Eggshell Green

Stuff I Luff

• Free pool at JJs on Thursdays. I didn’t know about this regular feature until last week. It’s awesome.
• Free stuff in general is also awesome. Did I mention the cookies I got?
• Sleeping in. Harder to do when it’s so nice in the mornings. Snooze, dream, wake up, repeat.
• Second-hand stores. Not the ponsy ones that overcharge for everything. I’m talking about the ones where the cheap prices make up for the peculiar smell of the place.
• Sangria on the deck. Anything  juicy and cold on the deck on a hot day – I luff.
• Enjoying the two flowers on my orchid while they last.
• Mussels at the Leuven Belgian Beer Cafe – for $18.90 you can get a kilo pot of delicious mussels and frites, a meal large enough to share between two.
• Griffin’s Cameo Cremes. One of my childhood favourites that I still love, though now with a cup of tea and a snuggle with the hubby :D

Chocolate biscuit and coconut creme make a delicious treat

Stuff I Luff

• Vegetables from your own garden
• Roast chicken – nom nom!
• Shops that have real sales, like half price on half the store. None of this “up to 50% off” where there’s only a few things that are actually slashed.
• Sushi – I still love sushi. Unfortunately Midland Sushi wasn’t open last week for lunch, but hopefully they will be this week :D
• Going away with friends
• Pictionary!! Finally got my own game for Christmas. Just don’t let it ruin your marriage!

What do you think these two images (drawn by Hippy Ninja) are of?

Stuff I Luff

• Barbecues in the sun
• Stuff from the 50s
• Icecream
• Christmas songs by Sir Cliff Richard :]
• Katy Perry’s album One of the Boys.
  You can hear the album on her website. The first song plays on arrival – if the volume’s been cranked up and the sound is coming through your stereo because you’ve just been watching movies on the projector, you’ll get a big fright.
• Watching people smile while texting – so mischievious!
• All the flowering pohutakawa reminding you that summer and Christmas is not far away…

Flowering pohutakawas are a sure sign of New Zealand summer

Stuff I Luff

• Shopping and actually buying stuff
• Buying clothes and actually wearing them
• Not overusing the word “actually”…
• Making my own cocktails – cheaper and more abundant!
• Getting at least eight hours sleep a day
• Mixed leaf salads with avocado
• The hydrangea that I grew from a cutting and is now in full bloom with five cute little flower heads

My beautiful hydrangea
