#Toast@TheCoast By Kim Browne The first quarter of 2017 has started and the year is off to an excellent start – I’m just not quite sure where January and February went! The Toasters are all well into the year, with no luxury of “easing into things”. It’s just been work at full throttle from day [...]
#2016mustfall By Kim Browne It seems everyone I speak to agrees on one thing: #2016mustfall. It’s been a tough, hectic year and everyone around me deserves a break! Our office will be closed from 15 December (end of year staff lunch) until 4 January 2017 so The Toasters can recharge batteries and come back ready [...]
The holidays are coming By Kim Browne We’ve reached that crazy, wonderful time of year when the countdown to the December holidays seems to rev up. There’s less than eight weeks to Xmas and everyone seems to need everything super-urgently. The problem is when everything is urgent, we can’t really prioritise anything and we blindly [...]
Hello summer By Kim Browne Just when I thought we’d had all the bad news for the year, we heard about the passing of Louis and my first boss in the media industry, Bob Harrison earlier this month. It really has been one heck of a year and I guess it’s not over until it’s [...]
Spring is in the air! By Kim Browne Spring is my favourite time of the year. After a tough few winter months, I am more than happy to throw myself into the last quarter of the year. I saw on Facebook earlier this week that Xmas is just 16 Mondays away… This time of year [...]
Winter solstice By Kim Browne The winter solstice has come and gone and even though some say “the worst of winter is yet to come”, it’s always a turning point for me. Every day it stays lighter for longer and soon we’ll be waking up to spring. I’m not a winter person and I like [...]
You never know what can happen By Kim Browne I can’t believe we’re already five months into the year and winter isn’t coming... it’s already here! Five years in, we remain busier than ever and have really not had time to catch our breath. The month that’s been was a life-changing one for me personally, [...]
Viva five! By Kim Browne “To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue. These five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.” Confucius It’s hard to believe but Twisted Toast has reached its milestone 5th birthday and there’s been plenty reminiscing happening this month. Before you think we forgot to [...]
Loving the Like By Kim Browne Like is so over-used and I’m just loving the new Facebook emojicons. I had to physically stop myself from loving, wowing and laughing my way through the latest posts this morning. It’s nice to have an angry & sad face too – you don’t really want to “like” anyone’s misfortune. Awkward [...]
Ground control to Major Tom… By Kim Browne If ever I needed an extra day – 2016 is a great year to get it! After liking and sharing a minion Facebook post, proclaiming 2016 starts again on 1 February, as January was just a trial month, I’ve decided to own it. Which technically means I’ve [...]
