1. Leisa 2. Cadbury Chocolate 3. Hornsby Girls 4. Green 5. Rodrigo Santoro 6. Moet 7. Tahiti 8. Connoisseur Cafe Grande Ice Cream 9. Happy 10. Dan 11. I asked D about this one... He said cutie, but there were only crappy photos of cats. I said i'd prefer he said sexy but there still wasn't anything any good, just asian women with big boobs... So then he said pretty, and I created the mosaic and it came up blank... I chose a different image and it still came up blank so i guess it says something strong about me.... 12. Bold as Love (Thanks to Hendrix. I was very close to putting the album cover as the image..)

Show us your favorite celebrity chef.

beautiful food

D has himself a brand spanking new car, and is very excited. Its very shiny and new, and has awesome features, like dusk sensing headlights, rain sensing wipers, a key that you simply need to have in your pocket to unlock and drive the car, bluetooth connection to your phone, so you just need to tell it to "call ____" and it will... its very awesome! Its a Mitsubishi Lancer in case you were wondering...
 

new car!

I've decided that I want to make my balcony into an edible garden in which we would actually want to spend time. Right now I used it only as a place to hang out washing, and occasionally BBQ. The only plant we have is a lime tree, which frequently gets covered in scale bugs, brought by the ants...
The balcony gets full sun between sunrise and about 10/11, depending on the season. Then it is plunged into shadow for the rest of the day...
We have had plants on our balcony before, but they have all died. However this time its going to be different. This time I'm going to try.

So here is my plan:
Find plants which will survive the conditions on my balcony, and create a nice place where D and I would like to have dinner, instead of in front of the tv every night. Since he is about to get a car, and we therefore will not be able to buy a house for the next couple of years (unless the interest rates/house prices go down), I want to try and make this work, and i'm itching to garden, any way I can.

I was thinking of finding a way to create a little bit of privacy. Even though we are on the top floor, and no one directly looks over on us, I still think it would be nice to be a little bit more hidden, which could possibly mean plants could survive a little better.

I also want to grow plants that we can then use in cooking. So ideas right now include:

• Bay Tree (Thanks RachJ on my question post)
• Chilis (Thanks Amy Jeynes on my I'm iching to start a veggie garden post)
• Herbs (Rosemary, Sage, Oregano, Thyme. Maybe even Basil, Parsley, Coriander and Mint)
• Veges (Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Spring Onions, Peas, Beans)
  
• Flowers (Marigold, Nasturtiums, Lavender)

I was thinking of having some sort of lattice/support that offers a little bit of privacy and allows the plants to go up it...

Also I found a cool company that sells terracotta paint, so the pots aren't all that boring terracotta colour, which might be cool.

I also need to get a new outdoor table and chairs, because the ones we have are old and you can see it. I wouldn't mind getting some old wooden furniture and sanding it back and painting it too, if I have the energy...

Does anyone have any other good ideas on what would work well on a balcony?

we were watching a live set from angus and julia stone last night, and d casually dropped that they come into his cafe sometimes... how cool is that! maybe he's just becoming too familiar with celebrities and names coming into the cafe, and therefore didn't think to tell me, but i was excited.
Anyway, this is my favourite song of theirs... i remember hearing it about 2 years ago on fbi (radio station) but they are now starting to get more recognition...

I'm not at work today cos i'm still sick (big chesty cough, fever and exhausted) but we still went to the shops to get food, (and had to drop by jb hi fi while we were there)... we ended up with:

Death Note (The Live Action Movie) DVD

Death Note - we have been watching the animated series on ABC2 on monday nights, however when we looked at the dvds there were too many to collect, so we decided to watch the live action movies - the box set we bought has both movies on it, so I can't wait to watch it.

Friends Season 1, 2 and 4 - I already own season 3 (i think its my favourite season) but i keep missing the other season on tv because i don't get home by 6 when the reruns are playing, so i thought i'd boost my collection while they are cheap at jb... love friends, especially the old episodes...
