Nice Things On A Sunday Afternoon

by Amber on April 11, 2010 in Notebook

It’s a Sunday afternoon and I’m at home generally being well behaved and studious. Here’s a few of the blissful little things that are making up my life at the moment:

  • Crumble. Last weekend my friend Lazarescu made the most amazing apple crumble – with double the crumb. Topped with vanilla yogurt ice-cream; we devoured it late at night after a beach expedition, and then had some more for breakfast!

  • Perfectly worn-in tees. My current favourite: a sand coloured, stripey, sheer and slouchy number.
  • Connan Mockasin. Such a languid, dreamy little voice. At a recent show he performed MJ’s “Remember the Time“. Twas a perfect cover.
  • Drawing. Find a pen and just start noodling… I spent a good portion of the day sitting with my sister on my front porch with a cup of tea, pencil and paper. Drawing and chatting.
  • Sisters. Speaking of my sister… she is a gem! Courtney is everything you could hope for in a sibling. Cute, funny, smart, and the owner of an excellent wardrobe. (Hemi, you’re cool too but we can’t share dresses.)

  • Gaudi’s work. I want to go to Barcelona and revel in the architecture (soon). In the mean time I’m filling up my hardrive with images of his beautiful buildings.
  • Autumn weather.  This is my second autumn in 6 months and while Auckland isn’t as gorgeous as NYC in the fall, it’s up there. Leggings, crisp mornings, foliage. I’ve said it before but I really like it when the world is in equilibrium and we all get the same sort of temperate weather.
  • Massages. To be more specific, Thai foot massages from Ease. Sinking into their big comfy chairs, reading intelligent magazines and supping on delicious chai tea is some kind of heaven.
  • Fresh air. Quick marches to get the blood moving. Forgoing the bus and the cacophony of crazies for my own thoughts. It’s good to be outside.

Autumn soon...
