GLAD

a list of gladness...with a hint of morrissey
(i'd insert a heart at this point but don't know how!)
starting with the beautiful flowers from my aunt rosemary

all's good here
we went to a fabulous party on saturday at abi's cafe...celebrating her birthday and spent the most lovely evening in her new garden with twinkly lights :: great music :: cheeky cocktails (ok...just ginger beer + lime for me!) :: yummiest barbeque :: dancing :: chatting :: seeing old friends...it was perfect!

when i saw this print for sale here i had to buy it for her birthday. for we loved the smiths...we loved them a lot...damn it we even went vegetarian! and she does looks like you abi...in the days when we wore more eye make-up :

runner beans brought in to the post office from one of our friendly customers. the smell as i cut them up for sunday dinner was so good. and to eat from a local garden and a generous person...delicious. sorry morrissey...we ate them with chicken!

and just to enhance the good things going on i pre-ordered this...how excited?? it is going to be a treat to see it on the shelves here later in the year especially feeling a connection with the contributors. congratulations to manda on her new job as editor!
