lately...

enjoying an occasional evening of exercise at cottesloe or leighton beach.

then sitting in the breeze (and/or gusting wind) watching the kite surfers as the sun goes down.

it's the best relax at the end of what have been very long days lately.

getting lost in time in second hand book stores.

i did emerge with a 17 dollar, 1950's copy of little women, amongst others.

it was my favourite book growing up.

(incidentally a first edition of the book published in 1868 goes for a rather pricey sum of around 22 thousand online.)

coming home to sweet little notes on my blackboard.

this gem is from aimee.
