tiny happy

Thanks for entering the giveaway in the last post – so many great dinner ideas shared. If you're wondering what to cook tonight, take a look here. I drew a winner randomly and it was Caren. Will send it off soon, C.

It's been a happy few days here- spring has properly arrived, complete with changeable weather, but the other day it was my birthday and the sun shone and shone. It seemed as though all of Wellington was gleaming.

The photos above were taken recently- Tom and Arlo walking out to the edge of the Petone wharf with birds circling overhead.

And new books on the bedside table, courtesy of generous friends and family: a fresh journal for writings and sketches, the latest Selvedge (can't wait to crack this open), a new edition of The Mijo Tree by Janet Frame, Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald, and a book of Sylvia Plath's drawings. 

If you need me, I'll be sitting in the sun reading.
