Photo a day for January 2010 - week 1

So I planned on taking 1 photo every day for a year. As you can see from my timeline for January, not a bad start for the year with . Next time I think I'll publish these weekly - a month is a LOT to digest and reflect on.

This picture hangs in our bedroom. It is of a cafe street in Melbourne. The guy paints with a palette knife and trowel and can be found in the Victoria Markets in Melbourne.
TheHusband's crazy hair. This is him at our traditional family friends laksa night, looking a little worse for wear as we were halfway through CRAZYSEASON at work.
This is the pot of joy that greats us at our front door. Pigs face and little houses. Makes me very happy to see!
I try to regularly tip my bag out as it's a huge hobo bag from Etsy that Kate gifted me last year, and things tend to accumulate in it. In this case it wasn't too bad - mobile, keys, wallet, sunglasses, pen, Emergency flower essence, two lipbalms and a lip stain, business cards, some change, a hair clip and my pregnancy details (the orange book). I really want her Scooter Bag as well as the Hobo that I have is actually a little too deep for my arms and will graduate to a baby bag when Puggles arrives.
Jon invited a few of us over for dessert and this was his amazing preparation!

5/7 for the first week. Enjoy.

The colour blue

For some reason, I strongly dislike the colour blue. I own a lot of red, orange and yellow and 1 blue shirt. It's a cornflower blue though. I don't like navy, or many other shades of blue. I feel like I disappear in it. Perhaps because I wore it as a school uniform, or because it's how my eyes/brain perceive colour.

Kate has the same thing about orange. I like blue on other people. I have blue eyes and in fact blue really suits me. But I hate wearing it and in particular don't wear light denim.

I am coming around to some blue - I have a maternity dress that is navy bordering on black, so that's as close as it gets at the moment. And I'm wearing more purple which is the other side of blue I guess.

I love blue precious stones - Ceylon sapphires and aquamarines. I love a rich sapphire colour. But wouldn't wear it in a pink fit.
