I'm a sporadic organisational psychology phd student, full time day dreamer of alternative careers: cafe/bookshop/day spa lifestyle village empire entrepreneur; artist; travel writer; domestic goddess; property developer; fashion designer; retiree; organic farm/bed n breakkie; wife to billionaire heir; buddhist nun. when i'm not entertaining the above in my head, i'm busy navigating through life battling with myself to find eternal happiness armed with a skinny hazelnut flatwhite in my hand, twinkle of passion in my eyes, love in my heart and a barrage of great friends n family by my side.

O' sweet fruit of my labour


At last!!! One is ripe for the picking.. it’s so pretty and so perfect..
Damn tis hard work growing tomatoes..

Considering.. so far..
3 X tomato plants = $10
Premium Potting mix = $12
2 X pots = $30
Wheels for the pots = $15
Decorative stone mulch = $3

Seeing one’s own love and labour coming to fruition = Joy
Realisation that one should leave the tomato planting to the experts = PRICELESS..

Considering I’ve only yielded a single fruit.. So it’s currently standing at $70 per tomato.. may be the 3 bucks I pay for a tub of cherry tomatoes can be justified.. may be woollies isn't trying to rip me off.. may be i should speak to a therapist abt this paranoia...

Sigh…
