		<description><![CDATA[My book comes out next month. Remember that book I worked like a lunatic on last year? Yeah that one&#8230; It&#8217;s now called The Modern Women&#8217;s Guide to Domestic Bliss after several name changes and redesigns. But it turns out turning out The Modern Women&#8217;s Guide to Domestic Bliss wasn&#8217;t that blissful. The book was [...]]]></description>

He looked a bit like this: And he sounded terrific. I was there for just one song, Across 110th Street, one of the greatest disco [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I&#8217;m really enjoying about suburbia is entertaining. In New York, people hardly ever have friends over, partly because their apartments are so cramped, partly because they work so hard, and partly because they&#8217;ve never learnt to cook. Instead you spend your social time in restaurants and bars and coffee shops where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll tell you one thing that sucks about New Zealand: the ethnic food. Not all ethnic food. Thanks to its proximity to Thailand and Malaysia there are amazing curries and laksas to be found*, but you really have to hunt for them. And while you hunt, you have to eat a lot of average, overly-sweet, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost everyday someone asks me, &#8216;How are you adjusting to New Zealand?&#8217;. Sometimes they have the most pained expression on their face that I want to give them a hug and tell them not to worry so much. Sometimes I just let them bang on about their own horrendous/traumatic/ongoing return to New Zealand after years [...]]]></description>

But I also have a great excuse. I&#8217;m now six months into my job and it feels as though I&#8217;m only just coming up for air. How hard can [...]]]></description>

(And I like the song.) This weekend, barring a last minute broken leg or a natural disaster, I will shift into my new [...]]]></description>

Of course, me worrying about my friends and family in the Big Apple, while sitting on my dry and well-padded bum in sunny Auckland, New Zealand, doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

No one threw anything. No one stayed later than 5.40 pm. (I&#8217;m not joking &#8211; 5.40!) No one accused me of being [...]]]></description>
