The things I’ve seen this week. A kaleidoscope of colours, climates and subjects. Life really isn’t as mundane and predictable as you think it is.
A chocolate freckle for afternoon tea to celebrate my being at school pick up well before 5pm for a change.
My shopping from the little grocery store down the road from work. There’s no mistaking its Inner West location with that half loaf of Bowan Island wholemeal while the pre-cut pineapple and cold-pressed OJ (made on-site) are a collective nod to the tendrils of gentrification that are weaving themselves into the fabric of the ‘hood and into the hearts of its traditionally artistic and student population.
My Uniqlo hoodie arrived this week and it’s just the perfect cut for me. The cuffs and waistband are loose, making the overall look casually drapy and the feel super comfy. It’s the only kind of athleisure leaning to loungewear look I can pull off reliably.
Parents and carers aren’t allowed onto school grounds at the moment but their phones are. Master SSG took this photo of the fort he built with his friends for me.
The look (and scent) of my kitchen benchtop this week. Coffee is a given (instant at home … it’s always instant at home) but the perfume? Well. I managed to dislodge the tubing of the atomizer and the only way I could fix things was to … openthetopandtippreciousperfumedownthedrain … Perhaps the perfume wasn’t entirely wasted because the kitchen has been smelling luxe ever since.
I saw and splashed through a few puddles this week. The wet weather has set in and my wellies are literally kicking up their heels.
