SHADE SOLUTIONS TO PROVIDE MAX COMFORT
With summer in full swing and outdoor entertaining high on the agenda, it’s the perfect time to enhance your home’s outdoor areas for maximum comfort and versatility.
Whether you’re looking to protect against the sun or keep your indoor spaces cooler, there are stylish shade solutions to suit every style of home from contemporary to coastal and country chic.
“Outdoor awnings not only
extend your living space but also provide essential sun protection and airflow for a more enjoyable entertaining area,” said Diana Altiparmakova, Head of Product and Marketing – Luxaflex Window Fashions.
“Windows are a major source of heat gain, with up to 87 per cent of heat gained through uncovered windows. Stopping the heat of the sun from entering your home is significantly more efficient than attempting to cool your home after the heat has entered. By
reflecting harsh Australian UV rays, awnings also help maintain a home’s internal temperature, offering both comfort and energy efficiency.
“Maximising living spaces with a seamless indoor-outdoor transition has been a key home design trend over the past years, and shows no signs of slowing down.
Choosing the right outdoor shading solution is a combination of functionality and design to create spaces that are comfortable as well as visually stunning to add
long-term value to their properties.”
When selecting an awning, consider your home’s architectural style, the area you need shaded, and your preferences for colour, fabric, and functionality.
For Australia’s harsh climate, the Luxaflex Evo Awning range is a versatile option with six different models designed to suit a variety of home styles and layouts, and a choice of fabrics, finishes, and operating systems to meet a homeowner’s unique needs.
If you’re dealing with large openings or challenging weather conditions, the Luxaflex Evo MagnaTrack Awning is a standout option. Equipped with advanced Neodymium Magnet technology, it’s the most technologically advanced straight-drop outdoor awning on the market, offering superior wind resistance and stability.
“WINDOWS ARE A MAJOR SOURCE OF HEAT GAIN”
Flexibility is key to creating functional outdoor spaces. For ultimate flexibility, retractable awnings like the Luxaflex Folding Arm Awning provide shade on demand, allowing you to adjust based on the time of day or weather. In smaller spaces, Straight Drop Awnings add a stylish and contemporary finish while delivering privacy and sun protection. For a touch of traditional charm, Canopy Awnings pair beautifully with mid-century homes, adding classic appeal to doors and windows.

MAKE YOUR RESOLUTION TO BE SAFER, ALL YEAR
How are your New Year’s resolutions going in the lead up to Christmas and New Year’s Eve 2024? Maybe this year we could all commit to some Water Safety resolutions, and to implementing them all year round?
Supervise – Keep Watch! A lapse in adult supervision was the major risk factor in 100 per cent of all toddler drowning deaths last year, and drowning remains the number one cause of accidental death in children under five, with most deaths in this age group occurring in backyard pools. Don’t be distracted when with children around water – nothing is more important than their safety. Put the phone down and enjoy this precious time in the sun. Never assume someone else is watching.
Learn To Swim. Every water safety education programme has a common message – learn to swim – from babies to children to adults. It is a proven fact that swimming lessons save lives. The sooner your child can get safety back to the edge of the pool unaided, the better. Make this year your year to get your kids into lessons, and to learn yourself if required.
Fence the pool and shut the gate. Accidental falls into water remain the leading activity prior to drowning among children under five. Check the fence is safe and cannot be climbed, and that the pool gate is self latching. Barriers

provide an important extra layer of protection but are never a substitute for constant adult supervision.
Watch your mate – don’t let your mates drink and drown. The message is simple: wear a lifejacket when on the river, avoid consumption of alcohol and drugs around water, know your limits, don’t take any risks,
and never swim alone.
Respect the river. We are very lucky to live so near to the beautiful Nepean River and Penrith Beach, however the flat, still surface of an inland waterway can give a false sense of security, and currents, undertows or submerged objects can prove to be very dangerous. Royal Life Saving Australia’s Respect the River education program has decreased river drownings by 18 per cent since its inception in 2015, however we still have some way to go. Be aware of your location. Swim between the flags and in patrolled areas only at the beach, and be aware of any rip currents.
Learn CPR and educate children about water safety. Would you know what to do in an emergency? If the answer is no, make it your resolution to learn CPR in 2025.
Let’s all make 2025 a year to improve the swimming and water safety skills of all Australians and to see more local children reach all of the recommended swimming benchmarks, for lifelong safe and active participation in physical aquatic activities and recreation. If your children are not yet in lessons – please enrol them. If your children are learning to swim – keep them in lessons until they are truly competent.
See you in 2025!
NEW YEAR FOOTWEAR
When we think of the beginning of a new year, we often think about New Year’s resolutions and the changes that we wish to make for the year ahead. One of the most common resolutions made is to live an active lifestyle and engage in physical activity. With that in mind, it is important that we are wellequipped and ready for this change and that includes appropriate footwear.
