snippets & glimpses

Snippets and glimpses are all you give me, never the full picture, just pieces of you, mismatched, jagged and broken, and so you find in me no more.

“You’ll wake him up taking pictures,” said G. “Nah,” I replied. “Nothing is waking him up.” — #catdoesntcare #sleepycat #burmesecat #catlife

Candy coloured skies — a feast for the eyes. A half moon high, no filter needed for this dying light. — #pinkclouds #pinkcloudsbluesky #pinksunset #fairyflosssky #cottoncandysky #cottoncandyclouds #fairyflossclouds #autumnsky #autumnskies #favouritetimeofyear #besttimeoftheyear #lovethesedays #autumnevening

I cannot remember the last time I read a book within 24hours. But @vlaveauharvie Vicki Laveau-Harvie’s memoir, The Erratics, had me gripped. — Almost 20 years ago, I spent several summers (and one long dark winter) in the foothills of Alberta and I was mesmerised by her depiction of place and experience of family dysfunction. — An incredible story, beautifully written, and completely deserving of both the Finch Memoir and Stella prizes it won. — #theerratics #vickilaveauharvie #finchmemoirprize #stellaprize #memoir #couldnotputitdown #amreading #couldnotstopreading #maybookofthemonth #bookofthemonth #bookstagram #bookcover #bookworm #bookstoread #bookish

Today we took a visit to one of my favourite places — Walhalla — in the Baw Baw ranges. This area suffered some damage during the summer bush fires but is beginning to regenerate. It is difficult to stop life; the survival instinct. Difficult but not impossible. — It’s Mother’s Day today, too. A day that means many different things to different people. Today I am celebrating something a little different to tradition. I am celebrating Mother Earth and all she provides, in the face of human development and devastation. In the face of climate change and the challenges that brings. I am thinking of the things I can do on a daily basis to protect our planet because we don’t have another one. How can I “mother” earth back? — The last picture is our backyard. I love having land. A gap between us and our nearest neighbours. Green space to breathe in. Humans are ill-equipped to survive in the lifestyle we have created. We need the natures. But it is difficult to stop the survival instinct. Difficult, but not impossible. Please look out for those who are finding life hard. There are more out there than we realise. And if you’re having a hard time, especially the mums, please ask for help. We can’t always identify you. Humans have many gifts but mind-reading is (unfortunately) not one of them. — #walhalla #bawbawranges #bawbaw #walhallavictoria #countryvictoria #outinthenature #outinthenatures #bushwalking #bushwalk #bushwalkingvictoria #australianbush #noshameinaskingforhelp #motherearth #motherearthlove #mothersdaytwist #mothersday2019 #notelepathy #notamindreader #noplanetb #nootherplanet #earthisouronlyoption #protecttheplanet

Last night I went to the Mother’s Day Table Styling #metriconmasterclass 😍 We were shown fab styling tips by @tlcinteriors using @saltandpepperhome tableware and @earlysettlerfurniture 💖 We also learned how to make a fabulous floral centrepiece with Carissa from @flowers_by_rhi 💐 It was a fabulous night and my posy, despite my initial misgivings about it when comparing it to Carissa’s, looks fantastic on my table at home 😊 thanks @metriconhomes for a fantastic evening! 💕 — #tablestyling #mothersdaytablestyling #rusticaustralian #rusticaustraliantablestyle #metricon #metriconhomes #metriconstyle #lovewhereyoulive #floralstyling #floralstyle #floralcenterpiece #floralbouquet #protea #proteabouquet #perfectproteas #proteaperfection #flowers🌸 #metricontraralgon #traralgon #traralgonflorist

Morning to night — I can’t get enough of that autumn light. — #nofilterrequired #nofilterhere #nofiltersky #thatlightthough #autumnsky #glorious #gloriousday #favouritetimeofyear #lovethisweather
