The go-between

The go-between (this namesake of this blog) is on television on friday night...shame I won't be able to watch it as I am in Melbourne for a few days (!)

I promised my friend I would post this clip from Juno, we giggle about it tout le temps and it's one of the best movie moments ever!
Enjoy.

The Pleasures and Sorrows of work

I am so excited to read Alain de Botton's new book!

So beautifully written, its like food for the soul. And he's coming to Sydney next month, I can't wait to see him!

Can you believe my friend took these amazing photos?

I think she deserves a wider audience than facebook

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love interesting window displays....none of the attention grabbing stuff like live models, but just pretty, inspiring things that make you smile as you pass by. There was one near my house of a black dress and coat with a long pea-green scarf. Simple, elegant, eye catching. I was so sad when it was replaced!

AMAZEment

I love everything about this book, the cover, the title and the first page. It was written in the sixties, and normally I dont like science fiction but the opening is great! It's so kooky to read what people thought would be happening in the future (at that time, the nineties).

Can't judge...

I love the website http://covers.fwis.com/, the covers are so beautiful and I love the idea that people want to discuss them. A custom designed cover of someone's favourite book would make such a special gift. What would you put on a cover?

My New Mantra

We were sitting in the park in yesterdays oppressive heat and stumbled across my new mantra. It must have been the heat or the Monet exhibition we had just seen, but there it was: 'Life should be one long poetry reading'.

Poetry readings had struck me as an enjoyable thing to do it the cool somewhere, instead of a trip to the multiplex in the city on a hot summers day.
