Hello

Five Senses Friday – via Abbytryagain

April 4, 2009

Five Senses Friday : An extremely lovely regular meme via the extremely lovely Abbytryagain!

(I’m sure it’s Friday somewhere right now!)

Taste:
Poh pia (like the Malaysian version of rice paper rolls) from here
Avocado on Multigrain Toast from here
Rhubarb, Earl Grey and Vanilla Jam (recipe here)
Mushroom and Vegetable dumplings after our book launch from here
Chai in these cups upstairs in our lounge-retreat

Sight:
Looking out to a sea of people here
Still looking at my Birthday shoes! (Cam gave me the Mustard ones!)
Walking into bookshops and spying our book playing nicely with the other books!
In my mind’s eye, a collective view from the car window here
Floppy, tiny seedlings still soaked from yesterday’s huge storm

Touch:
Smooth, freshly cut and blow dried hair
The curly lines of this 40th gift from the boy
Warm, sweet scented laundry from the dryer
The crisp, new pages of this book


via

Hear:
Radio National when I’m dozing off to sleep at night
Ari “I find this world very confusing, Mum.”
Most things released by the Six Degrees Label – like Alice Russell (below with TM Juke)

Smell:
Coffee brewing
Chocolate Chip Cookies baking

    {great meme, hey? Love how writing it makes me stop and think about what is actually happening around me}

    Lovely mugs! and how nice to have an upstairs retreat 🙂

    I do hope you have great and relaxing weekend, and congrats on the book launch – it looks very good.
