Sarah Blasko “Seems Like Old Times” (Annie Hall) by Sneakattackmedia
And so does Sarah Blasko.
And here’s Diane Keaton singing the original in “Annie Hall”.
Brrr…
Snow! Beautiful Saturday morning.
We didn’t do a lot this last weekend. The weekend seemed to be brought to us by the letter P:
Pale and wan. Puzzles. Popcorn. Pizza. Puss in Boots. Pumpkin pie.
This puzzle
1) Speaking of snow – I’ve been listening to the new releases from two of my favourites – Kate Bush (listen to a stream here on NPR) and Bjork. Oh yes. New wintery tracks in abundance. Also listening quite obsessively to the gorgeous Chris Bathgate. And also listening to locals Fish & Bird and also Jon & Roy – although at this point, certain family members are starting to suggest that I’m turning into a hillbilly.
2) I made this thai curry upon my friend discovering lime leaves in the grocery store. Next time I would use less lime leaves and not even expect that the children might like it.
3) They do, however, like pumpkin pie – even if I do forget to put on the kitchen timer and burn it.
4) Are we talking about Christmas yet? …I didn’t think so.
Pinky blue
Holy smokes! Not sure if this actually deserves and entire blog post dedicated to it, but look at the colours of these berries and flowers. I do like a little turquoise on pink action. I have no idea what this plant is. It’s a little tree in a pot, about four feet high, which had very little foliage in the summer but always looked like it was meant to do more. Now in the Autumn it’s fulfilling its potential and is being a big time attention seeker. Any ideas what it is?
1) Quinces. I’m about to pick a tree full and then look at them and wonder what on earth I should do next. I think poaching them might be the plan. My favourite quince treat ever is Paterson’s cakes Quince and Ricotta Tart. Right there is reason enough to move back to Melbourne. But as I am on the other side of the planet, stuck here (quite happily, mind you) until further notice due to immigration processes, I will consider baking my own. Thank you to Patersons for putting the recipe online.
2) A shout out to my off-grid peeps on Lasqueti Island! You know who you are. I heard in the coffee shop this morning that you take the time to download Loobylu on dial-up just in case I update… well that’s incentive enough for me to add badly taken flora photos. xx
3) NaNoWriMo! Are you in? I am and I’m suffering. It took me about 14 hours, on and off, yesterday to write the required 1667 daily words. Agony. Today I’ve written 246 but the sun is shining and I’m going out for a walk to check out the house building going on next door. Maybe I’ll find some inspiration in the cement foundations or the ever-changing wall angles. Self-doubt be gone!
