Listening: Yo la Tengo's latest Popular songs.The Crayon fields newest All the pleasures of the world, I love the Crayon Fields and this album is lovely. They are so sweet as well, really quite daggy and kick around in old nanna knits from the op shops, but not the "cool" ones, but the almost really ugly type yet somehow still cute.
Also Hidden Hands from Jen Cloher and the Endless sea.
Watching: Lots of football, it's been the month of football, almost every final, The Brownlow-I love how terrible it is, the terrible dresses ( although this year it was a bit more tasteful ) and seeing the player in suits and getting slowly wasted) and the big one.
I have to say I really enjoyed the first season of Eli Stone (is that terrible) and right now I'm watching the Mentalist season 1, which I have to say is really good.
Making: Lots of bears, and again both mohair and amigurumi, including two Peabodys, finally finishing Colin, and a whole bunch of little guys. And also a Lamb for something different- for Mirabel.
Ageing: Yep, lets just say in the next couple of days I will be another year older, 1 year away from the big 30.
Planning: Getting ready for the trip to the US, I leave on Sunday!!
Eating I really enjoying the asparagus this year, as well as my usual toast, noodles, and cupcakes. I've been craving some scones as well, as I think it must be because of the show.
Thanks to Jen for hosting Just a Minute every month. Pop over to her places to see what others have been up to!

I absolutely loved Eli Stone. I was devastated when it was cancelled.
Oooh... cupcakes... Yes I loved both of those shows (espec. Mentalist).
Have a brilliant trip O/S to the US!
oh those duckies are so insanely cute! I've always wanted ducks but I don't think they'd much like my paved yard :(
I love Colin, he is just beautiful and I really must check out Hidden Hands too, I really liked Jen Cloher's last album.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Jess and enjoy your trip to the US!!
