And I Think Of All The Things



I can't believe I last posted on Monday, it feels like weeks! I wrote about finding this Australian-made striped jacket and promptly wore it.



So what have I been up to this week?

I've been ...

- Crocheting - it's so relaxing and I like feeling creative when I produce something.


- Watching an Amy Winehouse concert at the Shepherd's Bush Empire. It was her 7 year anniversary since her passing this week.

- Listening to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy for the first time.




- Reading Marianne Faithfull's book Memories, Dreams and Reflections. I enjoyed her autobiography better, I seem to be stuck in the middle of this book and I'm finding it hard to get through it.

I wrote about wanting to watch some Bette Davis movies after watching Feud: Bette and Joan, and I've since watched Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (such a nerve-racking thriller) and The Bride Came C.O.D

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

The Bride Came C.O.D 

- Looking forward to seeing the Blood Moon tomorrow morning. I'm also eager to enjoy some sunshine on Saturday and hopefully go for a good ol' bike ride.

    Ahh that reminds me, I have a crocheting project that I really need to finish working on! I am hoping to see the moon as well, but it is supposed to be a bit rainy so I might not be able to. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

      Thank you! Crotcheting is great, isn't it! I missed the moon, I can't believe it, I think it was hidden
      behind clouds. Xxx

    That jacket looks fab! No moon here, far too cloudy sadly.
    I loved Amy, we saw her play live three times. xxx

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!

I go leaps and bounds

A few weeks ago, my mum, dad and I spent the day in Geelong, catching up with some family and friends. Julie, Andy and their children were down from Queensland for the weekend to watch their son Joel play football, so it was a perfect chance to catch up.  It was nice watching the game, chatting and laughing non-stop. This bunch are always cracking jokes and I delighted in our giggles. Being outside all day, I rugged up in my new fluffy coat, my Christmas present from mum this year. I squeezed in a sneaky wear of it before I wrapped it up in Christmas paper.  My mum has a maroon Afghan coat and a tan one, which I sometimes borrow. You may recall them from my blog posts here and here . Now I have one of my own, thank you mum! I practically pounced on it, when I saw it on sale. I've been secondhand shopping for so long, I forgot that retail stores have end of season sales! The coat kept me toasty all day, even into the night as we headed to a pub hotel for a final gathering and chat.
