  • Dreams of planes on boats and then some

    So I have very frequent vivid dreams,and last night I had one too! I used to blog about all my epic dreams, but stopped after I realised how time consuming it was. But everyone asks if I have a dream diary, and I said no. So I will try and maintain one this year. That being said, I don’t really get superpower/save the world dreams anymore, so that saddens me a little. Those were the best! Anyways…

    First one I remember for 2017 happened last night, here it is:

    It started with me on board a large plane bound for overseas, not sure where, possibly Asia or America. At a guess it would have been a 2/4/2 seating arrangement since my brother was sitting next to me (but I don’t recall there being another seat or person next to him). As we were being taxied, I noticed that the plane was actually on a very large boat – especially as I could see the sea around us. I would describe the boat as a naval kind of boat – very bland looking as it had to have enough room to include a plane and a runway. However, if I looked up, there were so many excited people looking out from windows, as if the boat was actually a cruise liner. They were all watching and cheering at this plane I was on.

  • Goodbye, 2016

    I’ve actually had this sitting as a draft since January. At the time, it was titled “A year in review” for 2015. But I never ended up completing it. However, I’ve had two amazing years in a row and some of the most enjoyable moments of 2016 were offline in my newly acquired hobby. So I figured I may as well put this all somewhere so I get to look back on it one day. So here it is starting off with last year’s stuff.

  • Dear Diary

    Dear Diary,

    I attended a real ball the other day in an old style building. Everyone was dressed up really pretty in floor length gowns and suits and bow ties.

    It was a lot of fun and I even got to dance a lovely Viennese waltz with my instructor!

    I was so happy!

    Until next time,

    Reine

  • A book that became a movie that became “real life”

    It seems now I have limited time to post things, yay! I still have to post about Melbourne because out of the three trips I’ve made, I haven’t posted a single one yet! Aaah! But that means going through pictures, editing/cropping, etc, which is such a pain.

    So instead, I’ll post about other things that I don’t document nearly as frequently as I should – and that’s my dreams. Had a great one last night if I can remember all the details.

    It started off with me being me, trying to read a book (since I haven’t read books in ages!), and I realised just how out of practise I was because reading took a lot of effort (which is true in real life). Instead, I decided it was probably worthwhile watching a movie version of my book.

  • Eat Drink Perth

    I think my blogging will slow down over the next few months, we’ll see! I have become somewhat permanently poor so I haven’t been going to as many cafes lately.

    Still, Eat Drink Perth happened as part of Good Food Month, which happens here in April instead of October (my Sydneysiderer strikes again!). I found out because one of the cafes I follow (rocks 2 Slayers but only open Monday – Friday) was running some coffee events during this time – how could I not say no!

    Fancy a Filter?

  • Wildflower Perth

    I was very excited when I heard that Wildflower was opening because it seemed like my kind of restaurant. However, I ended up putting off visiting, mainly because I am constantly trying to save money these days, plus my recent Sydney adventure took priority.

    Of course, me being me, decided to spontaneously book a table one day.

  • Sydney photography

    Now that I have two lenses, I take them everywhere. So here are some shots where I happened to be carrying my 60mm.

  • Margaret River

    Finally, an eventful Christmas! I got the opportunity to head down to the south of Perth and into the famed Margaret River region. Being about a 3 hour drive, the weather was significantly cooler which is why it’s a great fresh produce area.

    Along the way, there lies the southern hemisphere’s longest wooden jetty – Busselton Jetty. It’s about 2k long with a train track running all along it. All along the jetty there are heaps of people fishing – we saw whiting and squid being caught. Squid make weird noises when they’re dying upon the jetty….

    The place where I stayed had some lovely sunflowers, as well as a tea house and restaurant/winery attached. So very nice!
