topiary

Mum and I finally got around to visiting the topiary garden we saw on Gardening Australia. He is a man who lives in Ardeer and apparently spends 2 hours per day trimming. On the drive down the Avenue, we noticed many of his neighbors on the street had been influenced by him. What I also loved was his concrete sculptures. What an inspiring artist.

Pikaland post

I woke up to lots of sock orders thanks to this blog called Pikaland . Amy has established a following based mainly on illustration examples and topics. I really love nurturing communities that are generous in sharing information.

If you haven't got your pair yet or the Piano socks, check out my store where they are on sale for $10 a pair, 2 pairs for $15 or 10 pairs for $50. Shipping for my Aussie friends is only $2 and only $10 for international friends. One size fits all and I can practically guarantee that they are a perfect gift for your nephew to yoga teacher to lover.

soupy

 

Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my long time (15 years = 105 in person years) pal Soupy, aka Milly. Such a sweet, loving, loyal living soul was truly inspiring. If I think deeply about it, her love was unconditional and I hope she has gone onto live another happy life as another dog or who knows what. Thanks Soupy, Soupa, Soupy Doupy, Soup Doggy Dog, Soups.

prince

A few of my favorite Prince lyrics....

What's the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing you down?
Is the mailman jerking you 'round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone else's box?
Tell me, what's the matter with your world
Was it a boy when you wanted a girl?

Would you let me wash your hair?
Could I make you breakfast sometime?
Well then, could we just hang out
I mean, could we go to a movie and cry together?
Cos to me baby, that would be so fine

I just can't believe all the things people say - Controversy
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? - Controversy
Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? - Controversy

I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain

 

 Wow... Brisbane was great.
