this Monday's loves: resin jewellery-making, bright tights on a winter day, meeting lovely people, finding a good book in the library... and cupcakes! Might treat myself to one today, I think.

So today (and apparently for the rest of the week too), the weather has been very cold and very wet! I've had to run some errands today that required lots of walking and waiting around for public transport in the rain. Now I'm not a big fan of being caught in the rain, but instead of being grumpy about it, I found some things NICE about the rain instead...
Things I love about rainy days:
1. Jumping in puddles is fun! Especially when you have bright yellow gumboots! (not worn today unfortunately)
2. It makes for lovely little cinemagram gif subject (this was as I was waiting for one of the many trams in the morning).
3. It makes for a moody black and white photography subject too.
4. Standing silently and hearing nothing but the rain trickle on your umbrella - as I did this afternoon at the train station platform. No one else was nearby (they all chose to stand under the covers! what fun is that?), and it was strangely nice and serene.
5. Seeing the colourful umbrellas people have. I saw a pink polka dot one and one that looked like it was covered in a rainbow of triangle confetti!
6. Coming home and making yourself a cup of hot tea. It tastes 10 times better in this weather! And don't forget the cookies.
7. Watching and listening to the rain from indoors, with the heater turned on.

The button on my coat came off so I sew on a tiny heart button to replace it (yes, that's what that photo is of).
Loving: looking forward to a trip to Sydney next weekend! I've been dying to travel lately, and although it's not exactly a big overseas trip (Europe and NYC still stay on the dream list *sigh*), I'm really excited to get away. I'll be seeing my brother who's living in Sydney now, and check out some festivals - Vivid and Head On Photo Festival, to be exact. Taking photos of pretty lights during the night and gallery hopping during the day seems to be the plan.
If any of you lovely Sydney people have any tips on what I should check out, let me know! I'm only there for a weekend, but hoping I can cram in plenty of things.
camera: LC-A+, film: Agfa 200
loves: a pop of colour. getting a kind surprise. giving a kind surprise. a long dinner conversation with no awkward stops and plenty of tea. a friendly connection.
the week still started off uncomfortably bumpy, but I'm optimistic it will only get better.

loves:
being immersed in a really good movie (especially when you don't expect to be)
fresh flowers from the market
crazy double exposures
success in making chicken pie for the first time! So pleased! I used this easy recipe.
making crafty little things. I like the act of creating things with my hands.
What are your loves lately?

The season is getting colder, and as much as I adore summer, it's good to think of the good bits of winter - inspired by this positive post on Here Comes the Sun.
loves: piles of crunchy autumn leaves, hot tea (2 sugars and milk please), my snuggly knitted snood scarf, and taking black and white photos again (somehow I relate winter with black and white film).
Camera: Diana Mini, film: ?
things to love:
Those moments when you're so terrified and so indecisive of doing something,.. and then do it anyway.
I often need to keep reminding myself that those moments are worth it. Stepping out of your comfort zone is always going to be hard and there's still a lot that I'm far from figuring out, but one baby step is better than staying put.
P.S. there hasn't been many new photos for a while, but I'm getting 3 rolls back tomorrow, and I'm really hoping there's some nice ones in there that I can share. I'm particularly nervous about what's going to come out of the LC-A! I've changed the batteries, but I'm still not sure if that does the trick.

recent loves: brewing rose bud tea in my new tea pot, learnt to hula hoop (badly, but fun!), playing with cinemagram, and chatting to cafe owners who are sweet and remember you even though you hadn't been back in half a year,

Let's bring back Much Love Monday! Feels like it's time to start the new week with some positivity again.
So here's what I'm loving: jam pastries, 4 day weekends, happy surprises in double exposures, and new season of Call the Midwife.
What are you loving this Monday? Comment or put up your own blog post, then leave a link for me to check it out. You can do it today, or next Monday, or any Monday that you like. If you accompany your post with a love heart photo somewhere, that would be extra sweet!
love: Much Love Monday.
I have decided to end Much Love Monday... at least for now. Since starting this series in 2010 (or earlier, just in a different format), I don't think I missed a single Monday where I didn't post a love heart and shared something I love, and I have LOVED seeing how others have participated in it with me. It's just come to a point where doing these posts have gone from being fun to becoming like a repetitive chore, sometimes forced, it's become harder to constantly find that positivity, and it's starting to get boring... and I'm sure some of you think so too as the number of participants have dwindled over time. So basically, it's time for an ending and time for a change.
I've honestly enjoyed doing Much Love Mondays, even on those days when Mondays are sucky (let's face it, it happens, but even bad days have something nice in them if you look hard), and it always makes me ridiculously happy whenever I get a comment or email from a reader saying that my Much Love Monday post is something they are inspired by and look forward to. So I encourage any of you who wish to continue YOUR Much Love Monday posts to please to do so. I'm not putting it to a complete end. I will likely still post a Much Love Monday every now and then. I won't make any promises on how often, and it might not be in this exact format, but it will simply be when I feel like it.
Thank you to everyone who has brightened my Mondays with your posts too. xx
Anyway, that being said... what are you loving? :)

love: trying out new snacks (preferably something with chocolate in it!), playing Draw Something on my phone, rereading old Frankie and Uppercase magazines, finding spare cash at the bottom of my purse.
