almighty roar!

Triple J's Hottest 100 Winner:

Mumford and Sons with 'Little Lion Man'.

A song that takes me to an English pub with a pint of beer and a rowdy group of music-loving friends everytime I listen to it. It graced our ears on the drive home from an Australia Day at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast.

The boys from Mumford & Sons played the number one song live in the JJJ studios yesterday for all those listening around the country - and the world, on Australia Day 2010.

pledge away

As a self-confessed bookworm... or rather - avid reader, I certainly pledge to read the printed word. With the technological age claiming all things sacred, it's important for us all to keep reading and not be 'spoon fed' our information. SO READ - Beit on your phone, computer, magazines, newspapers or street billboard! But I think there is nothing so sacred as a books precious pages.

Like many other bloggers, you can pledge too!

Head to http://readtheprintedword.org/ and place a button on your blog.

Or even better...

sweet sea bound sigh

After perusing my favourite blogs, as I usually do here at work amongst briefs, I came across this gorgeous painting 'Deep Down' by Casey O'Connell.

Sourced via the rockstar diaries, I proceeded to Casey's site: http://web.me.com/caseyoconnell2/Site/Casey.html

and fell inlove with the other sweet pieces in her new collection.

This piece makes me think of Boyfriend... we haven't kissed underwater yet... but the beauty in it resonates with me. I'll have to show him!

I think you should check them out too.

stuffed... olive

A photo I particularly like for the composition, colour hues and it's quirkiness.  'Tis myself and Janelle (naturally, I have the olive in my Lady Danger lips). Taken on New Year's Day on the roof top of our beach bach, at Urenui Beach Camp, New Zealand.

bloody beautiful mate

I thought this was just lovely - and really summed up some Aussie summer love. And a perfect Australia Day recipe too!
