Spontaneity

Had a lovely spontaneous night last night; worked my last shift, finished at 7 and turned on my phone to about 40 messages telling me I was being picked up from home at 8, and that we were going out. Which was lovely, as I've been getting really sick of being such a granny lately. The girls and I hardly ever go out anymore. So it was a cold and relatively uneventful night - just the way I like it! Unfortunately, B and I got home at 5am, after catching the freezing cold 3.45 bus, which put a slight dampener on the evening.

Listening to Bon Iver's cover of 'Come Talk To Me', which, although I've never heard the original, is probably better than Peter Gabriel's version.

tamping

Contrary to my last post, I had also applied at a local coffee shop, and had my trial and interview today! Learnt how to tamp (the coffee), and have been called in next Tuesday, to get a shirt and I have to bring bank details. Does that mean I have the job..?

I've applied for a job at my local bookshop!

Yep, it's still raining..

the blossoms are finally coming out on the plum trees!

It's still raining, as it has been for the last 3 hours (at least). The puppy's chewing everything he can get his teeth into, including my bare feet, as I couldn't find any socks this morning. I've run out of make-up as well, the only one that I've ever managed to find to suit my skin tone! So I must remember to buy some more tomorrow.

I'm listening to my 'european chillout' playlist. Yes I know, it's a bit embarrassing but whatever, it's the perfect music to listen to when the rain hasn't let up outside for more than 3 hours, and there's nothing to do. On that note however, my brother has to be picked up from school in about 15 minutes, so I'm going to have to make a dash through the flood that is our garden, the river that is our driveway, and into my car, which I'm pretty sure won't start it'll be so waterlogged! Anyway, enough of the negativity.

I might continue into the barony of shoppingdom to see if I can find Father Bear a present for Sunday, which is Father's Day. He asked for a scarf, as he lost the amazing blue one Mum and I got him in Laos. Pity. I'll see what I can do.

Well, the river that is my garden calls, so I best answer. Bisous xx

puuuuuuup!

I'm sitting at the dining room table, drinking luke-warm coffee and downloading music. The sky is bright blue outside; it looks like spring is coming, finally. Meanwhile, it's been ages since I've written! I was woken up this morning by the puppy biting my face.

It's one of my best friends' birthday this weekend coming, and I've bought an amazing pair of pants to wear with my new suede ankle boot-wedges! Meanwhile, I think I need a new blazer and top to go along with my outfit planned. All my girlfriends are planning on wearing dresses to go out, but I thought it was time for a change, so I'm wearing baggy high-waisted pants instead!

I want my hair to look like this:



So I'll be practising my fishtail plaits!

Meanwhile, there's a huge storm going on outside my house, and the fire needs more wood on it. But the wood's down at the driveway. And it's pelting down with rain, and is practically pitch-black outside.. But it's getting freezing! Looks like I'm venturing outside :(

mmmmmmmmm

Aha! Possibly the best day of my life. Slight exaggeration? Probably. I got my credit card today. Yes, I know, what a terrible idea. And it truly is. But recently, I've found myself not spending so much useless money on useless things. Essentials yes, but not clothes I don't need, or anything else. Actually I only buy clothes. Still.

Anyway, tonight will be filled with laughs and and the general frisson of excitement us girls get when we spend time together, as it doesn't happen as often as we'd like it to.

Back to the spending useless money, I desperately need a new pair of heels. I'm ashamed to admit, I only own a couple of pairs of heels that I actually wear. Actually that's not even that bad, but still, I'd love to own an amazing pair - like these insane ones from Acne I spotted in a store on Unley Road. Yeah I know they'll probably be about $4000 but whatever.

On that note, I'm off to get ready. Bisous

new start?

Well well well! A new start is what I need (probably). Deciding what I want to do with my life (although not yet in process), has begun whirling around inside my brain - and let me tell you! The result is definately not pretty. Actually, a lot of what is inside my brain is the result of years (ok, maybe not years) of coffee and jumbled thoughts and emotions. So, obviously quite ordered. Anyway, the point of my deciding was, that I really need to get off my bum and get moving! As there's no time to waste! Well, there's probably a lot of time to waste, but as I seem to have wasted a lot of it already (in the last 4 months or so), I think I've probably used up my quota of time-waste-abilty for this year at least.

So, in my extensive thinking about the subject, I have come across the idea of being a (street-style) photographer. Obviously doesn't seem like a particularly well-paid or sought-after profession, but as I love photography, I could at the very least be one in my spare time? Aha! What's the point I hear you asking. Well, there probably isn't one - but at least a girl can dream, right?

So, be prepared for the onslaught of photographs of everything from my hands to the food I've eaten, to the coffee I'm drinking. I obviously haven't worked my way up to asking people to pose for me yet. And also, one of the most obvious reasons, the city I live in is (almost) completely devoid of style. Now, the quest to find the perfect camera, city, and life! Off I go. Reporting back asap.

i'll lift you up

I haven't left the house for three days. And by left the house, I mean I actually haven't stepped outside. Which is a horrible occurance really, as I usually do. Leave the house. My life has taken on a monotony that I never hoped for. Actually that's a bit of an exaggeration. I am sick, so it's inevitable really, that I should be staying indoors to get better. I have, however, watched 3 episodes of Doctor Who (back to back), St Trinian's, and am now about to watch Sherlock Holmes. What a life.
