same same but different.

I recently stumbled upon this idea and was reminded of it again when i saw it in the weekend herald magazine last weekend. what better to way to express ones nostalgia, show change or lack there of, over time.

i would love to attempt to re-create my own scenes at some point.

five weeks.

i'm really hanging out for some summer sun.

i'll be just in time to catch the end of the european summer.

but i still have so much to organise...

postcards from lake taupo

a weekend jaunt to lake taupo, and this is what i saw:

1. lakeside bliss

2. the plug

3. warmth amongst the chill

4. keep taupo beautiful

5. there's gold in them hills

wall bed.

i'd always wanted to sleep on a bed that comes out of the wall.

and i've just done it. for two nights.

surprisingly comfortable.

don't knock it till you've tried it.

stars & stripes.

independence day.

the day musical legend barry white passed away in 2003

to me, it's the perfect excuse to eat like an american. mini hot dogs. yum.

edamame.

my new favourite food.

salty goodness.

and great because they're both nutritious and delicious.

did you know that edamame beans (also know as soy beans) are a wonder food?

if you were to eat 1/2 - 1 cup a day, you would boost your fibre, protein and vitamin/mineral intake - awesome!
