Nature At Home

One of our strawberries on Monday, starting to go red. There was much excitement.



Trying to document my pretty amazing stance for taking product photos. I basically try and not fall on things while also trying to have my feet far enough apart that they aren't in the photo but trying to get my face and therefore camera directly over the top of the thing I'm photographing. Professional. Also notice the super fancy boots, they're important for a good photo.



This dude is the fanciest grasshopper I've seen in real life. I think when I was little grasshoppers were all over green and these days all the ones in our garden are dead grass colour but this guy had a red bum and a stripey side. I liked him (or her?)



Wednesday redness. Even more excitement. There are 2 strawberries on our plant that look like we'll definitely be able to eat them at some point, the last photo is the same strawberry as the first photo. Two days more red.

Things this week:
The weeks are flying by at the moment without me even realising.
We spent a day at the farm sorting out the last of Will's things there even though he moved out over 6 years ago. Our house now has significantly more Star Wars spaceships in it (see background of poppy pods).
Amongst other things I read Relish by Lucy Knisley this week. Loved it.

Butterfly

Will found this beauty on his run the other day.
We're not quite sure how to go about keeping it but it'd be a shame not to keep at least the wings somehow.

I Had A Birthday.

Over the weekend I turned 26. I didn't do anything in particular, I just gave myself a wonderfully relaxing 4 day weekend off from any work, mum and dad came to visit for a couple of days and we wandered around, ate tasty things and I spent some quality time reading and being Mario on my new N64.



Will's gift to me was a portrait of us. It's so weird. I love it. I wish there was evidence of the noise I made when I opened it.



Will's pretty pleased with himself.



We (Will, mum, dad and me) spent pretty much all of Saturday (my actual birthday) wandering around the city and ended up trying to find all the gorillas. We didn't find them all but it got us wandering to bits of the city we probably wouldn't have otherwise, which was pretty cool.



My tasty tasty lunch.



We found fish in the river and Will apparently lost where the camera was.




Self portrait in a gorilla.



This looks like a lovely 'looking in the river' photo but he's actually washing dog shit off his boot. I document these things.



And obviously there was cake and presents. Look how lucky I am. I got so many good things and I'm currently occupying myself with absorbing as much of them as quickly as possible. Getting back to doing work is hard when there is so much new stuff to distract me...

Things this week:
This week was mostly thinking about my birthday then having my birthday.
But there was this webcomic that had me giggling. I especially like The Half-Frog. He likes to drink fancy.
