An Old Friend

Random story:

For a month or two now, there is this magpie bird watching me outside my window, I first noticed it when I was bored one day and just stared outside the window and there it was, as a baby, staring back at me. For that slight moment I felt I had a friend, or at least I felt reassured that someone was watching over me. Then the next day it came back, and I'm fairly sure it was the same magpie as the day before. Surely enough it came back everyday just perching outside my window looking in, I would see it every now and then but if I stare at it for too long it flies away. Two months has past now and it has grown bigger, I do find it strange that a magpie has come to visit me everyday while I was at work, could it be that it thinks I'm its mother? Surely not?

Is it a past family member watching over me?

Doesn't really matter what the reason is, it doesn't scare me that this magpie is the only thing that knows how lonely I get at work.



But on another random note, these are the things I've purchased lately:

A tea canister from T2 Tea, how cute is it? I couldn't resist!

Chef's Gallery

Now, i don't usually do this, but this is my first food blog! Not that i will be any good any it...

Celebrating my cousin's 21st Birthday i took her and my other cousin out for a lovely dinner at the new Chef's Gallery, which really is a work of art, the photos will prove it, err...excuse the quality, i only had my phone at the time.

The service was great and super fast, but i really recommend making reservations before hand as the line is quite long at times. The price was quite reasonable, and the food was pretty good, although it did lack a bit of something in some dishes.

Bee Happy

Little things in life that make me happy:

  • sleeping in while it’s raining out side
  • getting into bed with fresh sheets
  • watching Friends on repeat
  • eating cornflakes with ice cream
  • finding the perfect vintage dress and making a project out of it
  • seeing my mum’s reaction to new technology (she’s amazed by the power of the internet)
  • having simultaneous blonde moments with a friend, having those moments by yourself is bad, but when you both think alike it’s hilarious
  • Finding money on the street (it happened maybe twice!)
  • taking naps with my boyfriend, then waking up a few minutes before him just so I can stare at him (he’s really creeped out by it, but it’s the only time when he looks natural)
  • going to the art gallery by myself
  • finding the little crunchy bits first in the hot chips batch
  • blowing bubbles
  • watching the bacon sizzle in the hot pan

What makes you happy?
