Inspired by...
My favourite thing about this time of year is…
Bluesky days with single-digit temperatures.
When I’m not working, I can be found…
Walking my dogs. I have a couple of rescues, Benny, a beautiful mix of who-knows-what, and Sam, a gorgeous bearded collie.
My favourite meal to cook is…
This changes all the time, but as of this week, roast vegetable soup finished off with a bottle of cream – delicious!
The three words I would use to describe myself are…
Empathetic, organised and ever-so-slightly anxious – the anxiety I’m blaming on perimenopause!
Top of my priorities for self-care is…
Sleep. I am permanently sleep-deprived because of the hours I work, so I try to catch up in the weekends. But even at 6am on a Saturday, my body clock says it’s time to get up – that’s technically a threehour sleep-in, so I guess it’s a win!
A great show I recently watched was…
Mare of Easttown.
Outstanding! Give Kate Winslet all of
the awards!
Life is too short for…
High heels! Sneakers
every day.
The film I always remember is…
Die Hard. No judgement please! It’s a Christmas movie and I won’t have it any other way. I don’t feel remotely festive until I’ve seen Hans Gruber falling out of the Nakatomi Plaza at the hands of John McClane. When I first saw it at age 15, in 1988, I thought Bruce Willis was kinda cute and now, at age 48, I still kinda do.
My go-to karaoke song would be…
Horrendous to listen to because I cannot sing, but that aside, I’d attempt to smash out Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.
When I’m working hard, I unwind by…
Listening to true-crime podcasts, walking my dogs and baking. I love to bake, but I’m not great at following recipes – I’m more a make-it-up-as-Igo kinda girl, which doesn’t always work.
I would spend my last day on Earth…
With my family and animals.
My fondest childhood memory is…
My mum being on the sideline of every netball game I ever played.
At the moment, I’m most looking forward to…
Travelling again!
The greatest joy about what I do is…
Hopefully bringing moments of fun, joy and laughter to people’s mornings – maybe even making a difference from time to time. It’s definitely a privilege to do the job I do.
Top of my bucket list is… New York City, but I fear it may be some time until I get to tick it off.
