Awesomesauce!

Haven’t done this for a while, but there’s a lot of awesomesauce around the place lately. Gets quite sticky underfoot.

Awesomesauce #1 – Florence and the Machine. Ballsy voice and utterly gorgeous videos, especially this one: http://tiny.cc/ROZT6. Makes me want to grow my hair long and dye it BRIGHT red again.

Awesomesauce #2 – Birthdays! I’m living in a big pink happy birthday bubble at the moment, after a trip to Chch to see ma belle famille and lots of lovely birthday messages from friends. Took lots of photos with shiny new camera, and will post these later. And there’s STILL more celebrating to come, starting with dinner at Logan Brown tonight! NOM.

Awesomesauce #3 – speaking of which, here’s to the wonderful people in my life! It’s times like these that I feel so lucky to be surrounded by people who care about me and willingly put up with my eccentricities. People who hang out with me despite all my strange whims, I salute thee!

Awesomesauce #4 – Looooooong weekend. Perfect timing. I want SUN! And I want SHOPPING! And I want ROAD TRIP! Oh and also I want SLEEP!

Awesomesauce #5 – People under 2 years of age. They just have the best time ever. Every single day. Every hour in fact. The toddler is a bundle of energy and curiosity and creates her own fun wherever she goes. I also love that she regards me as a captive audience to play up to and misbehave in front of just to see what my reaction will be. It makes me feel like the guest of honour whenever we hang out.

Awesomesauce #6 - Donuts. Okay, I know I go on about them all the time, but it's the fact that I can't get them in Wgtn that makes me obsess about them. And so when I do get a chance to have good donuts it makes it all the more exciting! And I had gooood donuts in Chch. They're still making me happy.

Awesomesauce #7 – La belle printemps! Alright, so the weather is so changeable at the moment that it could be diagnosed with schizophrenia, but when the sun comes out all is forgiven. Chch was positively marinating in spring complete with a surfeit of flowers, lambs, ducklings and blossom. Even the odd cygnet. Spring is rad and if I had my way we’d be having some kind of national holiday where we all have to take a day off work to go roll around in a field full of daisies to celebrate it. Which is why you should vote Katherine!
