Wee Birdy

I am simply in love with the blog Wee Birdy. Like myself the author of this blog covering shopping, books, eating and drinking is a Sydney girl with a passion for London. I only wish I'd stumbled upon her blog sooner as I am also returning to Sydney to live. She puts such care and attention into each post to create a truly beautiful blog.
I saw her photo of a gaytime (an Australian ice cream, below) at the beach and got so homesick!

Oh well, I eagerly await more of her posts on my hometown!
Enjoy.

The pursuit of happiness

A great review from the New York Review of books featuring Exploring Happiness and The Politics of Happiness - written by a husband and wife!
Enjoy.

Road Trip!

Loved Ian Birrell's road trip along the Mississippi in this weeks guardian travel section. Makes me want to rent a mustang and drive through steamy swamps and down to New Orleans while listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival.
One day.

What can you do in twenty five words?

I can post the link to the New Yorker's review of  Hint Fiction: An Anthology of Stories in 25 Words or Fewer”. That's about it.
Enjoy.

Grilled Cheese Social

A blog dedicated, seemingly, to grilled cheese sandwiches.
....Why have I not found this before? With posts entitled "Cheddar Cheddar Bang Bang" (above) , this is right up my alley. It reminds me of the french toast I recently waxed lyrical about.
Enjoy.

Nerd Boyfriend.

I am loving the photo blog Nerd Boyfriend.
Good for a laugh.
(Except for the young James Spader. Yum.)

Food for thought

This article in The Philosophers Magazine sees Oxford academic Peter Hacker present his ideas on the nature of philosophy and the brain. It made my head spin in parts, but, as with the majority of those who have commented, I don't believe a person can exist without a brain (as Hacker does...read on to find out more).
Enjoy.
