Many mornings I wake up with pages and pages of some yet-to-be-conceived book being written in my head. Some mornings it is a script. and other mornings it is a series of images, most likely inspired by dreams. I look forward to waking. It is one of the most creative times of my day, and it the only time of the day that I just let it be. I nestle into the pillow, pull the covers around me and just let my mind play quietly. <\/p>\n

In other news, apparently I do have one male reader. He emailed me yesterday to let me know. It was such a beautifully written email that I wanted to share it with you all and asked if I could write it as a comment to my post, but I had no reply. And I realised at that point, if he wanted to write a comment he would have. Silly girl. But hey, it’s not the first time I’ve scared a male away. <\/p>\n

Speaking of males, the Dalai Lama<\/a> is in town, but not this town. He has just landed in Sydney and will be giving a series of talks, check them out here<\/a>. Of course I will not be attending since I am on the other side of the world, again. Happens every time he arrives in my part of town, somehow I am elsewhere, what is with that? My friends <\/a> will be having some special private audiences with him<\/a> and I hope to be able to share more about all that with you soon. There is also an awesome concert <\/a>going on as well, this Sunday at the magnificent Angel Place<\/a> recital hall. If you are in Sydney or near Sydney, do go, you won’t regret it. <\/p>\n

In not so interesting news, my outfits du jour have been becoming a little crazy since I have put a ban on leaving the boat until I get my book finished. Yesterday I was wearing this peacock blue dress<\/a> with gray tights and a cream aymara<\/a> cardigan, with my hair shoved up on top of my head, dishevelled curls sticking out everywhere, a blue ribbon wrapped around it and one of Marie’s crochet pins<\/a> in my hair. I was so tempted to show you, but I chickened out. Cooookooo. <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

The above pic I took this morning, it is my little tea collection. Oh and a tin of Milo, it seems no one can take the aussie out of me. <\/p>\n

I know I know, back to work already. I hear <\/em>you.<\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

Well with Manda’s<\/a> approval below, I am going to keep going, la pipelette<\/a> is out of the box today. I suspect this could be another <\/a>never-ending post. <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

10:58am: We were all blown away<\/a> when Australia finally said sorry. tears were shed. lost hearts were found and healing began. I was hoping with all my heart that it was going to be the beginning of a domino affect to spread across the globe. well guess what? it’s Canada’s turn<\/a>. Go Canada!! I am so so pleased to hear this news, this is another momentous occasion for the survival of humanity. <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

11:06am: I’m listening to him<\/a>. And my favourite song is down the line. <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

5:43pm: is 5:43pm too early to pour a glass of wine? <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

6:54pm: yes, i’m still working. i think i can see a light at the end of the tunnel. i mean, i think it’s a light. oh wait a minute, ah yes, the brightness button on my screen has been bumped to full capacity. oops-a-daisy. <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

7:12pm: i made this today with my dying peonies and astilbes (did I get it right this time? merci \u00c3\u00a0 tout!<\/em>) – a bright little still life for a dreary weathered day…<\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

7:54pm: French Boy has gone out to hunt. straight to the local indian diner for takeaway. just to give you a clue of what is in the pantry: no bread. no cheese. that about means starvation for me. <\/p>\n

and just in case you were wondering, there are now only four days left to send in your submission. just FOUR…<\/p>\n

pjb_countdown4.jpg<\/a><\/p>\n

can you tell i cheated today? yep, i just erased the apple core via photoshop. <\/p>\n

……………………………………..<\/p>\n

and i promise this will be the last entry of the day. i bought jose’s album<\/a> because it is just that good. and i’ve decided it is not enough to just send you to his myspace<\/a>, so i have brought you the video of my latest favourite song right here. i advice to turn it up loud as i have been doing all day. <\/p>\n
