How random are these strange vintage shots?

They are sooooo weird and I love them!

Hehe!

A surreal ism

Love the colours. Love the angles. Love the surrealism.

Long socks would like a cup of tea

I heart the feel of this photo - long cosy socks, casually sitting on the kitchen counter enjoying a cup of tea with just a hint of cheekiness. :) And is that a smurfs tee? That's pretty coolness.

Simon says

Simon Pegg is the coolest actor ever. If you haven't seen Hot Fuzz, you haven't lived to utterly cack yourself.

Lost penguin

It's a penguin. Standing under a streetlamp. I love it! Poor little lost penguin.

Lavender + Musk

Is this not the most delightful palette for a wedding? I absolutely love the mismatched-yet-matching bridesmaid dresses!

I heart you, miss Tokyobanhbao

One blog I follow religiously is Tokyobanhbao.
I'm loving her recent floral ensembles lately!

So cute!

What happened to happy?

J'adore this photo. It evokes feelings of balmy summer evenings in the holidays that seem to last forever, and never long enough. It speaks of laziness and relaxation but also of passion and enjoyment of a beloved hobby. Perhaps a couple of carefree friends will sip on milkshakes and stop for a swing at the park on the way down to the beach before enjoying the glowing sunset...

Dreams are essential to life, and daydreams are even more joyful xo

I Love Llamas!

What is it about Llamas that make me collapse into a helpless fit of giggles??!!

Beware the French Film!

I went to the cinema last night. It was rather quiet ...

We went to see:

A confronting film about the trials faced by pubescent French boys ... Very yucky and icky and no-holds-barred!

Do not take your little sister/young daughter!

An Anzac Beechworth

I spent Anzac Day in Beechworth this year.

It's a quaint, old little town ...

Full of charming little shops ... Some Frenchy ...

And 'purveyors of fine foods', selling delish local produce ...

My foodie friend and I ate at Wardens again. Let's show you our delicious three-hour Sunday lunch, shall we?

To start ...

Appetisers ... It's like art on a plate ...

... And VERY tasty art, I might add! Here are the mains, including the gnocchi above.

And now, dessert! (The best part!)

YUMMM!!

Then, to walk it off, we went to Nine Mile Music, where I bought a French CD ...

... then into Larder, the fromagerie next door.

Where foodie friend bought this cheese.

They were all out of my favourite pistachio turkish delight :(
Oh well, next time ...

And so ends the day with a cute doggie patiently waiting for his owner outside the painting shop!

Don't you just love a random selection of curious images?

Masterpieces from Paris

I went to see the 'Masterpieces from Paris' exhibition in Canberra.

Van Gogh

These priceless paintings are on loan to the National Gallery of Australia all the way from the Musée d'Orsay in France.

Degas

They were absoultely amazing to behold up close in real life. But don't try to take any photos - the guards will slap you on the wrist, stat.

Monet

I got to see the texture on the surface of the paintings - each and every brushstroke, which is not seen in printed copies of art books.

Pissarro

If you can't get to Paris, get yourself to Canberra!

It was well worth the day trip to Canberra (about 7 or 8 hours driving in total) and the hour-long wait to get inside the exhibition. And putting up with the dismal, rainy weather and getting soaked walking to and from the gallery!