The first thing we need to consider is to ensure the shoe is the right choice of footwear for the activity.
A walker shoe may be a great shoe to stroll around the shops, however, may not be cushioned or supportive enough to stabilise your foot during running.
Additionally, if you decide to take up a specific sport, such as a court-based sport, technical running shoes typically do not provide stability for lateral movements whereas a cross trainer would.
Secondly, the shoe and its technological features need to complement your specific foot structure and function.
A pronated (flat arch) foot posture would require more stability in comparison to an avoided (high arch) foot posture which would benefit from additional cushioning.

Any change in physical activity levels places the body under certain stresses and demands. This is OK as this is how our body adapts and changes as we improve. However, if the demands are too excessive and the body is unable to accommodate, injury may occur. If you feel that your pain is more than fatigue-related pain, it is best to book an appointment with one of our clinicians to ensure your footwear is suitable and to determine if there is a need for additional support such as orthotics.
As we enter a new year fast, millions of people around the world will have just made resolutions and hope to stick with them throughout the year.
A recent survey indicated that 15 per cent of New Year’s resolutions are financial goals. Not surprisingly, most resolutions fail. Two key reasons for this are, we often set ourselves overly optimistic goals that are in reality difficult to achieve and, often our goals are vague with no plan on how to achieve them.
The top three financial New Year’s resolutions set in Australia are; saving more, spending less, and reducing debt. While these are great in theory, they are too broad and don’t focus on the small and simple ways to achieve these goals.
Turning vague broad concepts into SMART goals will significantly increase the chance of being successful. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. Instead
of saving more, a SMART goal would be to save $100 per week.
These goals are further enhanced if we can identify why we are saving the money.
Is it for a house deposit, a holiday, our children’s education or retirement?
Saving $100 per week to purchase a house in 2024 would be an excellent goal.
There are some excellent habits that assist us in achieving these goals.
1. Keep track of your spending – that way you are able decipher between your essential and discretionary monthly expenses and pinpoint areas where you can reduce spending, increase savings or decrease debt. Try to identify spending that adds little or nothing to your life and re-direct that to your goal.
2. Save first – Once you have identified how much you can save, put that money aside. Better still, also separate out
all non-discretionary spending , the remainder is for you to spend.
3. Pay off your credit card debt – Credit card debt is a millstone around our neck. Interest rates are very high, normally around 20 per cent. If you have any additional funds, they should initially be used to repay credit card debt. You won’t receive a return anywhere near 20 per cent without significant risk. Once you have paid off your credit card, you will significantly increase your disposable income. Those savings can be re-directed to your goal.

PREPARING PETS FOR FIREWORKS FESTIVITIES
Fireworks can bring a dazzling end to celebrations like New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Australia Day, but for our pets, these noisy spectacles can be terrifying. Whether your pet has faced fireworks before or this is their first experience, a little preparation can go a long way in keeping them calm and safe.
Here are 10 practical tips to help your furry friend cope with fireworks:
1. Plan ahead with a vet visit: If your pet has a history of extreme stress during fireworks, or if you’re unsure how they’ll react, consult your vet well in advance. Discuss options like pheromone sprays, diffusers, or even medication to ease anxiety. Acting early
ensures you have time to implement a plan.
2. Pheromone diffusers: Plug-in pheromone diffusers mimic calming natural chemicals, creating a soothing environment for your pet. Place them around the house a few weeks before fireworks season to maximise their effect.
3. Adjust dog walks: Change your dog’s walking schedule to avoid peak fireworks times. An early evening walk can tire them out and reduce their chances of being outdoors during noisy celebrations. Always keep dogs on a leash during this period to prevent sudden escapes if they’re startled.
4. Keep cats indoors: Cats that roam freely outdoors can be at risk during fireworks displays. Ensure your feline friend is safely inside before dark and lock the cat flap to keep them from venturing out.
5. Create a safe space: Designate a quiet, comfortable corner of your home as a retreat for your pet. Include their favourite toys, bedding and water. Let them come and go freely to avoid adding stress. Many pets feel safer when they can hide. Leave accessible spaces under beds, behind furniture, or in cozy nooks. For cats especially, these spots can provide much-needed security.
6. Soundproof your home: Close windows, curtains, and blinds to reduce the noise and
flashes of fireworks. This also prevents your pet from attempting to escape.
7. Mask the noise: Turn on a TV or radio to drown out the loud bangs with familiar, soothing sounds. Opt for calming music or your usual programs to reassure your pet that all is well.
8. Stay at home: If possible, have someone stay with your pet. Your presence offers comfort and reassurance. Act as normal as possible – your calm demeanour can help them feel safe.
