life, lately.

True to form, I've been forever in posting again. Following an incident involving a stupid girl, a flying bottle of vodka and a defenceless computer, Tom & I have been sharing my computer for months. He's been crazy busy with job applications lately and working on a paper he's getting published (I'm so proud of him) so I've been more ... analogue ... in recent weeks. Spring is bringing a lot of beautiful weather and flowers and things to look forward to, so I'm not really feeling the loss.

We went to the Gilles Street Markets on Sunday. We browsed a little, but mostly we just enjoyed people watching as we ate delicious food and basked in the sunshine.

 

 

I've been thoroughly obsessed with our garden's offerings. Not nearly as obsessed as our crazy neighbour, though, who has taken to conducting a daily count of the many hundreds of self-seeding poppies that have taken over our front yard. (She treats the garden as her own whether we like it or not) The other day she spent two hours with a notebook documenting the nature of the different interbreeding varieties. I'm having a go at pressing some flowers and leaves, which I vaguely remember doing as a child. It will either look drab and old fashioned or, I hope, more like a mix between art and a botanical study. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

What has been keeping you busy lately?
