IT'S IN THE STARS

I've been meaning to get to the Planetarium for a while. I have this romantic idea of a date night lying back staring up into the depths of the universe getting lost in the wonder of what's out there. I went about ten years ago, and yes on a date but i think i was so nervous that i didn't enjoy it.

Until I actually find the time to go, I'm ordering this baby then i can drift off into the milky way every night.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

POOTLING

Who wouldn't like to be pootling along in the sweet sunshine on a little boat right now?  A few friends, a frenchstick and prosecco, slowly making your way through the day. 
 I must admit,  I dont really love big boats, i've had a few bad experiences, but what i do really love is a slow meander, hugging the coast of an island or even better the Cote D' Azur....or even better than that, time travelling back to the 60's to do so...c'mon lets pootle together in the sun... even if only in our minds...

SPRING FEVER

That morning when you wake up and feel Spring in the air is one of the most glorious moments of the year.  You're reminded that you're alive, you get spring in your step and come down hard with spring fever, it's truely wonderful.

Let's celebrate the birth of Spring 2011 with some of Wet & Wendy's favourite Springtime scenarios.

Cut Grass, It is the signature smell of Spring. Did you know that researchers have discovered that a chemical released by a mown lawn makes people feel happy and relaxed, and could prevent mental decline in old age? Read more on that here. 

Picnic! Always best with a few friends, some cheese & wine, your bike parked on a lovely patch of grass and an open Sunbrella. Bliss!

The Great Outdoors! Conversations start leaning towards saturday hikes, park days, beach walks and beer gardens. I cant wait to dust off the fishing rods this year and have a lazy Sunday trying (emphasise the word trying) to catch some fish in little red hotpants and matching heels.

Biking! Get your bike out, turn it upside down, give it a clean and a little love after the Winter, if your like me my bike riding has been on hiatus this Winter.
Make sure it's got a basket on it to carry your picnic and W&W Sunbrella to the park.

Rejuvenation! Whether it be a garden walk, a country drive or staring out your window with a cup of tea, you can't help but notice the blossoming flowers, spring lambs, and an uplifting sense that their  is something wonderful happening!

Colour! Pack away all that black and feel Spring in the Air with a splash of colour. Notice how people always comment on your outfit when your sporting a little colour? Colour changes everything.

CLOUD WATCHING

What a beautiful afternoon it is when the sun is shining and clouds are crossing the sky in little bundles with enough of a breeze to move the clouds along and cool you down at the same time.

This is one of my favourite memories, although I don't remember ever seeing anything really wonderful, I always wanted to see a tiger leaping or a rabbit with big ears, but I didn't. Maybe I will this year, but for now let's see what other lucky people have has the pleasure of seeing cross their way.

SPARROW- THE FILM

This makes me miss Winter already

SPARROW- If you want a dose of exquisite cinematography, a killer musical score and a gritty Chinese crime story. Watch it.