9. Offer treats and toys: Keep your pet occupied with interactive toys or treat-filled puzzles. These can distract them from the commotion and reward their bravery.
10. Update microchip details: In case your pet runs away, ensure they are microchipped, and their contact details are current. This is crucial for reuniting lost pets with families. By preparing in advance and taking these steps, you can help your pet feel more secure and less frightened during fireworks season. Remember, their comfort and safety should always come first.
If you have concerns about your pet’s anxiety, don’t hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian for advice. The team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital wish you all a Merry Christmas with safe New Year celebrations!

AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
Unique Uranus and joyful Jupiter are transiting through your family and friends’ zones so strive to be more generous towards loved ones, as you view a troubled relationship from a more philosophical perspective. Your Christmas motto is from singer-songwriter-activist Annie Lennox, “Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.” With Venus visiting your sign, this week is all about socialising with loved ones and having fun.
TAURUS
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
With Mars reversing through your domestic zone, you’ll feel like cleaning, de-cluttering, and re-arranging your living space or tackling a delayed DIY project during the holiday season. But Uranus squares Venus (your ruling planet), so Bulls can expect a busy and bamboozling week. Prepare for some very short timelines. You don’t work well when other people try to hurry you. Have the confidence to cruise at your own preferred pace this Christmas.
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
Most Leos love to live large and enjoy life’s little (and big) luxuries. This week, with Mars reversing through your sign, there’s a tendency for you to overdo things even more than usual – like buying extravagant presents, overdressing, overeating and over-drinking. So some Lions will have trouble getting started on Boxing Day, as your body reacts to all the rich treats and alcoholic beverages you enthusiastically over-consumed on Christmas Day!
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
With Venus and Pluto (your ruler) in your domestic zone on Xmas Day, many Scorpios will host festive celebrations at home. But communication between guests looks tricky, as argumentative retrograde Mars stirs up sensitivities. It will take your very best diplomatic (and acting) skills to keep children under control, parents from getting paranoid, and family members from feuding. When in doubt, take 10 deep breaths and continue … the show must go on!
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
Steady Saturn helps to stabilise and conserve your energy throughout a long and hectic Christmas Day. Then you’ll be able to enjoy the Yuletide celebrations … without feeling totally exhausted by bedtime! Many Pisceans will spend the post-Christmas period at home, as you reflect on 2024 and look ahead to 2025. So your motto for the week is from birthday great, writer Henry Miller, “One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.”
GEMINI
MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
You’ll need to be extra diplomatic if you want to avoid a fraction too much friction on Christmas Day. With Mars reversing through your communication zone (and Saturn squaring your ruler Mercury) misunderstandings are likely so tread carefully. Jupiter is jumping through Gemini, so focus on friendship, generosity and community spirit. Your motto for the week comes from writer (and birthday great) Henry Miller, “Do anything, but let it produce joy.”
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
This week Mercury (your patron planet) opposes Jupiter and squares Saturn, so you may feel a bit out of sorts this Christmas. Many Virgos have a very delicate digestive system which is easily upset by stress, rich food, too much alcohol, overwork and over-excitement. If you pace yourself, then you (and your sensitive stomach) will enjoy the festive season even more. Simple meals – in small amounts – and plenty of sleep is the smart and sensible way to go.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
Saturn (in your domestic zone) favours traditional Christmas celebrations, surrounded by family and/or friends. Choose your words wisely as Saturn squares (and Mercury opposes) your ruler Jupiter. If you’re not careful, you could blurt out the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time and upset a relative or stir up an old family grievance. Smart Sagittarians will simmer down, hold your tongue, and think things through before you speak.
HOROSCOPES
ARIES
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
You’re in the mood for plenty of fun and festive cheer. However, with your ruler Mars in retrograde mode (and Saturn squaring Jupiter) too much haste could land you in trouble, especially involving family, friends and/or neighbours. So do your best to get the balance right between thinking things through and being spontaneous. When it comes to Christmas presents, choose ones that bring joy and inspiration, like soulful music and beautiful books.
CANCER
JUNE 22 TO JULY 22
Prepare to be in a fabulously festive mood, as you let your hair down and enjoy the Yuletide celebrations to the max. But if you eat and drink and party too much on Christmas Day, then you’ll be a grumpy Crab for the rest of the week. And with Mars reversing through your money zone (until February 24) be careful at the Boxing Day/New Year Sales. Extravagant, impulse buys (especially on Saturday) could result in long regrets later on.
LIBRA
S EPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
Mighty Mars is moving backwards, so don’t worry if your carefully made plans are messed up this Christmas. Try to keep things in perspective. It’s OK if the food, presents, decorations and celebrations aren’t 100 per cent perfect. As birthday great Quentin Crisp wisely observed, “Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities, but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster.” Aim to enjoy the festive season with your favourite family members and/or close friends.
