Geese like rain

Tissu in B&W

These are some pictures from an aerial tissu shoot that myself and a couple of friends did on the rig at my house.

I think this is one of those things where practice makes perfect, even with the basics, its harder to come up with poses than you might think...

My Favourite Place In The World

One of the most beautiful places in the world to me.
The location I grew up and spent every summer swimming, fishing and running around like a crazy person.
Beautiful sunny days. Storms and torrents of rain and wind. Whatever the weather I would swim. Nowadays... Not so much.

Apricots are better than Apples...

Unfortunately I cannot claim ownership of this picture, it was actually taken by my future sister in law. But I really like it!

Which brings me to the topic of what I have been doing this weekend.

My poor dear computer, (below with its lovely stickers) Has been very slow and noisy lately (read: several months) so I decided it needed a complete over hall. Meaning, back up everything and delete entire hard drive. I was so scared to do it because my whole life is saved on my dear computer. but in the end it worked out well, and I am pretty much all updated and free of all the crap which has been lagging it for so long. Yay for me for figuring out how to do it all by myself!In other news... Work road trip last week resulted in this mysterious foggy picture taken at something ridiculous like 6:30am in the morning! And a beautiful shed is in the finishing stages of construction! Doors to be added and painting to be finished. Then... dum dum dum dum, on to the house!!!

Deligma

I went and dropped in on an old friend at the pub he was playing in tonight. It is always such a lovely occasion to see old friend who you haven't seen in forever (read: 2 years). We had a fantastic conversation about what was happening in both of our lives, and I feel like he could be earnest with me and I with him without any fear of repercussions. Friendships can be like that.

After I had a chat with J and told him about catching up with D and J raised the point that (though he is never jealous) I often get jealous of him talking to other girls. This is so true and I feel terribly about it! Mostly about the hypocrisy of the situation. I try to explain to him that in my mind it makes perfect sense, because I would never dream of cheating on him, and therefore me talking with other boys is a non issue. But as I cannot read his mind I don't know if he would find someone more attractive than me and want to leave me for them!

I am a jealous type! I admit it and I actually think its ok.

Anyways this is just a situation where I guess you have to try and see both sides of the fence.

In other news, I have to stop being so slack and I should be keeping an eye on what else is happening around me.

My thoughts go out to NZ at this time. What is with all of the natural disasters befalling the face of the earth lately? Is it disaster season and no one was given any warning?

MONA

Museum of Old and New Art.

Was certainly an interesting visit. I had only an hour to stop off and see what it was all about, but it really was an experience. Cant wait to visit once again.

I was really taken by some of the pieces and the architecture of the building was amazing. not to mention the thought and detail which was applied to the whole thing. Down the the information they included on the iPods which you receive on entry to guide you through and give you inside information on the artworks on display.

I suggest any one with some time to kill in Hobart, head there. Take the ferry from the warf, don't drive and park unless its absolutely necessary!!!

January...

Back to work and right into it!!! My first road trip of the year and I n e e d e d my c o f f e e!! The problem though with having coffee in a giant mug, is that when you need to drive 2 1/2 hrs to get to the first meeting, and you leave home late (stupid) when you then need to stop and pee you are angry and stressed. Yup silly me, next time I will factor in a rest break... maybe
This beautiful tree on our block looks magical when the sun shines through the leaves. I adore sitting in our old faded outdoor chairs and looking up into the canopy of this tree.
This tree I dislike immensely most of the year, due to the fact it is very spiky! But when it is in flower the butterflies flock to these trees and they are so calming to watch flitting about from flower to flower. Butterflies are terribly lovely.
This my dears is what it looks like when you have just poured nearly 10 cubic metres of concrete to create a slab! Yay for us the first step in the building process is well underway! This weekend we have started to create the wall structure. Well J has, I supervise mostly... Or swing in the tissu's.

Cement/Concrete

This is what I took part in on Saturday. For those of you who do not recognise this business, this is what is otherwise known as 'Pouring a Slab'.

This is in fact the slab for our very own shed, as we do not need a slab for the house. I am glad this task is out of the way, now comes the fun work of actually building said shed...

I have found I am much better as a general staying out of the way supervisor rather then a helper... Though I did hold a shovel for a time and endeavour to assist. I am so grateful that some of my family came to aid us in our time of need. Otherwise it may have taken several hours more!

Hi-Yah

Wow massive hiatus. not that it matters particularly. This is no life or death blog. Work has been keeping me busy as i work in tourism, so when summer comes so do the tourists. Being that not only are there more tourists anyway, but our particular attraction is most attractive also helps.

Anyway, so I have been doing a bit of online shopping lately. Victorias Secret and Decormyeyes. I got these beautiful Burberry sunnies off Decormyeyes after my sister got some Bvlgari ones which turned out to be such a great buy.

I get a little VS crazy every now and then. Usually whenever they send me a catalog... Anyhoodle, I ended up getting some work pants, t-shirts, bras, undies and beauty stuff. Cant wait for it all to arrive. I am always so impressed with the quality of their stuff. Actually do you know what. I may have blogged about this previously. Have I?

Ok well off to search online for some bridesmaid shoes for a wedding I will be in soon. Wish me luck and if you can recommend a place to find off white slightly strappy satin-y shoes then let me know!

Yesterday was another exciting day driving all over the state on visits. When driving it always makes me feel better when the weather is nice. The road is safer, people drive better and the view from the window is more encompassing. Though I do live in a place of very unpredictable and as such you will notice the clouds and rainbow in the first picture which is what the afternoon turned into.

Today I am sharing with you a couple of views from my day and you can pretend like you came for a drive with me.
