Here are some wonderful things from a wonderful week...
Getting my reading mojo back: All of a sudden, out of nowhere, it's like I want to devour all the books I can get my hands on. I've had orders coming through thick and fast from the library and I'm so excited to feel inspired once more! My most recent read was Jasper Jones and it was absolutely faultless. I'm kicking myself that I hadn't read it sooner. The reading experience was extra special, too, because the story takes place in Western Australia, where I live. It is always so wonderful to know there's such amazing Australian literary talent, I just need to actively seek them out. I'm hoping to write a more thorough review soon, so watch this space.
Attending a zine launch by local poet: The event took place in the upstairs area of a small record shop. Alongside a photography exhibit, a live band, complimentary candy floss that tasted like cinnamon donuts and zines on sale for $5, it was a lovely way to spend a Friday evening.
Much needed catch ups with friends: Whenever I get together with my friends, I always walk away realising the world of good time with them can do. Everything seems to be moving so fast these days and when we finally do get a chance to all catch up, so much has changed! It's exciting watching them all grow and flourish.
Volunteering at the Alliance Francaise: The launch of my favourite annual film festival is tonight and the lead up has been quite exciting. As I finished studying French last year, I've become noticeably rusty, so being surrounded by fluent speakers is inspiring me to get back into it and find ways to complete daily language exercises.
Wet and windy days: I feel like I mention the weather in every Wonderful Wednesday post, but it does have a significant impact on my mood! This past week, I have been absolutely loving the cooler weather after a long run of high 30s. I recently acquired a special package of flaked chocolate perfect for hot chocolate, so I can justify snuggling on the couch with a decadent drink on cold evenings...
