three more 'thank-you's

1. Mum bought some trees today. She went to a tree-farm and just picked up five little trees to put in our yard. How cool is that?? They're the kind that turn stunning red-orange-gold in autumn, so I can't wait until may to start snapping photos!

2. I post on the perthbands forum, and today someone did a spot of character profiling for the regulars. I was described as a 'fifties noir-ish dame, kind of elegant but with a stare that could cut you down in a second. Not afraid to stick it to the man!' Now, I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I love it nonetheless :) I do so adore the fifties.

3. My friend Blake introduced me to a band called the Appleseed Cast. They write these beautiful melodic winding songs, that go on for over eight minutes but you don't get bored listening to them. I find myself getting lost deep in my own head when I play the album 'sagarmatha.'

Thank you!

So my blog has been featured on a blog awards site :) This just made my day!

Cody!

My beautiful fifi died July 21st, 2009. We bought a border collie puppy a few months later, called her Cody, and loved her like nothing on earth. She's the sweetest thing in our house :) I miss my poodle, but am seriously loving having a little bundle of joy (... and destruction) racing around our house.

a few more things

Today wasn't what I would call excellent, but there was plenty to say thankyou for anyhow.

1. The billboard I saw today, selling a service by Leslie Lively. That name makes me smile.

2. The latte I drank that smelled and tasted like a gingerbread man. Ohmigod, it was amazing.

3. The student nurse who smiled at me when I rolled my eyes at the diabetes educators. You made me feel like I wasn't being stupid, that yes, they were doing something legitimately mockable. Thank you. Also, not seeing Patsy at my appointment :) (Y)

4. The condom wrapper I found at the Point this morning. It made me strangely happy to know that some happy, adventurous couple did it down there :P

5. Finding my Mellow mix CD! Ah, relief :) Also, rearranging my other CDs again, clearing them out, it's all good feng shui I think.
