Summer Musings pt 2.

Without sounding too much like a show'n'tell // "My Summer" school paper
The very very best part of my december/jan was Woodfordia,
A truly crazy, creative and winsome folk fest.

In short
I laughed I cried ate falafel and danced in the African tent.
A beautiful start to the new year.

(Also we grew sunflowers! they are fucking awesome.)

How Roald Dahl is relevant to my life

I didn't realize but sometime in between finishing my portfolio and
starting a new diploma I grew to really enjoy blogging

I read this really excellent quote from Roald Dahl
who was once asked for advice on how to become a great author
he replied
"...sure practice writing but READ AS MUCH AS YOU CAN"

..and I feel thats all I've been doing the last 6 or so months
reading and listening to my friends, teachers, parents and lovers
and while I can be quiet
I sometimes feel that I am so filled with these
small instructions, lectures or gossip from the people I work with or love
...I am moved to speak or act

writing posts about my life (however quiet or mundane it is)
is really cathartic

I think Photography is also one of the freest forms of expression
So without further ado
Here are some of the photos from my recent adventures

done thus far

Summer always finds me with a kind of languid melancholy
in Australia November marks the onset of summer
and with exams over and done with
I find myself spending whole afternoons lying in bed absorbed
in the rotations of my ceiling fan
or in the kitchen reading the paper against the
familiar humming of the refrigerator.

...It's not to say my days have been completely unproductive
but as the thermostat rises so does my "Meh." Factor
why put on pants when you know you don't have to go to work?
why make breakfast when there is a bottle of apple juice in the fridge?

for once I am enjoying my slow regression into the teenage slob that I secretly am
because I know the final semester is going to be a bitch
so I'm planning to absorb as much sun, frivolity and quiet afternoons by myself
as I can (will also write up my mega to do list as well!)

Hope November is treating you kindly internet
(and/or the other people who read my blog)
