    So these are called Stock. Such an unspecific name for a very pretty and fragrant flower. This is my first five minutes with these flowers. More shots are coming in the next couple of posts. And here are the more boring shots of the vase in full: Would you like to join in the RegularRandom…

    Five Minutes with a Marshmallow Surprise – RegularRandom

    Ok, so I found this ridiculously delicious looking dessert at my new local bakery. I say new, but it’s not new, I just discovered it recently, it’s near my dog park and and it’s amazing. For you Melbourne people, it’s The Village Bakery in Brunswick (they don’t have a website). It’s called a Marshmallow Surprise and…

    Five Minutes with the pinkest posey I’ve ever seen – RegularRandom

    Hi there, Welcome to this week’s RegularRandom. I’ve been a little random with posting lately, and I apologise for that.

    Five Minutes with a very pretty hot chocolate – RegularRandom

    This week, it’s hot chocolate. It’s Sunday night and I’ve just sent off a big report that’s due and I fancy a hot chocolate right now. So I’ll post these photos and then go make one for myself. It’s cold and rainy here in Melbourne this weekend – perfect weather for blankets, and hot chocolates…

  • Five Minutes with my new Handbag – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with my new Handbag – RegularRandom

    So, I might have bought a new bag 😊 It’s been a rough few weeks. I needed a little retail therapy. Plus, my favourite handbag, that I’ve had since 2010, was destroyed by mould in my leaking apartment. These are my reasons. But really, I just wanted it. So I got it. Perfect opportunity for…

    Edit: actually this is a 10 minute shoot! I got carried away. I might have had a sip before I started! Yesterday, June 9, was World Gin Day! I also discovered that it was World Rosé Day, so I decided to buy some Pink Gin. I made a delicious cocktail (recipe below) and went on…

    Five Minutes on Mother’s Day – RegularRandom

    Happy Mother’s Day to my mama and all the other mamas out there. I picked up this gorgeous cookie on Friday and have been saving it for a pretty little Mother’s Day shoot. These were all shot in five minutes, but yes I cheated a little and took the cookie off the plate. Second set…

  • Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom

    Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom

    While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…
