So Edie’s secret is out or at least to Tim anyway. While Edie’s secret was bound to come out eventually, I was surprised by the writers’ choice to not only have Edie reveal her secret of her own volition but also to have the majority of the episode revolved around it. While it was never in Julia to spill her
Read moreSo this episode was a double episode apparently. This episode took the characters and the focus back to Walperinga as Layla has organised for the old band, Cardiac Arrest, to play at the pub with Billie. While they’re all there, they also run into Gus in the most hilarious way, but I’ll get to that. I liked the writers’ choice
Read moreThis episode picks up where we left off and focuses more on the minor characters–especially Harriet and Layla. Harriet’s anger at Susan for her ignoring her needs, as well as her treatment of Billie, comes to a head when she looks into “divorcing” Susan and trying to sell her share of the motel–both of which she tries without success. Interestingly
Read moreThis episode mainly revolved around Julia, Edie, Roxy and even Genevieve, being interviewed for a piece on the obvious A Current Affair spoof, Sunday Spotlight. I felt Natasha’s (Jane Hall) calls to everyone was a nice thread throughout, with it coming to a hilarious head when the piece airs with Genevieve’s anecdote on Edie’s experience at a nudist beach and

The Resolution Run Series is a series of three fun runs held in Canberra throughout the year, with the aim of raising funds for and awareness of various men’s health issues. The first run was held on 26 February to raise awareness of testicular cancer, the

The Melbourne Marathon Festival consists of five distances—a marathon, a half-marathon, a 10km run, a 5.7km run and a 3km walk. I chose to complete the 3km walk, a shorter distance to the previous fun runs I’ve completed as part of my “Fun Walking not Running Tour”. Unusually, the
Read moreAs it has been a year since the season 1 finale aired, I had to re-read my review on it to be able to review this episode, even though Mauboy provided a voiceover summary of the season at the beginning. My review of the finale focused on Harriet’s misguided actions and mistakes to keep Billie around, Susan pretending to be
Read moreSo there’s a potential new sister. In all honesty Kasey’s (Emily Barclay) appearance was a real let down. She only appears sporadically throughout the episode, being an imposition to Julia, and whether she is Julius’ daughter is never established. While the writers would be leaving this open to keep the arc going, I felt that the build up and the
Read moreWell today was the fail of all fails as I only managed a solo micro novel of seven words on making a New Year’s Resolution under the theme of “Something New”. My micro novel, New Year’s Resolution under theme of “Something New” can be read here.
Read moreSo just when I felt like a failure on Day 1, I felt like one even more so on Day 2 due to only managing 92 words. The short stories/novels didn’t come to me as easily on this day, I only managed to write short stories/novels around the theme of “Breakups and Breakdowns” which were really me blowing off steam
