Happy Birthday Harms!

Even with an eight year age gap, Harms and I have always been close. Growing up she was the perfect older sister and I was the typical little sister, bugging her incessantly. I stole her clothes, made her late EVERYWHERE and was her constant shadow. She never fobbed me off though, instead helping me choreograph daring dance routines and taking me on regular weekend outings. As we grew older, she continued to involve me in her life, having me stay for weeks on end at her place and cooking my favourite meals. I grew up wanting to be just like her.

Taking Stock

On this gloomy, wintery day I was inspired by this list to give you a sneak peek into my life lately.

Making: NOOD's raw chocolate tart with the unexpected secret ingredient being tofu! Check out more NOOD recipes here
Cooking: the perfect winter warmer, cheesy mushrooms on toast with wilted spinach.
Drinking: too much iced water for this chilly weather. 
Reading: The News - A User's Manual by Alain De Botton. An intriguing analysis of the news machine we love so much and what makes certain stories so addictive and others so damn boring.  
Wanting: to see these little munchkins again soon. Even though I've just returned from Cairns, I'm missing my crazy nephews already. They are growing up so damn fast and I loved our chats while I was there (intelligible and otherwise).
Looking: forward to our Flashback Friday party this weekend.
Playing: netball, as usual.
Listening: Tightrope by Illy on repeat.
Wasting: time.
Sewing: nothing. I rarely sew.
Wishing: adulthood wasn't so expensive. Bills, rent, who knew!
Enjoying: my Peter Alexander hot water bottle.

Watching: Friends reruns.

Wondering: how to recreate the amazing pear and goat’s cheese pasta I had in Sydney a few weeks ago.

Loving: The Lion King after recently seeing the musical - amazing!

Hoping: for a call from a potential employer. 
Marvelling: at the intelligence of my nephews after rewatching some cute videos I filmed. 

Needing: to slowly back away from the chocolate! Obsessed. 

Smelling: My divine beeswax candles, compliments of the lovely Brooklyn. 
Wearing: Thick knit bed socks and my cosy Seed scarf
Following: the ANZ Championship finals.
Noticing: the orangey red leaves that have fallen. 
Knowing: you have to be ready for everything that is thrown your way, life waits for no one! 
Thinking: about over thinking. I think too much. 
Bookmarking: Houzz. Great inspiration for future apartment interiors. 
Opening: new magazines received in the mail - bliss. 
Giggling: at talking cat videos...which are also slightly creepy. Also, old Facebook statuses which are hilarious and cringeworthy all at the same time. 
Feeling: sore from netball. I always end up with at least one (extremely) minor injury, whether that be a corked bum, a jarred finger or a bruised arm. All part of the fun, of course.
