Some things we do:
1. Close our eyes and think of where in the world we could be right now. And not just any country that haphazardly first comes to mind, you've got to really feel it - and have reasons.
2. Kiss in public places...blissfully unaware (ok, so maybe a little bit aware) of how "inappropriate" it actually is to most people.
3. Wake up and talk in the special language that actually is no language at all that sets the tone for our whole morning.
4. Wear your clothes - both of us.
5. Fight over who pays, lately you win.
6. Silently dream together
7. Lose things - including time. We talk about how annoying it is but secretly, I love that we even share our downfalls.
8. Have your hand tucked under my leg as I drive
9. Crave new things. Places, experiences, knowledge, foods, feelings, locations, objects. New things that can become old, familiar memories one day - memories that have been created together
10. Love

Annie Novak has a green farm on top of the Eagle St building in Brooklyn where cucumbers, bees and basil grow best. She loves where she is for the foodies and a rockin view of the best city on the planet.

SO CUTE!(not food).

This is Tartine Bakery, San Francisco. Liz licks the bowl and recognises toast fried in butter (!!!!! trying that ASAP) as being one of the best smells. Gimme some of that banoffe pie. With that much baked goodness I too would be satisfied with self serve filter coffee, assuming that's what that is at the table?

Rockaway Taco, Rockaway Queens...the subject and location of only my favourite Selby film ever (well, so far, out of the 4(?) that have been made), where the work is hard - but feels so much easier because it's beside the beach. Amen.

Forget Willy Wonker, The Mast Brothers have a chocolate factory AND it's in NYC AND they have hip beards so whatever they're doing has got to be good. They do what they do because it makes people happy..and I think they like sailing...or just made the most of hamming up their last name.

My apologies for bombarding you non-Selby lovers with such a slay of pictures. I love the imperfection, the nonchalance in every shot. I know it doesn't excite everyone the way it excites me but I'm concinved he's not out there to do what pleases people anyway, which is exactly why so many people love it.

Everytime I call it a cossie my Brisbane born lover laughs at me. Everytime he/someone says bathers, togs, trunks, swimsuit et al. I imagine nose turned up and living in the motherland where clearly swimwear is not even relevant. Ew.

Anyways, these are a couple of favourites for summer so far. And when I say favourites let's just establish I mean within the realm that I could actually have some chance of twerkin'. Through time and too many years as a fit-model I've become very good at visualing clothing before it's on the body, which I'm always so grateful when remembering how horrendous shopping can be - ripping jeans off, undoing sandals/laces, bra, messing hair, pulling tops over head, coming way too close to mirrors in the change room and other annoying things like that. I know right, life's tough.

A big UNthankyou to Photobucket and/or Photoshop for wierd image compression.
