My partner in Dyson Dancing Crime, Clairey Hewitt.  Note my multi-tasking with the wine glass and the Dyson.  Impressive?

Editor’s note: Late on the evening of March 19, I texted my husband from the Aussie Bloggers Conference dinner: “Babe, I’ve just danced on stage playing a Dyson like a guitar while singing Shania Twain – I feel like a Dyson – and I’ve won you an accessories kit.” Now most husbands would probably notContinue Reading

This one’s for the bloke in your life: ManLand September 2010

Well… how are you all feeling after the last few weeks in sport?
