Eating – Sweetcorn! Deliciously luscious kernels of golden delight, smothered in butter (not margarine, oh no no no) and encrusted in salt. Eat using the carriage return method and do not wear your fancy clothes.
Sweetcorn=summer.
Watching – Glee. It’s about the only show I look forward to watching at the moment and it was the last episode on Friday! This means (because Mad Men has finished too) I haven’t got a single thing to watch on the telly not counting Sex and the City reruns on The Comedy Channel).
Saying that I watched 30 Rock for the very first time today and thought, mmmm, I could get into this…
Anyhoo….Glee. Love the fantastic singing and tangled teenaged romances but most of all, I love Sue Sylvester.
Listening – Midnight Youth’s “Golden Love” – sweet, melancholy, delightfully romantic.
Reading – Vanity Fair. For some reason, possibly due to being disappointed in most of the books I’ve read lately I’ve started reading a lot more magazines instead and I think I’ve read my way through Whangarei Library’s entire back catalogue of this particular one. While the glamourous adverts for diamonds and Burberry and Chanel and the fabulous photoshoots with the Rich and Famous are all very nice eye candy, it’s the quality journalism in the back that’s got me hooked.
Liking – our new swimming pool, fresh tomatoes from my garden, walking in my lunchbreak with a (now) decent playlist on my iPod, lunch at The Teahouse at Palmers Garden Centre and Clarins Eau Ensoleillante Sunshine Fragrance – smells like it says on the label.
Look into my eyes look into my eyes look into my eyes….

Q&A: Fi

The wonderful and extremely thoughtful Antipo sent me this lovely link from The Guardian the other day: the delicious Viggo Mortensen posting answers to the questions on Q&A.
I do so appreciate it when Antipo spots anything Viggo-ish she instantly thinks, ooh, Fi!
And, at a small loss as to what to post today, and wanting to post something, I had a crack at the questions myself.
When were you happiest?
When they placed our newborn baby daughter on my arms for the first time. Even though she had a red, screwed up, slightly boiled monkey face from being given such a hard time over the previous 27 hours, I thought she was the most fantastic thing that had ever happened to me.
What is your greatest fear?
Without a doubt, losing somebody to cancer. It’s just so pervasive…I feel like it’s hovering in the wings waiting to claim somebody I love.

Far out brussels sprout! Talk about a drenching! It started raining early Monday morning and didn’t stop for 24 hours. Rain rain rain rain horizontal RAIN.
Tanks filled up, gardens were drenched, paddocks were saturated and a certain pool got a nice big topping up, almost to the very rim.
Just what we needed here in Northland.
Why yes, I do plan on eating all your tomatoes, actually
