Oh Darling 365

Sunday: Sun on the Waterfront
Sunday
The sun was out and I was a lady of leisure. So I took my book (read: kindle (read: kindle app on iPhone)) and headed to the waterfront to read and people-watch.

Monday: Breaking Dawn
Monday
An amazing dawn - the light was perfect.

Tuesday: cherry coke from a coworker
Tuesday
Whenever one of my coworkers sees Cherry Coke, she always buys me a can. I like this pavlovian response.

Wednesday: it's a hard life having this as your walk home
Wednesday
The view on the way home isn't too bad either.

Thursday: Meadowlark's Arrowhead launch decorations
Thursday
I went to the launch of Meadowlark's Arrowhead jewellery range. I bought a gorgeous ring that Craig will be giving me for Christmas then smashed a glass and left in shame. It was a night of extremes.

Friday: another hazy dawn
Friday
One day soon I will tire of waterfront photos. I hope.

Saturday: Silly poster, you are not a camera, you are a poster.
Saturday
Silly poster, you are not a camera, you are a poster.

Difficult day. But the reflection was lovely.

Thursday: teeny tiny touch up

My tattoo artist gave my tattoo a teeny tiny touch up. It was just a smidge patchy. It's perfect now.

Friday
There was ... something? about the date? I can't remember. Something.

Saturday: wondapartment tableau
Saturday
Bunnyhead people and tattoo book. This is how I choose to decorate.

A busy day, a late night, and a terrible photo.

I very much enjoy the sun on the water. I take far too many photos.

Wanderlust

November 2009 - Japan

In the early mornings, if the weather isn't perfect and I have to skip the waterfront, I walk past two hotels and a backpackers.
Sleepy tourists, bulging bags, hotel breakfasts.
I miss travelling.

Inglorious Basterds - Japanese Poster

Dentist sign?

Monday
The next morning the Fanzone was already being deconstructed.

A very cheerful mural near the Wondapartment. I do not think it constitutes graffiti.

Tuesday: Brad Thorn and the Web Ellis
Wednesday
I saw the All Blacks victory parade & Brad Thorn raising the Web Ellis cup.

I look out for this little guy every time I walk to work the Wakefield Street way.

My first ever blood test. Yes, first ever. I have always been remarkably healthy. Even this one was just routine.

Sunday: Graffiti
Sunday
Graffiti near the wondapartment. Craig & I were headed to the supermarket for dinner. We ended up buying pizza.
Terrible plan.

Monday: Sunlight breaking through
Monday
Sunlight fingers through the clouds on the walk to work.

Tuesday: Eastbourne Women's Club
Tuesday
The decor in the Eastbourne Women's Club cracks me up.

Wednesday: KeepCup called Kat
Wednesday
My keep cup arrived. I call it Kat.
(it's because of the turquoise)

Thursday: on the way to Eastbourne. Again
Thursday
Headed out to Eastbourne for the last time for a long while.

Friday: Poster for John Waters. SO EXCITED
Friday
A strange strange day. But! There are posters everywhere for John Waters' one-man show. I'm so excited.

Saturday: Devil's Tongue disappointment
Saturday
Craig and I went out to see the Devil's Tongue flower. It smells like rotting meat and only flowers once every seven years. I've wanted to see one for years now.
I was mildly disappointed. We may have just caught it when the smell was waning (it comes in waves) but it didn't really smell like anything, save perhaps compost. But I am glad I saw it.
