This is pretty cool. I got the idea from Pip.
Lots of babies, blue skies, New Zealand and Japan. HEAPS of food, family, plants… and my big fat pregnant belly. That sounds about right.

directly inspired by Pink of Perfection (my new favourite blog by the way), I’ve decided to come up with a list of things to love about summer, while it’s still around. i know i’m not the only one getting sick of the humidity, the stickiness, the bugs. but it won’t be long til autumn and i figure i may as well enjoy the nice bits of summer while i can. so here’s a list. i only came up with 33, so if you have any suggestions of your own, let me know!
50 reasons to love summer:
1. pineapple
2. swimming in the ocean
3. smoothies for breakfast (yes you can still have these in winter but they’re not as good!)
4. Fresh berries
5. walking home in the sunshine after work
6. soothing summer rain at bedtime
7. wearing shorts + tank tops
8. abundant gardens
9. outdoor cinemas
10. rooftop bars
11. iced tea
12. cool showers and baths
13. the scent of frangipanis in the air
14. wearing a bikini instead of bra
15. the sweet relief of southerly busters
16. the feeling of sunshine on your skin
17. Monteith’s crisp apple cider
18. citrus in your beer
19. watermelon and feta salad
20. no risk of vitamin D deficiency!
21. copious amounts of fresh basil
22. alfresco dining
23. balmy, cardigan-less evenings
24. exhilarating electrical storms
25. cute sundresses
26. fish and chips at Watson’s Bay
27. those blue, blue Sydney skies
28. fruit shakes
29. barbeques
30. Frosty Fruits
31. the holy trinity of sand/sunscreen/surf
32. seeing kids playing in the sprinkler (er, when water restrictions are not in place of course!)
33. ..?

+ love letters.
+ my new iMac which should arrive by the end of April! I am so excited about this. Not only does it mean no more ruining my posture by hunching over a laptop whilst sitting on the couch, but it also means I will finally be moving on from OSX 3.11 and 2GB of RAM. Also, me and Ben Folds can hang out and make some music!

+ World Sweet World magazine – I picked this up from a lovely needlework bookshop in Wellington. Their blog is here.
+ I may have posted about this tote bag blog before. But it’s so cute.
+ I am pretty much in love. A whole NY Times section on pickles!!
it includes such gems as Nigella waxing lyrical about chutney, and an article on the the revelation that is Kool-Aid pickles. I might attempt the pumpkin chutney this weekend.
+ Blurb books. I love Charlotte’s family annuals, and I am so inspired!
I’ve made photo books before (we did a wedding one for Tim’s mum and dad) but I love the idea of having a collection of my favourite photos, just of the little things, all in one nicely printed and bound book. Now to decide between Apple books and Blurb books (and any other photobook companies).
