Everybody's talking about...

My new layout!
I know, I know, it's a normal blogger template. I just wanted something lighter. Because it is the dry season and the sky is light and bright.

In unrelated news, I went to a garage sale today and SCORED: Two Golden Hands Craft books, Three Hobbytex pictures (they are paint-by-number but I will leave them plain) and One Mosaic puzzle.




I'm going to try to do the puzzle tonight. I expect it's hard because it has crazy tetris shaped pieces that make it impossible to find the corners and edges.

Today Joe and I went to see 'I Love You Man'. I have to say I was sceptical at first, but was soon laughing my (pert) arse off. I think it would be a good date film. It's half-way between a chick flick and the Judd Apatow 'bromance' style films that boys these days are so fond of.

I also went to an RPM class today. That means 'Revs Per Minute' I think. The instructor was good- really motivating and encouraging. But JEESH she could breathe heavily into a microphone. Seriously, it sounded like a porn movie soundtrack at times.

Now the most exciting thing... tomorrow we are getting a PIANOLA! Thanks to the wonderful Bianca Jae.
Sing-along in Millner!
We are going to make the trek out to Palmerston tomorrow afternoon to pick up our new baby, and then move him/her into his/her new home in the back room (soon to be called the music room).
I will post photos toot-sweet.

Last night I went on a boat cruise on Darwin harbour. The sunset was stunning, the company was friendly, the breeze was cool, the marscapone was creamy and the wine was free. I was so wrapped up in the moment that I forgot to take photos. So here is one of a comparably beautiful sunset last week at Mindil.



The picture doesn't do it justice, but my little iphone camera did her best and I want to acknowledge her effort.

Finally, a little bit of cuteness for you.



This is from The Toy Maker, which is a wonderful website of things to see and do.
Ah love.

Hooroo gentle readers.

Love,

Lucy.
