daylight savings and a trip to melbourne
This daylight savings thing is such a larrrf! Kidding, it messes with my body clock and I feel like a lazy shit because I thought I'd slept in till 12 today but really it was only 10, 9 in old time. And my stupid bloody iPhone had changed the time forward not once, but twice. Yes that's right kiddies.
Anywho, enough of that, my dear Mother-Duck and I are heading off to our favourite city later this week. Well, technically in 2 days! I've been hanging out for a holiday since my last one, and can't wait for it because I have definitely had enough of this place. For the moment at least!
Here are some photographios of last time Mum took a holiday to Melb. I unfortunately was not present, but I will be this time!

I stand alone atop Violet Hill, gazing at the sunset towards the horizon, the sunset glowing its brilliant Yellow glow, A Whisper swaying in the wind, guiding my mind back from the beginning, to the end. What If time seized to exist, Clocks never to persist, only White Shadows moving at the Speed of Sound. I wonder if The Hardest Part is really just Twisted Logic, reality Swallowed In The Sea. I think and ponder over the Trouble in life, but realize in the end, that Everything's Not Lost.- Some guy on YouTube

10 things you probably don't know about me
1. Sometimes I eat flavoured crackers for breakfast.
2. Last night I spent a good 15 minutes trying to get my dog to sneeze by sticking one of his own whiskers up his nose. That sounds a lot worse than it was..
3. I need at least 3.5 coffees in the morning to be able to function. Otherwise I do really stupid stuff such as look blankly at people who've just spoken to me and then say about 500 minutes later 'hang on, sorry, what?'. Especially embarrassing if it's a babe customer. This may or may not have happened to me two days ago.
4. I am obsessed with nailpolish and lipstick. I am a hoarder when it comes to these things. I have about 7 lipstick tubes of the same exact red colour but different brands. Also I recently stockpiled my nailpolish collection and it contains about 50 little bottles of varying colours most of which I don't actually wear - I have a rotating colour system which goes: aubergine, red, pink, nude and thats about it. Also, if you work the bottles out to be about $8 each.. well thats a lot. About $400 if you were wondering.
5. My future rides on me choosing one of the three things that I love more than most things to do. (I am good at these things - I think). They are music, writing, and people. My dream is to combine them. I might chuck photography and fashion in there if I'm being a bit modest.
6. Sometimes I don't do things just so I can spend time with my dog. Well I've never actually done this, but it has crossed my mind a number of times.
7. I have, among several other addictions, a serious problem with online shopping. And, kinda just shopping in general. You may think I'm joking. I'm really not.
8. I have a dream. And that is to open a wee vintage and new homewares shop with my Mama. Although, you probably already knew this due to me blabbering on about it often.
9. I won a national songwriting competition once. I was 11 but still. I got a guitar and a thousand clams.
10. My minds gone blank. I promise you I do actually have more than 9 things that make me up as a person. Oh wait I havent showered yet.

my weekend
On Saturday Mum and I journeyed a fair way from home, up into wine country, for a local farmers market they have up there. Here are some pictures!
After about 1 and a half hours of driving, we reached the farmers market where we bought some lovely fresh fruit and vegetables. The only downside was the wind - whipping up huge clouds of pollen and dust from the surrounding vinyards and crops. I am a sufferer of horrendous hayfever so I'm so glad I remembered to take a hayfever tablet before leaving!
Afterwards, we strolled into the centre of town, where we found lots of amazing vintage and homeware shops. A couple of them were brilliant and inspired us no end but I couldn't take pictures inside, sadly.
On the walk into town we passed an incredible building, the old Masonic Hall. It was for sale and we desperately want to buy it and start our little vintage business inside! Unlikely, but here's to hoping!
After looking through some more vintage and antique shops we decided to stop for a coffee at a little cafe in the next town, called Nosh, with incredible old shelving framed by wallpaper and little knick-knacks the owners had been collecting.
We took the long way home, and passed incredible scenery and a strange electronic woman (a scarecrow perhaps?), who Mum insisted deserved a photo!
A beautiful, inspiring, tiring day. I want to go back there!
