I themed my blog from a Concrete Blonde song ’100 Games of Solitaire’ with “any place with a bar and a bathtub’s alright” being part of the lyrics- as well as “I got a bottle of tequila baby, who needs friends?”.
I’m not saying drink is the be-all-end-all, but it has certainly been a big part of my life (I went to a professional bartender school after Uni to do something different and ended up running a bar in Singapore for a few years). I really like the idea of mixing it up. Australia in particular can be boring when it comes to drinks – wine or beer? Yawn. I wouldn’t mind publishing a bar book one day- one that matches the right cocktails with just the right occasion because I find that some people just don’t know what cocktails to have and when.
Sundays are my pamper day. I feel better about myself when I have a long bath- read a trashy romance and play some music while putting a rinse in my hair and a mask on my face. I do my nails. I prepare – mentally and physically- for the week ahead. There is something entirely magical about a proper bath- and nothing can beat it nights all through winter!
My other passion is writing, so- to be perfectly honest- I decided to start blogging to force myself to sit down and write something everyday. It may be as simple as copying out a recipe and writing nonsense because I’m completely uninspired, but at least I’m sticking to some sort of plan. One has to have a plan.
As far as I am concerned- I’m just a single girl in her late thirties who has lived all over the world and tried a lot of different drinks- soaked in a lot of different bathtubs- and just wants to keep on keeping on while writing about it.
