Mansion Morning

In a mad fit of Sunday Night Insomnia (I always get restless when it's supposed to be time to rest) I am awake at 2:30 a.m. chatting to a British friend in a normal time zone and thinking about how hideously urgent it is to update my blog.

Earlier this evening I went for the most beautiful drive with gorgeous Jenna, I didn't bring a camera, but she did, and besides: I'm only telling you to show off about the glorious nature of my life. Even on this Sunday.

In reference to these photos, I live in a historical mansion which I care for on a few evenings. My favourite part of the job, strangely enough, is waking up early and unlocking all the doors and gates and warning the ghosts that the living humans will be arriving soon. On this one morning, when the photos were taken, the sun was shining into all the grounds on this spectacular angle and the crispness almost hurt.

I am so honeymooning.

Coming up: Kittens and Lucinda McConnon - The Cute Off.

Home Time, or: Awesome Time

Here are some heart-warming photos of my tiny brother and me. He is actually not so tiny now - he is only three centimetres shorter than me. Haha. But what a difference those three centimetres make. As you can see, I am about three times as intelligent, mature and beautiful as him.

Here is our life: (I say our because I spend all day with him) playing Sims2 (we have a great neighbourhood, named after the Greek island Kykladen), making a Banoffee pie, doing the dishes for Mom and annoying the daylights out of each other. Lukas has a new game surrounding the television show Naruto and is boring me stupid talking about it. I made him listen to a fascinating paragraph in an academic journal about rural development.

Basically: <3 !!!

Watch out for: my cheesy write-up about my flight from Auckland to Dunedin, on which I cried about how beautiful New Zealand is, and an upcoming Blog which will chronicle the exciting lives of Lukas and Lila (me). I bet you cannot wait, judging by how diligent I have been with this blog. Ahem.

Much love! xxx
