More »
To wed, is to to fall. Not the stereotypical wedding mantra but I think it has a certain ring to it. Brock and I have been engaged for three years, officially together for seven and unofficially for nine. We are a largely unremarkable couple. I am a teacher, Brock is an accountant. We cook together …
We were offered a shocker of a trade in deal when we bought our new car. So instead of giving the car away (practically) we decided to sell it to our daughter, who needs a good reliable set of wheels for her new job as an area manager. She’s got to get to Geelong and …
NO DEAL- knocking back a trade-in offer that stunk. Read More »
What we always feared has come to pass: Sandrine has had her nervous breakdown. None of us really liked her before, and after the hostile office takeover she turned into even more of a paranoid control freak. Still, we didn’t want anything horrible to happen to her. Practically every meeting one of us said something …
Sometime soon they HAVE to invent holographic imaging technology. And then, we won’t ever even have to leave the house. When you need to go shopping for milk, you just tap a button and it brings up the holographic supermarket. You pick up some holographic milk, pay for it using Bite-Coin, and it gets delivered …
