a special little lady

there was a little girl sitting on the pew just in front of us during mass.
i'm sure she tried her best, but she started getting restless
ten minutes into the homily.
so she reached into her diaper bag, and carefully took out her lot of 
neatly folded panties,
of assorted colours and designs
and lay them very neatly across the pew.
then she dug her paw into her bag again
and took out her very large thin diaper cloth, shook it out,
and laid it out beside the rest of her little undie drawer
for us to admire.

at the end of the homily,
her mama gathered the undies and diaper cloth
and packed them neatly back into her bag again.

i quite enjoyed mass

anyhow, got to run,
i've got a certain Mrs. Bennet to exonerate!

my mum and sis are ploughing and holidaying their way through the south of france at this very moment.

mum is hearting the place, but she's got a backache from lugging her luggage around (apparently she has no more space for shopping! snap!)

have i told you about my dearest cousin before? she paints her nails whenever she gets stressed up. Sometimes she sports two colours a week.

mine are a lovely robin's-egg-blue and a bright pink (alternating) at the moment. i might give them a makeover tonight and paint them so they reflect the night sky. stars and moon and flying stars

a cod-liver oil capsule and some kiwi fruits


I accidentally dropped a cod-liver oil capsule while popping my usual medley of morning pills and didn't notice until my helper pointed out the lone capsule lying amongst some hairy kiwi fruits half-an-hour later. I thought it was the funniest thing everrrrr

swan lake







-a few of my favourite shots that I took for my sister Grace's wedding in January this year, shot on my trusty gakkenflex on black and white slide film.




The Dehydrated Lemon

There's this huge cooking storm raging downstairs in the kitchen, cause we're celebrating mother's day -two weeks before the actual thing- because we're special that way!

actually it's because my mum and my sister are going traipsing round the globe come Tuesday -.- believe it or not i'm actually playing a part in the cooking rage! i've been put in charge of the garlic bread. which is TOTALLY not as easy as it sounds. i had to chop garlic and measure oregano and parsley and use the food processor and simmer the olive oil and everything. it's totally strenuous!

olympic gold medallist


Last night my sister shifted her bed around 30cm away from mine (we share a room) to cut down the chances of her contracting my lovely disease

but I've got a niggling feeling that my germies are pretty good at long-jump...

see those evil eyes? and the bun!
the evil bun!
and the cursed pocks.
i've contracted hand foot and mouth disease.

story of my life.
