PROJECT: DAY 27/366: Taking my Nan for a walk around kitsch and industrial-cute Teneriffe. Good morning wandering around this leafy suburb combined with a delicious brunch makes a good morning into a great morning.
So, this year, I made the soul-destroying decision to partake in the the 366 Challenge – a photo a day, everyday, for an entire year. Not only that, but I made the decision to do this completely in black and white – which is a whole new level of pain and agony – I find myself persistently poring over the day’s photos and sometimes only finding pictures that relate well in colour. Oh well, I’ve made my sad, and dull bed, I may as well lie in it. Now, the question remains – why haven’t you lovely folk heard about this yet? Well, I’ve been posting the photos in an album on Book With A Face – so that kind of explains all things.
PROJECT; DAY 28/366: Polaroid fun with my bros (and sis) on our first visit to Wagaya for the year 2012. I expect many more are to come. There's nothing like a roasty-hot ramen and chicken karaage pile to satisfy one's gut!
PROJECT; DAY 18/366: Oh look, it's a HUGE alpaca in a car. Who's car? Jasper's car! A fairly dull and sweaty day post morning shift - on the bright side, I've bought more things from Etsy. Be scared. Be very scared.
PROJECT: DAY 11/366: Siphon coffee, good company, shopping and a delicious dinner. "Almost everything about using a vacuum coffee maker is sensory involved: aromas, fragrance, motion, touch, action. Smell. Ahhh. Pour. Taste. More ahhhh." Spent the day in the lap of luxury - first with a calming bus trip in to the city, a delicious breakfast, more coffee, shopping, naps and dinner and desert, all accompanied by a host of lovely people.

- PROJECT; DAY 14/366: Suiting-up (and in Adam’s case sneaker-ing-up) and drinking all the things – a going-away dinner session for the lovely Janine at Ahmet’s, leisurely walks along the river and drinks at Stoke Bar. Wee’ll miss you Janine – and we hope you have an absolutely bogan-o-tastic time in Bundaberg!

- PROJECT; DAY 24/366: Cold and rainy weather calls for a good cuppa – trying to find a good cuppa in the suburban South-East is practically impossible. Oy. “Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it’s hard to go back to sleep.” – Fran Drescher

- PROJECT; DAY 35/2012: J&N – trying out the stamp kit that I purchased with the lovely Christmas gift voucher from Thomas. Having a little too much fun, a stamp-stampin’ away! /STAMPSTAMPSTAMP.
-
- PROJECT; DAY 26/366: I am the worst at keeping things alive – my little Poo Face (what I called my Tamagotchi-esque iPhone pal) has died a horrible death. Again. Happy Australia Day, folks!

- PROJECT; DAY 32/366: Getting ready for my dental appointment by enjoying a coffee and reading a book (that made me cry in public). Oh yes, and using my tiny little alpaca post-its as book marks, of course.
-
- ROJECT; DAY 36/366: Taking photos to create a new website banner with – lots of pictures of glasses, it so happens. Also, my website now happens to be “Tiffany Blue” – the shade of blue/green kind of reminds me of public toilets.
-
- PROJECT; DAY 20/366: Water colour skies and an Ikea breakfast under my belt. Finally the skies opened up and relieved me of this insane humidity. Hullo rain, thanks for making my day moist.
-
- PROJECT; DAY 21/366: A lovely little Pre-Chinese New Year and Going away celebration for our beloved Noriko at Em + Roger’s – we will miss you so much Noz! Take care, stay safe and God bless you on your travels!
-
- PROJECT; DAY 22/366: A real man will hold your stuffed alpaca for you. Yes, Clifford bought yet another alpaca for me – I think I may have a few too many alpacas now. This one has earmuffs and a little scarf, so it’s totally different from all the other alpacas I own. /Cough
-
- PROJECT; DAY 4/366: Oh look, it’s a cat! After a day of wandering about the Valley with Nan and Jasper, consuming piles upon piles of delicious food at both Campos and Harajuku Gyoza, we spent the evening winding down, watching QI whilst munching on Xiao’s delicious homemade Crème brûlée, Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream, sipping piping hot cups of tea and prodding the temporary-resident (male) ginger , (wrongly named) Mimi.

- PROJECT; DAY 5/366: At the piano at church. Although I can not personally play (any instrument at all really – there was a juvenile fling with the violin that ended violently, painfully and much like a cat being munched by a lawnmower) – I admire the emotion that can be conveyed by this wondrous instrument. “A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she sings.” D. H. Lawrence
Let’s hope I make it through the year, without ripping my own face off.
