I love clothes that are deceiving. These shorts look like a skirt that is just too short, but the little division between the legs make them only just wearable. 

I've been after a camel coloured jumper for a while, and had been looking in chain stores because I wanted one that wouldn't break the bank. It turns out I had been looking in all the wrong places. I found this one at Woolovers, which looks like a site for people in their 50's. It has heaps of different jumpers in a huge range of colours and fabrics. This one is made of lamb's wool and its super comfy. I'm so glad the picture on the site didn't stop me from purchasing it:


Maybe I should buy one for Robert too.

out in the valley

Mahaila will know why the photo of the guy with the undercut is so special. About a year ago Mahaila, Robert and I went to the Swan Valley and did some wine tasting. This guy was a wonderful host. After teasing mahaila and I for our infamous "cackle" laugh (<------- its hereditary), and watching us get more and more drunk from his generous tasting portions, he cracked open a bottle of White Monster - a $60 bottle of wine that wasn't due to be released for another year. It was delicious. A bouquet of rose hip and mixed citrus zest (apparently). 

Yesterday Robert and I went to the same winery and were fed generous portions of wine by the same guy. He poured us a glass of the White Monster, and we were two happy little vegemites. We bought some wine, trespassed onto someone's vineyard (<-------Ssshhhhhhhh) and found a little spot in the long grass where we drank our wine and ate our cheese.
