If a Summer night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.
Ahhh smell that? That is the sweet scent of Summer around the corner. Melbourne is warming up! Torquay is as balmy and seductive as ever and the water is warming up! Which means time to get out the surfboard (I just can’t surf in 14 degree water, no matter how good the waves may be), and embrace all the awesomeness of the surf coast. I love when surf brands release their summer ranges. Not just because I love the clothes, but Roxy, Billabong and Rip Curl etc, embrace colour, texture and a spirit of fun in their designs. Below is a sample of some of Billabong’s new stuff. Liking it lots!
I’ve also recently become a vegetarian. This is a very new and exciting time for me. I love, love, LOVE to cook, and having eaten meat for the last 24 years, giving it up isn’t the easiest thing. Not so much that I miss it, it is more about replacing it, and finding new ways to fill myself . I will still eat fish, which is technically cheating, but a Vegan diet just doesn’t seem like any fun. So I shall post some exciting new things that I try along the way. So far so good. I actually feel better than I ever had, I have more energy for my training . I plan on resuming Personal Training with new clients next year, so I’m loving getting back into my fitness. With the help of my vego mates, Suz, Ed and Jac, I’m sure I will have no problem embracing new recipes 
I’m really amped to get back into painting. So much so, I’ve cleared out the shed and shall be setting it up as a studio for summer. Tad excited. I don’t get a lot of chances to be hands on with work, it’s all about computers these days. I will definitely post about works in progress. I finished my surfboard last year. I get so many comments on it. I’d love to paint them and sell them, but it’s time consuming.
So for now, enjoy some inspiration I have found lately. Summer is just around the corner! Woo!
