Oh no! That would have been something else! I saw them a few years ago at John Cain Arena so that was huge but Anita’s is pretty tiny. It was their return gig, so excellent. New music coming too!
Tomato and stuff soup. Today, garlic croutons and Parmesan. Also threw in a Parmesan rind and guanciale rind while it was simmering. Umami bomb.
I did this today instead of working because I was having feelings so better to stab the fabric etc. anyhow I am pretty proud of it so here! Look at my new embroidery
This was meetings BEFORE the family weekend. Now up the mountains and loving it.
Nearly done. If my shoulder didn’t hurt so much it would be finished by now.
What in the unsolicited spam messages hell is this shit? I have never in my life interacted with this rabbi or this synagogue why the hell are they messaging me for donations
Low clouds in Sydney today. Lucky shot from an iPhone from a slowly moving car on the Anzac Bridge.
I'm in an Annie Lennox mood this week so I am playing her on Spotify and this is the music video for A Whiter Shade of Pale... it's a bunch of people in a circus ring and Annie is dressed as bear and it is mad and beautiful and I love her SOOOOO much.
It could definitely become a skirt? Or else maybe a bag? I want to do sashiko on a denim jacket… I visited Japan in March on a craft tour and visited a sashiko workshop. It is such a gorgeous craft.
And I ran, I ran so far away... I am wondering about hairstyle inspo and this band and that song and things like that...
Clubbing in Delhi. Look up Scary Pockets on Spotify and put it on shuffle. Thank me later.
Hotel buffet Indian breakfast is basically pan fried carbs with plain yogurt when you can’t handle spicy or coriander. Delish though.
Oooh I love the idea of making a salt!! I have a tin of it too. But you can definitely also just make a lovely tea.
Look at this - the workshop that has been stencilling kimono fabric since the beginning of the Edo period. 400 year old stencils, using with the same process to communicate status and expertise via fabric. Zoom in on these pics!
One of the downsides with a tour is you don’t have control over your coffee choices! I survived and I saw so many things I would have missed on my own!
