Almonds.  Although, i think i just ate one too many i still feel like more! and i don’t feel sick or headachey (symptoms of eating lots of my other treaty foods…) i actually feel good. Energized some might say! What i good idea almonds are!

Tee’s worn with just knickers – big tee’s with frilly knickers, small tee’s with big knickers, plain tee’s with stripey knickers! i love it. Of corse this idea is only for around the home area but i think it’s super cute and have decided it’s gonna work for summer AND winter this year as i am offically investing in a big pair of chunky woolen socks to complete the outfit!!

Baths … ah, do i have to say anymore??? they are the most amazing thing – especially as the weather is making a change … I’m am finding myself having a bath at least once a week and would like to bump that up to twice as i enjoy them SO much.

Lists – as per ush, i cannot get enough of lists. I write lists of what i have to do today (personal AND work), what i have to do tomorrow and in the weekend, what i am needing to buy in my life / spend my pay on (boyfriends bday presents, supermarket shopping, chemist stops, wooley socks etc etc etc) plus other money matters, i write lists on ideas that spring into my mind, what i want/need to do in the future, i even write lists on what i should write lists about! it’s just a habit now and i don’t know if it’s unhealthy – but i feel increbibly uneasy if i havn’t jotted one of my usual lists down. Therefore, I am always armed with a pen and i scrap piece of paper.                                                            Hah, i just realised this post is a list. Silly Billy.

Moving on to more important things – My nephew. He is the most charming boy in the whole world and i want to spoil him and hang out with him all the time! He is absolutly gorgeous and i don’t even want to comprehend the love and care you have for your own kids if i am loving and caring for this little guy as much as i do and he’s isn’t even my baby! He is super precious. xx

there you have it – this weeks likes/loves by Franny … Bye

P.S. i’m thinking of starting to introduce myself as Franny, it’s way cuter that Fran and alot less confusing / complex than Francesca … hmmmm. i’ll have to sleep on that one.

last weekend Max and I went to Melbourne for a day …(Max’s shout for my most recent bday!!)

We stayed at a place called The Nunnery on Nicholson St, Brunswick. A perfect spot for us! I would highly recommend to any visitors!

We arrived at 10.30pm, Friday evening – off loaded our bags and hit the streets of Melbourne …

 Saturday day was HOT and alot of walking and fun! Max bought a pair of jeans from NOBODY and i got 4 postcards at an art gallery … we sampled the yummiest icecream in the world and had average sushi for lunch. 

 Saturday night was very cool – we dinned at a incredibly busy and dimmly lit restaurant/bar called Cookie … yummy Thai fusion food and good wine! After dinner we walked up 7 flights of stairs to get to a roof top bar called “TOFF” (i think??) this was alot fun but pretty chill … for the rest of the night we sat on the streets people watching … one of my favourite pastimes … got home about 2am (melbourne time) and watched some Mighty Boosh!

 It was a very fun / short trip and has left me wanting more! I’ve decided i need to get out of Auckland for at least a year sometime soon … Visiting different cities always makes me feel like i’m missing out – which i think i am!

Quote for the day – “The world is yours for the taking; whatever you make of it.” epic. hah

i love hearts

they have always been my favourite shape (i realise it is slightly unnessasery to have a favourite shape…) ever since i was small i have drawn hearts – i like what they stand for, how you can colour them absolutely any colour, that you can draw them to create different moods, that you can make them 3D (paper mache, duh!) ah, eeeeverything about them!

i wanna get a tattoo of a heart!!

yeeps!! heart pizza!! yum!!

Had a pretty fun night Tuesday just been – went to Mickey Avalon’s gig at the Kings Arms (Re: photo #2) and got a little bit loose (not too crazy of corse!!) got home anout 2am – not bad – if only i didn’t have work at eight the next day! waaa … this short sleep and usage of HEAPS of energy contributed to not only a hung over Wednesday but also a very painful head cold Thursday and Friday … no more partying on school nights for me !!! Focus Focus Focus!!

The crayfish i thought was just cute and cool colours have been used – and it reminds me of me lovely Poppa  who passed away a couple of years ago. He was a crayfisherman for as long as i can remember and was very good at it too i believe!

-_- he was a very amazing man and i alaways had a soft spot for his slighty inappropriate jokes, harmonica playing and excessive smoking …
