Dress # 8

Gee that is a lousy photo of a very nice denim shift, one of my favs. But it is dark, and nobody was around so I had to leap up and get a shot when a person became available. I'll try to get more fancy next time.

Dress # 7

Love this buttery yellow, buttery soft draping dress. I am not putting up a front shot though because I belted it, then we decided it was too well cut to belt, but then it was all crushed. : (

Love the way it fits at the back though, very clever and flattering.

dark days

Well the weather today was DARK, with occasional rain of the sort that halts conversation if you have an iron roof, which we do. I know I will get desperate for a ride before this clears, there is a cyclone bingling around in the Gulf of Carpentaria that could keep us under this thick cloud all week. With that in mind, I have pimped my knapsack:

(Fibre Flare Shorty Cycle Light Stick)

 This may induce seizures when in flashing mode, and combined with my dazzling normal rear flasher, but I am using it anyway. Ride safe everybody!

just Saturday

No dress today! I am really a  shorts and polo shirt kind of girl most days. I did go on an expedition for belts today, but I failed in the attempt. We managed to get in a ride for coffee in between storms, and then Scott ran, and I walked out to meet him on the weir. When we got home there was a Ulysses butterfly in the feral bougainvillea in front of the house. He is bright blue and on the left...

 Before the rain set in I did a quick lime and eggplant harvest and cut some fresh flowers

 I also cut a Heliconia that is a bit special and not often harvested, but it is loving all this rain. 

 Then I made mint sauce to go with a lamb roast, and baked a lemon drizzle cake, and then it was wine o'clock. Apron by Singapore airlines, a gift from Scott years ago.

A perfect, relaxing Saturday.

Dress # 6

If it's raining, take the bus. *sigh*.

 I am running home, and I don't care how crappy it is out there.

Glah... bus drivers! 

 Couldn't resist taking this picture of the kookaburras assembled obediently.

 Why look! A dress with white spots! Much mirth around the office, but I love them all!

Turquoise just screams summer to me, and Mom always said it was my best colour.

Dress # 5

I've got sunshiiineee on a cloudy day...

Same dotty fabric as yesterday, more constructed dress. Can you tell is absolutely bucketing rain?

This dress also goes fabulously with my floral shoes...  

Dress # 4

Much hilarity in the hallway, but I think I found a better photographer because she is a sewer. Accompanied by a poser. Another basic pull on shift in cotton, but deadly with royal blue floral shoes! Students stopped me more than once today to compliment the combination.

And it was my Bike Week Ride to Uni Day. The Uni is very peaceful when you arrive to set up at 6:30am. But soon after 7 they started to arrive 

 60 people turned out on a drizzly morning

 Food, prizes, conversation, great coffee thanks to the Espresso Coffee van

all types of bikes!

This is why I am a giant amongst cyclists I guess... har.