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
When it comes to last minute gift shopping, look for presents that are practical and useful. But if you spend more than you can comfortably afford this Xmas, then you’ll just end up with a heap of New Year debt. You don’t have to go overboard in order to have a good time. And avoid getting too serious and stressed. It’s time for clever Capricorns to bliss out on Yuletide cheer! A calm and methodical approach is the best way to handle festive celebrations.
THE PERFECT BASE FOR
When I was younger, I used to dream about staying in a hotel in the city. It was a romanticised version of what I wanted my life to be like when I grew into a mysterious ‘adult’. I dreamed of having drinks at a moody hotel bar, shopping for anything I wanted and wandering through the city streets. I got the chance to bring this dream to life when I stayed at the Hotel Woolstore 1888 in Pyrmont.
Hotel Woolstore 1888 is nestled one street away from Darling Harbour and is the perfect eclectic mix of vintage and modern styling, which comes together to create the exact moody hotel experience I used to dream of.
From the second I walked in, I was stunned by the character and charm. From the strong wood décor inside to the wedge shape of the building, it all comes together to create an unmatched hotel experience.
First opened in January 1888 as a wool store, the building was one of the earliest Victorian warehouses and the oldest wool store with a saw-tooth roof. It was designed by Morell and Kemp for pioneer JH Geddes, who introduced mechanical shearing equipment, it truly is a historic gem.
“FROM THE SECOND I WALKED IN, I WAS STUNNED BY THE CHARACTER AND THE CHARM”
The hotel room I stayed in was a spacious room, which really exceeded my expectations. Often, I have found that for the high price point of hotels the rooms are small and only have the basics, Hotel Woolstore 1888 was different. The bathroom held a large tub that was designed for relaxation, along with a massive shower. My only issue with the bathroom was that the toilet was extremely low to the floor, so much so that my guest and I
both questioned the design. In addition to the bed in the hotel room there was a lounge area, which made it more homely. It gives guests the chance to relax in their room without feeling cooped up. Overall, the room was amazing.
Within Hotel Woolstore 1888 is their authentic Spanish tapas restaurant, Percy. The moody ambience of candle lighting perfectly illuminated the room and was the setting of my ideal dining experience. I chose a selection of four different tapas dishes alongside a cocktail. While the service was quick and expert, I was able to slowly enjoy my meal and really taste all the unique flavours of the Spanish cuisine. My favourites were the Jamon Serrano Reserva and the Pan Con Tomate.
The staff were extremely knowledgeable about their selection of natural Spanish wines and were able to recommend the perfect blend that went delightfully with my chosen tapas. After I had my fill of tapas and wine, I
A SYDNEY WEEKEND GETAWAY
chose to finish off the night with dessert, a sweet lemon sorbet, which was divine. It was the perfect end to the night. I highly recommend Percy whether you are staying at Hotel Woolstore 1888 or not.
The next day I wanted to fulfill another part of my childhood dream, going shopping. Just a couple of hundred metres away from the hotel is the city’s Light Rail system, which I used to get me around the city all day. What made my shopping experience better was knowing I had an easy way to get back to where I was staying. It meant I could go and drop off my things before heading back out again. The hotel’s location is an amazing drawcard. Later that afternoon, my guest and I went for a walk along the harbour. There is really no lack of places to stop and have a drink, which
is what we did. We just sat and people watched while we waited for our dinner reservation. Later that evening we dined at Pyrmont’s hottest new Asian restaurant, Dan Dan.
“ALL
OF THESE DISHES WERE FILLED WITH AUTHENTIC ASIAN FLAVOURS AND LEFT MY MOUTH WATERING”
Dan Dan was created by Bobby Volcevski and Andrew Duncan, who are two seasoned veterans of the culinary world and have a combined 40 years of experience in the industry. They drew on their vast experience working in top tier establishments around the globe and have designed a dining experience unlike any other.
Again, the ambience of the restaurant was a massive drawcard for me. It felt decadent and inviting and, in my opinion, is a must visit. I tried a range of their pan-Asian dishes, but my favourites were the grilled snapper in yellow curry sauce; sesame prawn toast; and the potato gems with salmon sashimi. All of these dishes were filled with authentic Asian flavours and left my mouth watering. Making the experience better was the wide range of cocktails, there were so many great
choices! To finish off the night, my guest and I shared a desert, which perfectly brought together a range of sweet Asian flavours. Visiting Dan Dan is something you have to add to your itinerary the next time you are in Sydney, you won’t regret it!
Make sure to visit Hotel Woolstore 1888 the next time you need a place to stay in the city or, if you are anything like me, just want to satisfy parts of your childhood dream.
