Hocus Pocus

I love this sign… it’s exactly the type of sign I would have loved to have created for this business. There’s something old-school and magical about it that’s just right.

Double Rainbow

In Chinese culture, a double rainbow is considered auspicious and a reason for reflection and meditation. This was the view from my back door on Saturday. It must be a sign!

And here we are a few hours later in the throes of reunion dinner. Huat ah!

Two posts today. Here we are relaxing at home in Tiong Bahru on Saturday afternoon.

The friendly face of dragons. Nothing to fear here.

The Rabbit has been a bit of a bouncy year for me, not necessarily in a bad way because the core things in my life – the things that are really, truly important – are fabulous. I’m a 64 dragon and here we are at a new dragon year though, so I’m excited to see what it brings. I have a great feeling about it.

For my friends, my loved ones, you if you’ve just dropped by and we don’t know each other very well yet, and everyone who makes life so interesting and wonderful… Gong Xi Fa Cai… warm wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Seeds and Nuts

Its Lunar New Year eve tonight, and all the cooking might be done but there’ll be a lot of visiting tomorrow. Discovering you’re out of guest-nibbles wouldn’t be auspicious at all, so best to stock up.

We’re transiting from a Rabbit year to a Dragon year on Monday and there’s shopping to be done.

Woolstores

The old Woolstores building in Fremantle is the subject of some legal dispute at the moment. Heritage or not worth saving? Trendy inner-city lofts or not?

Not sure how it will turn out, but my sister Siobhain did (rightly) point out that it gets pretty smelly down there when the sheep ships are in, so that and the fact that it overlooks a train line don’t bode well for upmarket luxury.

Great spot though.
