Goodbye

My good friend and flat mate is heading over to America to live with her boyfriend for a year.
For her combined leaving party and 21st, I baked and decorated three cakes for her.

The cake in the middle was a bit of a fail, I burnt it and had to cut lots of it off. So I didn't put too much effort in to decorating it.

This one because she likes the beach and surfing.

Half Australian flag, half American.

Anna wore a beautiful flowing black jumpsuit and some killer nude heals. I got a hand made prom/bridemaids dress from the op shop.

This is the dress, it only cost $10 and I'm really into sheer fabric at the moment, so this was perfect.
I wore a white slip underneath which was a couple of dollars.

The colour is blue green, and has a pretty white rose on the neck line.

My brother and I looking pretty good...

Phone Booth Jazz

Went out on Friday last week to listen to some jazz and drink wine with friends.

Two Days in Toodyay...

Well it was actually three days, two nights...
I went on a mid week camping trip, which was so fantastic that I didn't want to waste any time taking photos.

Which kind of sucks because it was a beautiful place.

These are a few of the activities I enjoyed on my short trip...
1) listening to fellow camper friends play some splendid tunes!
2) starting and finishing a book in one day, only stopping to refule on port and red wine
3) playing games and chatting about merkins and hippogryphs by candle light
4) relaxing, instantly followed by some more relaxing
5) night time yabbie hunts with some dead fox fiddling in between
6) watching ants go about their daily duties
7) soaking up the sun and walking in the rain
8) thinking that I was "good" at playing the drums only to discover that I was majorly incorrect
9) living the good life pretty much constantly, until I returned to the humdrum of shit city living

Due to a lack of photos, instead I shall tell you to have a listen to this local band... 

Hand Stands For Ants.

Pretty swell guys with exciting fun songs!

Dublin Jazz Aunts

I saw the Dublin Jazz Aunts play at Xwray in Fremantle.
The four guys create really beautiful acoustic roots, rock music.
Have a listen on their Myspace page

I'm definitely a fan of their song, Part Of Me.

Please excuse my bastardly horrible photo!

It was a combination of my lack of skills and a bottle of red wine that let me down!

 But, before endulging in a bottle of red and some classy beats, dinner was needed. We went to a sushi bar.

I'd never been to one and I'v got to admit I got a little excited!

Food on a conveyor belt just continuosly comming at you, like what the hell?? Bliss!
