Hope everyone had a satisfactory weekend.. We've been flat stick (shit I am a mum aren't I) around here. Wedding planning, & Mum arriving, & Oscars bday party, has left me with some pretty unattractive sags underneath my eyeballs today.
However, we had an absolutely splendid sun-soaked, seaside, picnic yesterday afternoon for Oscars (second) celebration;
Two hours before we were due to leave, I whipped up some sushi, & rice paper rolls, grabbed cheese & crackers & fruit, and en route, stopped in at the cheesecake shop to grab a big old mud cake because who can be bothered baking these days? Not I.
In the end, for a highly disorganised partaaaay, it turned out to be a big fat success in every way. Mostly thanks to Mother Nature for playing her part, and also to the large group of hippies re enacting an orgy dance just metres away- people watching was at its peak.
In wedding news, I had a breakthrough on Saturday. After what felt like an eternity, I found the shoes;
(Taking feet pics isn't as easy as one might think by the way)
Did I mention how much of a pain in the ass this task was? Finding a shoe that wasn't typically bridal, but wasn't too over the top, but was comfy, and wasn't too high, that was suitable for the grass, and that I could wear again (because who wants to buy shoes that can only be worn once?), was an absolute nightmare. And then I spotted these bad boys. And we were a match made in heaven. Tick! All that is left now is my veil, and we are done. Fucking done! Maybe I will be able to sleep ok at night now.. Here's hoping.
Only 8 weeks out now folks, Oli may want to find where those 'Exit' signs are before it's too late.
And in other not-so-fabulous news, the Black Keys have just gone and cancelled their show in Perth. It was supposed to be in 3 weeks time, and we've only been uber excited for 5 months. Such a bummer, alas, we'll be patiently awaiting their re scheduled date, and I'll just continue to thrash their album in the meantime. (I'll be that girl up the front who knows all the lyrics to every song, & is yelling inappropriate things and grinning like a maniac when the time comes)
Anywho, better scoot, grubs up;
I've been making this delectable avo smash combo with jalapeños, feta, tomato, limes, rocket & soft boiled eggs every single lunch for three weeks running now. Including weekends. No joke, this stuff is the business!
Hope you all have a lovely Monday,
Gem
Thought of the day "listening to the neighbours blast their terrible music makes me feel incredibly sorry for them & their complete lack of musical knowledge- "yeah bitch, yeah yeah yeah" is that actually sellable stuff these days? Gross"
