Beautiful Songs I Find Hard to Listen to
Have you ever had a song you really like, but you struggle to listen to it because it makes you want to cry? I realised the other day that there are actually a few songs that make me feel like this now,

How Civilised is Civilisation?
When you hear or read the word 'civilisation' or 'civilised' what does it make you think? While there is no single definition it's generally seen as a good thing to be civilised. It gives peaceful connotations

From A Pom's Eye View
I should probably give a quick explanation of the term Pom. I used to think that everyone knew what it jokingly referred to, but unless you're British or Australian apparently it isn't actually common

Checking My Privilege or Counting My Blessings
A recent request by someone to check my privilege made me realise that I've actually done this for most of my life, we just used to call it counting our blessings before this new phrase became popular.

Things are More Complex than they Seem on the Surface
The other day I saw a humorous sketch on Instagram with the point of view of two European mainlanders cringing at the idea of a Brit washing dishes and then putting them to drain without rinsing. As you'd

History is Usually Good, Bad and Ugly
Recently I overheard my husband listening to someone give an argument on why the crusades were justified. I'm not sure what he was responding to, but he seemed quite incensed and defensive, so I'm guessing

Thoughts on Australia's Social Media Ban for Children
On 10th December 2025 Australia's law to restrict under 16s accessing many social media platforms came into effect. It was declared officially in December 2024 with the affected social media companies

Does History Repeat or Rhyme?

An Epiphany for the Week
Last year a new bouldering gym opened in the city centre. It took a little while for my youngest daughter and I to finally brave the city and its parking and pay it a visit. Quite a few of the more advanced

How Do We Let Life Shape Us?
I once heard someone say that people thrive with adversity, or something along those lines. It made me wonder if that's why when we don't have hardships to deal with we can end up making mountains out

As Virtuality Seeps into Reality...
Something I've been coming across mentioned as a point of concern with social media a fair amount recently is attention algorithms. Social media companies get their income through advertising so algorithms

Apparently homeschooling in Australia is on the rise and a big chunk of that is down to bullying in schools. I recently came across an article arguing that despite some recent suicides due to school bullying

If you have any interest in health and nutrition you've probably come across talk about seed oils being bad for you. It's not a new discussion, but it's certainly become more prominent in recent years.
