10:20a - staring at the sun and listening to shells
This Autumn, it's been all about dining alfresco and food so delicious I want to just hug it (though it has been pointed out that this could get rather messy). A couple weeks back Shell took me to the very last session of the Moonlight cinema and we watched Donnie Darko whilst munching on a picnic she'd packed and every Tuesday at 1pm, Em and I have a standing picnic date at uni. We take turns packing each other lunches and pesto seems to be a recurring theme. Anna's also back in town (hurrah!) and I found her clutching a shoebox filled with things from her latest trips. Exactly this time last year she let me sift through her Thailand journals and photos and this time, she lifted the lid to reveal a box carefully divided into sections, each section holding handfuls of shells. We picked out our favourites (I loved the one that looked like a chocolate...) and spent a great deal of time trying to listen for sea sounds. When we could muster the energy to move in this uncharateristically hot autumn, we went upstairs to listen to her buddy play guitar. He performed barefoot, standing on a persian rug. He covered the Bee Gees in a surprisingly calming way. The guy sitting next to us offered us jubes and bubbles floated by outside.
And so it's ironic that on this Good Friday it's raining for the sister and I had planned a picnic and a trip to the beach. It will just have to be indoors. I think I've been quitely stressed - inspired and encouraged by a lot of things - knowing that it's about to manifest itself is something sometime very soon. Can't wait!
Happy Easter!
