Astrid’s ebay loot
Well, we have been so excited all day. The Svan bouncer has arrived from the states – 5 weeks after we bought it off ebay and with an absolute treasure chest of free presents for it being late!!! We got heaps of amazing little Haba toys, a sleepsack and a cute pink sheet with little…

It’s fun having fun!!
Gosh. What a week of blur. Astrid had her first virus – caught, of course, from the hospital. Yes, the respiratory ward. She’s shaken it off very quickly clever girl. We went to Salvage in Mt Eden the other day and picked up a bargain piece of barkcloth (now a tablecloth) for only $15. I…

Gypsea delicious
Hmm. I believe I do not know how to spell gypsy. Ah gypsy. Not gypsea. Tonight we took Astrid out to the Gypsy Tea Rooms and got rather merrily happy on rosé – suitably called ‘wooing tree’. Polly was certainly wooing after two glasses. Or did we have three? Astrid had a lovely time all…

Rain: favourite weather
Today is my favourite weather. It’s rainy outside. My other types of favourite weather are: Cold and still with a blue sky and frost on a Winter morning Heavy heavy rain after it’s been hot and humid Crisp Autumn mornings with rich yellow light Evening sun on the beach just when the sand has cooled…

March 5th not 1973
34 today. These shoes, well, I should have known better. Bought: Cologne, around 1996. They’re made by Casadei. And at the time were on the back cover of Vogue Pelle. I’ve worn them twice. Once to seduce Kevin and the second time today. I am not wearing them now.

Sunday sketch day / Cheltenham
Got up at 9:30 today. Was so tired – no idea why. I was going to shoot blue slippers today, but I ran out of time because we needed to go to Ponsonby to get my birthday present. We went to il forno afterwards for chai latte and croissant – the only bakery in Auckland…

Babies and coffee / dare digital
This morning we’re off to babies and coffee with the remaining few of us from ante natal classes who have kept in touch. So for the occasion I am donning my, sorry to say, relatively new, Converse. Purchased in Carnaby Street when I was working at dare, so around January 2006. Gosh that’s only just…

Faeries / fashion
It was a slight bugger my two best photos of the day are vertical. This one is of Astrid’s pohutukawa faerie – a lovely gift from Sandii and Jared and Mercedes. It’s very lovely indeed. And in the shower I was thinking about my daily photography ritual and concluded I may photograph my shoes, each…

Miu Mius from Bath
Today I have chosen my miu miu heels. Bought in Bath when Ben Seymour and I spent a mad weekend there one Winter. We went there in, 2002(?) I would say, or was it 2001? These are probably my favouritest heels. Their heels are high, the leather cracked and distressed. On purpose. Some people don’t…

March 1st
Well hooray. I have been inspired to start getting up early again. Astrid has only woken up once in the night the past 2 days so I actually feel able to get up at 7:30 again. It’s very exciting – I love the mornings – 6:30 is better as it’s so still, peaceful and clean,…
