Oh, Sarah-Rose

Sunday
In the Backbencher, surrounded by puppets, I watched the All Blacks win the Rugby World Cup.

Monday
The next morning the Fanzone was already being deconstructed.

Tuesday
A very cheerful mural near the Wondapartment. I do not think it constitutes graffiti.

Wednesday
I saw the All Blacks victory parade & Brad Thorn raising the Web Ellis cup.

Thursday
I look out for this little guy every time I walk to work the Wakefield Street way.

Friday
My first ever blood test. Yes, first ever. I have always been remarkably healthy. Even this one was just routine.

Saturday
I bought studded loafers. Indeed I did.

&

Sunday
Graffiti near the wondapartment. Craig & I were headed to the supermarket for dinner. We ended up buying pizza.
Terrible plan.

Monday
Sunlight fingers through the clouds on the walk to work.

Tuesday
The decor in the Eastbourne Women’s Club cracks me up.

Wednesday
My keep cup arrived. I call it Kat.
(it’s because of the turquoise)

Thursday
Headed out to Eastbourne for the last time for a long while.

Friday
A strange strange day. But! There are posters everywhere for John Waters’ one-man show. I’m so excited.

Saturday
Craig and I went out to see the Devil’s Tongue flower. It smells like rotting meat and only flowers once every seven years. I’ve wanted to see one for years now.
I was mildly disappointed. We may have just caught it when the smell was waning (it comes in waves) but it didn’t really smell like anything, save perhaps compost. But I am glad I saw it.

Sunday
Stuck all the way out in Eastbourne for rehearsal. At least the weather put on a show.

Monday
I like catching the architectural features most people miss.

Tuesday
Eastbourne again. This time for sunset.

Wednesday
This dinosaur lives on my computer monitor. He falls down at least four times a week. Half of those times he falls into cold coffee.

Thursday
I bought a new iPhone sticker. And it’s not one based on a photo I took. What is wrong with me?
Nothing. This one is pretty.

Friday
Met my favourite former colleague for a lunch date. The overly attentive waiter bought me a new glass of wine each time mine was down to only 1/3 full. This photo is the panicked result.

Saturday
We managed to squeeze more than 30 people into our teeny tiny flat for a birthday party/flatwarming.
There were a lot of empties on Saturday morning.

&

Oops.

Sunday
Hiking around Wellington delivering letters. In the rain.

Monday
Poor Canada.

Tuesday
A terrible day and a terrible photo.
Sigh.

Wednesday
Today was the day I found out that mystery flowers are amazing for … about an hour.
Then they become very very creepy.

Thursday
I spent the evening playing photographer. So much fun.

Friday
Looking back to the Valley. But only at the odd odd clouds.

Saturday
Birthday cupcake.

&

I turned twenty-SO OLD.

Sunday
I was so excited to finally be living in town.

Monday
My new commute was just beautiful.

Tuesday
Sometimes seals choose the Wellington waterfront to recuperate. This one was adorably sleepy.

Wednesday
The sky is bright neon in the seconds before sunrise.

Thursday
Magazines. I try to like them but I just … do not. They are too pricey for my taste.

Friday
New Zealand’s Navy (yes, all of it) was in town. The sun was out and the city was full of sailors.
Swoon.

Saturday
Lillies at Joe’s Garage – there for a family brunch.

Self portrait: in the sun, slightly hungover.
