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

Earlier in the year, my family and I visited a strawberry farm in Bacchus Marsh. My sister and I love visiting fruit farms and being able to pick our own fruit! The strawberries were much sweeter and tastier than the bland ones usually found in supermarkets. I was delighted to buy some apples too. They had no wax on which is basically unheard of these days. Next we visited a beautiful, old church. I love how the arches are reminiscent of Noah's Ark. Even the door is purposely designed and ornate. We ended the day with some waffles I made from scratch and ate many more strawberries. Title : Dear Boy by Paul & Linda McCartney.

For who knows when we'll meet again this way

The end of our Eden holiday concluded with some time at the beach and a yummy BBQ - vegetables, sausages, onions and salmon.  It's always hard to say goodbye to the beautiful ocean, so I savored the last moments looking out at the water and thinking of all the things I'm grateful for. For the long drive home back to Melbourne, I wore my comfortable Mexican, embroidered dress. A few years ago, I found quite a few Mexican dresses, but haven't come across one in a very long time. I'd love one in red, wouldn't that look fantastic? On the drive, I visited this church that was hosting an art fair and admired this green home! Since returning home, I've done a lot of cooking. Here is a plate of my homemade sausage rolls and long green beans with nuts. I've also gone for some nice walks, sometimes picking flowers along the way. What have you been up to lately?

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family and grandparents, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for probably over 1...
