today
i woke up
THIRTY years old

[ and time keeps getting faster ]

i’ve decided this is the stage of my life in which i am going to try and rock the ‘Norwegian fisherman’ look

i am a gardener
woah yeah!

it’s lunchtime and i have dirty and dry hands
[ about to be washed… fret thee not ]

i love my job
[ not such a big fan of my salary haha but that’s the price you pay to do what you enjoy, right? ]

i turn thirty next week.
uh oh….

so, lately i have become obsessed with running

I’ve done three half marathons…
Early 2012 - 1hr46
Late 2012 - 1hr35
2013 - 1hr30

aaaaannnd secretly, I’ve begun tentatively training for a marathon in November
but before that, next month, I’ll do another half
and I hope to break 1hr30

BOOM.

running is so fuckin’ good for you!

sunrise in Wellington this morning
[ about 5mins after this was taken, it poured down ]

strange light outside
yellow hues like pre-thunderstorm calm

got home from work,
showered
and now am studying from the comfort of my bed

and
despite my wash
i
still
smell
like sulphur from dusting tulip bulbs
stinky me

ahhhh the life of a gardener

so i played on national radio a few weeks ago
a few people heard it
one of those people… some kind soul offered to record me for free
that’s where i’ve been this weekend

HOW COOL IS THIS STUDIO?!?
it’s surrounded by books
and old instruments
and a sleepy dopey cat

so…
in two days
nine songs recorded
one song as a full-band-radio-friendly-bluesy-pop-fest

feeling tired but pleased
got a gig on wednesday

bring. it. on.
