New Zealand folks;

i could post a tonne of breath taking photos from new zealand. or i could post the windows of this new zealand house.

another shot from some age-old photographs.

looking through old photos, i believe this is the ideal image and portrayal of woodford folk festival. she's so damn beautiful even after several days of sweating and not showering i miss her like hell.

I have returned from a little town 5hrs north of melbourne called wagga wagga.
My friend michael, (featured in all the below photos) owns a house and a farm in the little town.
A weekend full of;
- climbing through train tracks to sit beside a speeding train as it goes by
- 4 wheel drunk biking
- falling off those bikes
- liters of red wine
- petrol on fires
- flying little planes (!!!!!!!!!)

a kitchen experience. my roommate and i have discovered the incredible difference that a few plants in the kitchen make the the general atmosphere.
plants that not only look good but taste good too!

a mirrored melbourne city. as part of a uni assignment i created a copy of van she's 'so high' film clim, just instead of a tokyo high speed train i was on a general melbourne to brighton slow train. here's the original- and here's my melbourne version-

managed to get out of home and take a train trip to the beach today. i've been really slack with uni recently and i think i've made up for it with the footage i've accomplished today. maybe. hopefully.. in further news i recieved a package from poland containing a 1930's original dress and plenty of pack soups. why are packet soups so much better tasting there?

strolled to the queen victoria markets today for my sunday groceries.
usually i manage to spend under 40$ and purchase bags full of vegetables and fruit which last me for 2 weeks.. today i had something slightly different in mind.

my photography student roommate's 'to do' list.

the chandeliers at work.
working my butt off for travel plans next year.

Monday Breakfast, fairy bread & tea - Mum would be so proud.
Not really, but I'm an adult and i make my own choices now!
Ahaha, I'm feeling ill this morning with a clogged up throat so I though this would cheer me up. And it did!

I made myself a matcha latte today, they make them in some coffee shops and sometimes if i'm lucky i swing by and grab myself one.
But you know, they're so easy to make!
Some matcha powder (or green tea powder) as much sugar as desired and hot milk!
For anyone who enjoys green tea ice cream this is the perfect alternative for a cold winter warm up!

Five senses Friday;

Tasting:

huge market strawberries

Hearing:

Emancipator

Feeling:

the satisfaction of being home, clean, after a big night with nothing to do but listen to tunes and read books.

Smelling:

nag champa

Seeing:

a cold, cloudy melbourne afternoon beyond my window.


old photo from the 12 apostles

thought i'd mix it up a little and update my current reads.
both by the same author, granted, but both intense and stimulating reads.
i have not yet managed to get through atlas shrugged due to its biblical proportions (literally) but i'm half way there and so far so good!
