Beauty in Decay – Pink Hydrangea 1
The hydrangea bouquets have been drying away quite contentedly in their vases, out of my own sheer laziness and neglect really. They’re still in the water actually – I should really sort that out. Anyway, today I decided to photograph the pink ones, they have really held their colour so beautifully – the original photos…

Pink Skies at Night – RegularRandom
I went out with a friend on Australia Day (26 January) for drinks and pizza and a few more drinks, and a stroll around the neighbourhood. It was such a lovely afternoon – perfect temperature, great conversation, really nice. I was home by 8pm, just in time for sunset, so I spent five minutes (actually…

Gin & Flowers
My friend and I share a love for gin. When he told me about this Aussie gin from the Margaret River in Western Australia, of course I had to try it. I picked up a bottle for him for his birthday and it was delicious – one of my favourites. It has typically Australian botanicals…

Birthday Chocolate Tart – RegularRandom
It must be tough having a birthday in the days leading up to Christmas. One of my friends at work, Anna, has her birthday on the 19th, and so we had a little morning tea to celebrate. I brought along a chocolate tart from my favourite bakery and we all enjoyed it on her day.…

Five (actually six) Minutes with this Doughnut – RegularRandom
I’m not usually one for doughnuts. Unless they’re spectacular, and that’s the only way I can explain this one. It’s from my usual bakery. I went in to get some bread but this caught my eye – I’m always looking for something that has some height or texture or some other kind of interest, and…

Five Minutes with French Earl Grey Tea Cake – RegularRandom
I discovered a new-to-me coffee place last weekend, picked up a very good takeaway flat white, and a croissant for the next day’s breakfast. Today, I stopped by there again with Gidget to get another flat white. They let me bring her inside the very tiny store to order my coffee, and I saw this…

Five Minutes with Poppies (or Ranunculus?) 1 – RegularRandom
Today was a gorgeous day where in Melbourne – 17 degrees, with beautiful warm sunshine. I slept late, I caught up on some YouTubers I’d been missing, then I took Miss Gidget to the park. Everyone was out and about with their puppies, enjoying the fabulous warmth. A quick stop at the bakery (you know…
