Daily Outfit: Heading Home

I heard somewhere that leather and faux-fur are suitable materials for plane travel....

Daily Outfit: A Triptych

Perth adventures =

Massage in the morning,

Ice-skating after lunch,

and trying on bridesmaid dresses in the afternoon!

Daily Outfit: Indian Ocean

Last week I was in Perth, this week I'm back in Adelaide and back at school.

Lunch by the ocean.

Daily Outfit: Farewell to Frenchies

A week or so ago we said au revoir to the French musicians we'd been hosting over Easter. We had a little shindig at a chic bar and everybody enjoyed many toasts...

Only a few appreciated my frog purse.

Daily Outfit: Band Practice

Late band practice on Easter Saturday. Tired cat.




I'd better catch up with outfit posts, non?

Wednesday Wrap-up

Katy Perry in concert!

Oh hi, week that's been. Didn't see you there.


Flew back from Perth on Thursday and thoroughly depressed myself that evening watching La Rafle (The Round-Up) at the Nova. Seriously good but relentless.
Spent Friday looking after the manfriend: sleep-in, reading, crisp, autumn walk, homemade meals and a jigsaw puzzle. Cosy indeed.


Collected lots of lovely new reading material from the library. Not sure when I'll have time but the intent is there. I've already used a physics comic book with my classes - hurrah!

On Saturday I bumped into a friend I've not seen for a long time and we made plans to see a friend's gig that evening. It was great! Saw lots of familiar faces and actually got out and about, something I've been missing lately. Music and beers and taxi home with manfriend.

The always excellent Steering by Stars

Sunday was my art date with Ms Ruby Chew that I mentioned here. We admired Patricia Piccinini's new exhibition before warming our cockles with herbal tea. Lovely!

The Young Family (source unknown)

Back to school Monday. Tried to get work done so it didn't interrupt the Katy Perry concert that night! I had free tickets. It was fun. The backup dancers' costumes were so so bad. Waxed over the show the next day with some students. They loved it too.


Last thing on the schedule was a University awards night yesterday. Manfriend won a prize for English (and a healthy cheque!) so we celebrated with Exeter curry night. Tasty indeed.


And that, my friends, is the week that was. Can you understand my relative absence?


Other tidbits: finally getting stuck into Easter chocolate (I tell myself each year that I'll pick up the stuff on special after the event but never do), rereading Candide, being unimpressed by everything in my wardrobe and the concept of clothing in general, feeling cold, lovely voicemails, kind emails from parents, holiday plans, getting up far too early in the mornings. Some good, some not so.

Just a Minute in April

How did it get to May already?


Reading... some Fitzgerald, Showgirl memoirs, magazines and catching up on blogs! Woo!

Listening... to brass bands and concert bands at the National Band Champs

Wishing... I could remember April better I guess? That I had more holidays...

Watching... movies with the manfriend. Concerts (Dylan and ANZAC day)

Buying... air tickets. Holidays ahead!

Wanting... a bit more time with the people I care about.

Cooking... miam miam Moroccan curry.

Making... pizza. Dinner dates. Cuts to my wardrobe. Dislike everything....

Loving... cats. GRADUATION!


March.
The year's speeding up....

Daily Outfit: Very Good Friday

Good Friday calls for the Exeter Easter party. Sunshine and good times!



Of course, we had to dress up. Manfriend got quite the compliments in his paisley shirt.

Inspirational Ladies in Vogue

I was discussing this piece from the March '11 copy of Vogue Australia with my divine friend Ms Ruby Chew on our art date today. Amongst the grey drizzle we contemplated creativity, and I remembered seeing Anna Piaggi at Paris Fashion Week (in the distance, to be sure).



I'm hoping these ladies might assist me with my current clothing crisis (CCC). Opened up the wardrobe doors this morning and did not like anything I saw.

Daily Outfit: Interpreter

I did mention that last week was a bit crackers, right? On Thursday I found myself getting up early to interpret commentary for a visiting French judge at the National Band Championships. Cue lots of musical miscommunication but we got the job done in the end!

After a liquid lunch I headed to my next appointment at the Town Hall where I found myself spontaneously interpreting the Lord Mayor's speech at a civic reception! Glad to see my French can still be put to good use.




Love these stockings.
