Here’s a little of what I’ve been doing, discovering and loving lately:

• Reading David Gillespie’s new book, Toxic Oil, and feeling the earth shift a little. 
• A sublime kayak down the Goulburn River with my father. 
• Making chili crab spaghetti.
• Going back to the dark ages and listening to Tom’s Diner!
• The heat. Everyone’s complaining about day after day of hot weather, but I can’t get enough of it!
• Realising that my technology curfew is much harder than I thought it would be, but that the pay-off is much richer.
• Late afternoon lemonade icy poles and a swim at the beach.
• Spring cleaning in Autumn. There’s nothing like clearing out a cupboard to make your life feel a little less chaotic!
• Discovering the secret to red lips that don’t smudge and have serious staying power is Hourglass Cosmetics’ Velvet Creme Lipstick in Raven.
• Pottering in the garden as dawn breaks.
