I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS SITE..i USED TO BE ABLE TO TYPE IN PINK ETC..BUT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED AND AS A NOVICE NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON.,,,
SO PLEASE BEAR WITH THIS ..
I WAS IN QLD LAST WEEK VISITING MY ELDEST SON WHO HAS GONE TO a JAPANese UNI ON EXCHANGE FOR 6 MONTHS...
I HAVE TO ADMIRE HIM...HE IS STUDYING AT A JAPANESE UNI...DOING ABOUT 6 SUBJECTS..AND HE HAS TO COMPLETE ALL OF THESE SPEAKING FLUENT JAPANESE..
HE IS LIVING WITH A HOST FAMILY...HAS SPOKEN TO ME ON SKYPE...AND SHOWN ME HIS BEDROOM...
LOTS OF BROWN FURNITURE WITH PINK CURTAINS..I JOKINGLY SAID TO HIM TO PAINT THE FURNITURE SHABBY CHIC WHITE!!! OF COURSE HE WAS NOT IMPRESSED!!
BUT IT IS FUNNY..AS HE IS ABOUT 6 FEET TALL..WITH LONG..AUBURN CURLY HAIR.. THE JAPANESE ACTUALLY THINK HE IS SOME ROCK STAR?? ACTOR FROM SOMEWHERE!! VERY FUNNY..BUT I THINK HE LOVES THE ADULATION..
ANYWAY...HAVE BEEN RE DECORATING AS USUAL..BOUGHT SOME GORGEOUS PRINTS FROM GAIL MCCORMACK...THEY ARE GOING INTO MY KITCHEN..what a TALENTED artist is she??
WHILST IN QLD ... WENT TO THE PADDINGTON ANTIQUE MARKETS..BUT HAVE TO SAY I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED...A FEW SHABBY NICE STORES..BUT THE REST WAS QUITE BORING...AND MOST OF THE STORE HOLDERS DIDNT SEEM TO TAKE ANY PRIDE IN THEIR APPEARANCE...I ACTUALLY LIKE TO LOOK AT STALLS NICELY PRESENTED.,,,OR WITH AT LEAST AN EFFORT PUT INTO THEIR DISPLAY...NOT JUST STUFF STUFFED INTO SOME CORNER...
DISPLAY..CARE...MAKES A PERSON FEEL LIKE BUYING..NOT STUFFING AS MUCH JUNK INTO A SPOT...TURNS ME OFF!! so I didnt buy anything...
SOOTY IS STILL HIS JOYFUL FUNNY SELF..AND SPENT A FEW DAYS AT HIS "GRANDPARENTS" WHILST WE WERE IN QLD...
AND THE FUNNY THING IS...MY BOYS ALWAYS WENT TO THEIR "NANNIES" EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT NOW THEY HAVE GROWN UP.,.,.,SOOTY IS THE SUBSTITUTE..,AND THEY LOVE HIM!!
LOOKING OUT ACROSS MELBOURNE..LIGHTENING IS FLASHING...BUT OTHERWISE...JUST LISTING EBAY STUFF..LOVING SITTING AT MY LITTLE TABLE ON MY LAPTOP DOING MY STUFF!
TAKE CARE EVERYONE.XX andrea
