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

I decided the night before (Oct 31) to write the short stories with a different theme each day. The “Firsts” theme for the first day of NaNoWriMo 2017 was a fitting
Read moreSo the Pilot established the show’s premise and dealt with the fallout of the IVF scandal on the three sisters, shortly after they all met. This episode dealt with the fallout on some of the girls’ family members, as well as their developing relationships, getting off to a great start by picking up where the viewers were left off–the girls’
Read moreWell here we are again, NaNoWriMo eve! Tomorrow is the start of National Novel Writing Month, this year will mark my second go at it. Last year I decided to try it for the first time to challenge myself as a writer, and to finally write the story that I have had planned out in my head for about a
Read moreSo after much promotion, Sisters finally premiered last night. The job of a pilot is to establish a show’s premise and characters and set up story arcs for the season.
