Lady loves and loathes…

Sorry guys but today’s post doesn’t seem to want a picture. Clearly my blog is having some attachment issues. Consider this a loathe.

Lady loves…

* Coming home to Melbourne to a vase of gorgeous lilies from Roomy Smaggle, a hand made ticket to her nieces and nephew’s theatre show for which I get a private viewing and a very inappropriate book from my friend Kai. I love welcome home gifts.

* Monday nights spent swimming and gossiping in the sauna followed by red wine and many episodes of 30 Rock.

* My new black sparkly nail polish which ironically looks quite matte. Lovin’ it.

* Australia Day Boulle Championships in the park with my mates followed by a visit to the arcade with too many games of Dance Dance Revolution Extreme and then wine and board games until the wee small hours.

* The weather! Below 20 degrees is just perfect for me!

* Making plans to do a boot camp with Roomy Smaggle. We are about to be so buff. Stay tuned.

* Making perfect decadent cupcakes from scratch. My auntie owns the Primrose Bakery in London and released a book which Mamma Smaggle bought for me for Christmas. Yesterday I made banana and chocolate mini cupcakes with chocolate buttercream icing and crumbled walnuts. They were pretty spectacular.

* Living in the same house as my tea collection. Rubarb and ginger, how I have missed you.

* Limes.

* Getting organised – paying bills, booking flights – I get off on completing tasks like that and filing them away. Oh yeah.

Lady Loathes…

* Driving to the wrong campus to enrol at school today. Dumb arse.

* The beginning of the year. I just want to be in the middle of it. I hate the slow dawdle start to the year.

* Doing naughty things after having had a few drinks and not quite remembering how it actually happened… It wasn’t terrible. I just got told a secret (a nice one!) and kind of ended up discussing it with the one person I wasn’t supposed to… I’m still confused as to how it all happened. I need a muzzle when I drink champagne thats all I can I say!

What about you poo pie? Anything to share?

Love Lady Smaggle

Loathin – the friggin heat! I know it’s summer, I know we are in very northern NSW, but enough already! I am sick of being covered in sweat. All day. Blergh

Hey pretty lady,

Loves = going to core fitness classes and my new slouchy grey suede boots

Loaths = being permanently hungry and the fact that my brolly broke and I haven’t managed to get into town to get a new one.

I always mean to comment on your blog – I love how you write. I should comment more often x

Kate – the weather is delicious in Melbourne. I’m wearing a jumper!

Magatha – you just totally made my day by commenting and saying ‘brolly’! So awesome.

Loves:
Waking up before my alarm.
Stopping for Dunkin’ Donuts coffee before I head to the office [and knowing that I created a line item in my budget for it, because I love it so much].
My puppy.
Leftovers for lunch
This blog!!

Loathes:
Social anxiety.
Waiting on other people.
The terrible weather [I don't love the freezing, I can't handle it at all :-p ].

Loves:
People accepting my invitation for my 40th birthday party!
My husband gettting home today after a business trip.
Roger Federer and Jo Tsonga. And also Nadal. I’m addicted.

Loathes:
The humidity in Sydney…

I’m hopeless with secrets after a couple of glasses of wine. I beg people not to tell me any!

Loves:
You!
Waking up to fresh coffee and a cat standing on my head. Just the cat is standing on my head, I mean, not the coffee as well.
Packages from Amazon arriving in the mail
Boozy dinners out at cosy Italian restaurants with red checked tablecloths and runny candles in old wine bottles.

Loathes:
Holding babies. I don’t know how to hold them. And I make them cry.
Pseudo-dietary requirements that are actually just preferences. If it’s an actual allergy or intolerance, that’s totally fine. If it is one that you have made up to avoid carbs or a food you don’t like, it makes dinner parties really difficult. I am not very tolerant.
Being called ‘lucky’ (unless I have won the lottery. Have I won the lottery? I would like to win the lottery).
