Lady loves…

* Silly afternoons with friends drinking champagne in the sunshine.

* Fresh salads with lashings of avocado and delicious feta cheese.

* Planning a granny trip around New Zealand with my man. A stack of books, a tin of tea, a caravan and two blissful weeks with nothing to do but knit and play bowls. Sigh!

* My fabulous new lipstick.

* Having intense conversations with people who make you feel like you’re the most fascinating person that they’ve ever met.

* Nights off from my show eating yummy pizza with the Smaggles.

* The fact that I kicked November’s butt!

* Cheeky chocolates with Browny when we get our coffee in the morning. 

* Big, massive, cleansing sneezes that feel like you’re extracting parasitic brain cells.

 

Lady loathes…

* Being tired and run down.

* The sales lady who snapped at me in Melbourne.

* The unpredictable weather.

* Immigration. I’m not against people moving to other countries but if they could do it quietly and illegally it would make my job a whole lot easier.

* Cutting myself shaving. A week later and I can still feel the wound thumping.

* Not having enough time to bake.

* People who make redundant statements expecting a conversation to ensue. ‘Gosh! Don’t you look festive!’. What the hell am I supposed to say to that? ‘So… Back from Melbourne then?’ was another winner that I got today. Learn the art of conversation. PLEASE!

* Road kill. And my inability to stop myself from sticking my head out the window to get a good look and then having nightmares about kangaroo spleen. 

What about you my love? What’s ticklin’ your pickle or pushing your buttons this week?

Love Lady Smaggle

    I’m kind of excited that you’re coming to these fair shores. And that Xmas is coming. (Advent starts on Monday!) Also the weekend is nearly here – I plan to SLEEP.

    Squeee! I’m with Nadist – awesome that you are coming to NZ for a visit 😀 Feel like we should be celebrating with cupcakes or something LOL.
    I’m loathing the fact that I’ve been ill with a silly summer fever all week but loving the fact that I feel vaguel human today – hooray! Also loathing the fact that my class schedule for next year hasn’t arrived yet… I’m such a planner, I want to know already!

    I can’t believe you mentioned an avocado and fetta salad. I made one just the other day and had meant to post it, but the pic’s been sitting on the computer for some time. But, oh, joy, now it’s on my blog, and a little nod to you too. Is there room in the caravan for one more? Please say yes … you don’t know me or anything, but I’m sure we’d all get along.

    My apartment here doesn’t have one (or space for one) and here they cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

    I didn’t realise how much I missed it til now…

    Sniff…

    Lux – You loathe bindis? Really? Or Bindi Irwin? Because that’s different.

    Nadist – Yay! You’ll have to give me some advice about places to visit and things to do that are fabulous!

    Scribbles – Oh me too! I hate it when other people get in the way of my uber planning! Are you in NZ over Christmas? You might see me wandering around!

    Na – CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

    Katiecrackernuts – Thanks for the shout out! The salad looked gorgeous!

    May – Thank you! I have since had time to bake and I feel very satisfied.
