The Turkish ‘Multi Trip’ – I was half hoping this involved sitting around a nargile filled with marijuana and shrooms, but it turned out to be fun anyway. It was a very full day, crammed with hiking, mud, beach, ruins and watermelon. It was the m...

For the edification of everyone on the interwebs, here's stuff that’s been righteously pissing me off this month: 1. Dragonflies. I have solar powered plastic yellow dragonflies in my garden which are supposed to light up at night and fill my ...

A month ago my company axed our receptionist, technically because the position is redundant but realistically because she was a spiteful, venomous, incompetent old weevil with a bad facelift. The place is much jollier without her, however this po...

Not sure if everyone knows about this and I’m just an idiot (quiet, up the back), but: Open Google, type “why won’t” in the search bar, and then laugh hysterically at the first auto-fill option that appears. What the hell, Google?

Maybe Jamie Durie will marry me now?

I don’t have green thumbs. My dad has a stunning assemblage of bromeliads in his nursery. Each time I visit he unceremoniously tears off a few pups (or baby brom shoots, for those not down wit’ da lingo) for me to stuff in my baggage and bring t...

On day three in Turkeyland, our other two partners in crime, Ems and Susan arrived and completed our little quintet. Ems is a Nottingham girl and confused me immensely for the first day or so by exclaiming “alright?” whenever she greeted me. I la...

Bridesmaid gig on the weekend again, my fourth trip down the aisle. I love, love, love being a bridesmaid – being primped, pampered, photographed and drinking champagne until in comes out my ears, then having a big ol’ sook because the bride is b...

Inga's All Turkish Adventures Part 2

2009-11-03T10:55:38Z

Day 2 in Turkeyland began with a trip to the ‘beach’. There was no sand, which I can’t say is an entirely bad thing. I never enjoyed coming home after a trip to Gunnamata and dumping 3 kilos of sand out of my undies and sweeping the sand dunes ou...

It’s been precisely a month since I came back from Turkey, and the memories are fading distressingly fast. Somewhat like my ability to demolish an entire box of Whitman’s Samplers without it going straight to my thighs. Damn you, disappearing you...
