Lady loves…

* Crisp, sunny Canberra mornings… that stay that way all day. Unlike the Melbourne ones. 

* Returning home from my month in Canberra to find a welcome home note and a pile of lollies on my bed from Roomy Smaggle. Bless face. 

* Naturally Sadie. I’m seriously addicted. I actually shushed Mr Smaggle during this show. I never shush people for T.V.

* My delightful weekend plans including high tea, several parties and lots of hand holding with the mister. 

* Cute Melbourne girls and their scarves and boots. And being all gorgeous on bikes. They are truly unique down here. 

* My apartment and all the jolly visitors we receive. 

* Being ALMOST certain that I have my shit together. 

* Being featured in my first classroom note at a school that I taught at. I didn’t quite see it before the kid ripped it up but I THINK it was a picture of me being done from behind. Golden. 

* That this year is half over… and also that there is still another half to go. 

 

Lady loathes…

* Winter. Can. Not. Feel. My. Fingers. I’m also fairly certain that I lost the tip of my nose to hypothermia this afternoon watching a film shoot in a canal. Why shoot a film in a canal? Why?

* Bad TV reception. 

* The stupid kid that I was sharing a lane with at the pool yesterday. Absolutely no concept of the ‘circle’ motion of swimming. He just swam where ever the hell he liked, most often making a Jaws like beeline for me and then giving me underwater greasies for getting in his way. Dude. Sense the correct flow of movement here and adapt. 

* My internet. It’s like a petulant teenager, only working how and when it pleases. 

* Calories in wine. I just think it’s cruel. 

What about you chicken? What’s ticklin’ your pickle this week?

Love Lady Smaggle

    Oh my goodness! I love that the note had a sexual picture of you. What a little confident boost.

    I am loving school holidays with four children. I am also loathing not ever having any peace and quiet. My brain aches! x

    ^^ Placebo played at a venue I work at the other day! Apparently Skunk Anansie’s reformed. All excellent news.
