14.4.2012 Picnic at Botanic Park. I love these guys. And picnics and cheese and bread and dips and pastries. And sunlight.  And laughter.  My life is excellent in ways that make me want to slap my own face sometimes.

08.1.2012 Midnight MexicanWhat is it about the hours betwixt 1 and 3 that make the idea of salty, juicy salted foods so compelling? I don’t know and I don’t care, actually, as long as burritos exist and I stuff them in my face.

07.1.2012 PancakesIn a rarely seen feat of split-second-decision-maki ng prowess I turned heads all over Adelaide today by abruptly switching sides in the age old Sweet v. Savoury breakfast debate. Don’t worry Eggs Benedict. I’ll be home soon.

03.1.2012 I can still play in sprinklers On the stroke of midnight, no less. I do dig parts of Summer, in particular the heady feeling of possibility that thickens the air at night and seems to make everything seem to be a lovely slow motion replay of the time of your life.

Optional Extra: A walk through Norwood on a Summers night We’ve dropped in on our mate Cath and are meandering serenely back to Caz’s, it’s near midnight and the day has finally eased into a mellow, breezy calm, and the first time I’ve comfortably been outside for two days. We laugh loudly, forgetting the time. I take off my shoes as we traverse the Osmond Terrace island, feeling each step spring pleasantly on the thick green.  We walk through the statue, a series of metallic rings of differing sizes, realising as we get close that each is lit up with people’s stories. They are sweet and short and lovely and I feel a warmth for my city as we walk the streets while the wind is soft and the sidewalks don’t matter.

01.01.2012 HNY First day of 2012 featured my marvellous nephew, his excellent parents and me and my mum all attempting to cool off in the IDIOTICALLY HOT WEATHER by being in some way involved in the kiddy pool at once. Worked for a little while.
