supine

Posted on May 19, 2013 | Leave a comment

languid hours in sun,
embedded in the autumn grass;
premature winter winds gently nudge while the last remnants of the summer sun haze around the edges like yesterday’s hangover

autumn in Sydney is a delightful season;
clear skies, calm harbour
friends & family milking the last of the weekend sun with
picnics and footy in the park

this weekend we entertained friends at home,
grounded ourselves in the park,
enjoyed wine & food at a local festival

it’s grand,
this life of ours,
this love of ours

Jay & Melly 2005

circa 2005 at a friend’s party;
balmy night, corona’s with lime, seared & smoky bbq, blonde hair, Otis Redding on the stereo, strawberry pavlova, games of boggle, home-made icy poles, cradling babies, hide & seek, hyper puppies, lots of laughter. good times.

ain’t memories & love grand

music monday | chet faker

If you read my post yesterday you’d have seen I’ve been blasting Chet Faker on my iPod constantly… I’ve been listening to him since mid-last year when his debut album Thinking in Textures launched but then moved on to other new stuff, recently got a craving for his tunes and have reignited my obsession with this Melbourne future-beat/soul-electronica artist…so I thought I’d share with you because I know you need something awesome to kickoff your working week!

This is my favourite track.
Enjoy!

You wouldn’t know it’s approaching winter here in Sydney. There hasn’t been a cloud in the sky for days and today the top temp was 30°C (86°F)!
Gorgeous weather people, which is making me very happy indeed!

Here’s what I got up to in the past week…
