Word to ya mother



I'm no craft master but I managed to whip this up for Mum. Only the best effort for the very best of mothers! My Mum is an enigma wrapped in a riddle who still continues to amaze and baffle me. Only when you get a little bit older do you come to realise how spectacular the people closest to you are. Bessy defied a 1700 year old tradition to marry the man she loved.  She moved to the other side of the world knowing no one but him and set up an amazing life for herself.  She makes the best food I have ever tasted, loves ABBA and Lady Gaga and  is selfless in everything that she does.  Happy Mothers day Mum! xx

Maybe if all adults kept the imagination they had when they were children, the world would be more like this?

Just because


Helplessness Blues


I spent last night lying on the couch listening to Helplessness Blues. It's been a long wait for the new album but I definitely wasn't disappointed. Would it make sense if I said it's the same but different? There's a new direction which is amazing but it's distinctly them. Ahh happiness.
You can stream the album on NPR.

Sleeping beauty







“Death-haunted, quietly reckless, Lucy is a young university student who takes a job as a Sleeping Beauty. In the Sleeping Beauty Chamber old men seek an erotic experience that requires Lucy’s absolute submission. This unsettling task starts to bleed into Lucy’s daily life and she develops an increasing need to know what happens to her when she is asleep.”

Directed by Julia Leigh and produced by Jane Campion, Sleeping Beauty looks amazing.

Sakura sakura!



 Holy smokes! The cherry blossoms are out. It's lovely to be back in Japan.
