Around the house

The lovely Faberge heavy glass cup that Tom's colleague S gave to him to give to me... I put a candle in it. I'm not sure what it's really meant to be for. It's actually the deepest purple blue. I love it.

Corner store pineapple. I walked down the street holding two. If only I could have magically captured my shadow, it was hilarious. Like a strange tropical dancing lady.

Happy beyond words

That Matcha Frappe is available not 2 minutes from my work. That tomorrow will be hot, that I can definitely justify having one. But can I have another one today? At £2.90 it's going to be an expensive summer.

My first dinner....

After the tooth nastiness. Hot smoked salmon, brocollini and my latest food-crush, polenta. With nutmeg, and emmenthal and pepper.

Oh, Wool.

The amazing work of Peepwool. I have enquired, as to whether this one might find it's way to me....
and Christina Oh.

purley ted, poppy and the drive home

Purley Ted has been around for a long long time. I think maybe 50 years. The red poppies are in Mr's Granny's garden.. and the drive home was filled with amazing amazing clouds.

camden passage

the floor at frostfrench.. and a lost balloon

found on the ground

a heart, a petal, a heart-shaped petal

mr went on a recce, and came back with sweet photos

List of tiny wantings

A Toywatch.. from Selfridges.

a peppermint crisp, from the Australia Shop
to make a guitar pic, from a credit card... via NOTCOT

These things have been putting a smile on my face.

Almost every recipe is perfectly suited to my tastes. I shall cook.. all summer... wearing these..

stupidtooth

My stupid tooth had to come out. And far from getting better, it got worse worse worse.. so I have been resting. Spending time in the garden.. Eating a lot of this...
and forever grateful to the lovely men in this place, who have made me clear soup each day for lunch.

And when it's all better

I will go here and here and here.

I love I want

Oh how pretty these tickets look. Mr T has plenty from parking at the beach, multi-coloured.. but i somehow don't think they'd look quite this good.

Thai paper lanterns. So lovely. Do I need an occasion? The celebration of a few days of sun.

The most beautiful stitched animals ever created. Jennifer Muskopf's Clive and Sunshine range. I want I want.. Maybe the whale, or the fox, or the bear..

Urban Outfitters... hmmm, are trousers with elasticated ankles so wrong?

i have...

2 films to watch and a book to read, and the day is so sunny that not one of them will be touched. i'd like a full week off just to do what i want. alone, well... alone til say 6pm. when a lovely dinner might be shared.
i need a rich husband and some staff.

today...

ricotta, avocado and basil on toast.. darjeeling tea and chocolate coated rice cakes.. some walnuts and pickled onions that didn't make it to the camera.
the garden looks so beautiful. mr t has got such green fingers, he makes it like another room to sit in.

wrapped up rocks and a quilt slowly

oh my god, why did i start this monster of a task. why did i think crochet was quick? oh lord give me the strength to keep going..

You with the sad eyes..

Falling for... the neighbours Cornish Rex.

We may meet them today, to discuss what it's like to own one...... as we fell so in love with this crazy lovely breed. oh my, never thought i'd have a cat.
On our way to put lovehearts on the street...

one week later, all that's left is this..
