on tour

 It was an early one today. My alarm went off at 430. Snooze brain was hitting hard. I gained consciousness by 445 am and set off. I drove thru heavy fog. I drove thru speed cameras. I nearly drove thru a forklift carrying bulk loads on spring onions. 

AND just so you can stay in bed, ill take you on a virtual tour. More here

jonnies

I start hyperventilating when these characters are in town. 

A combination of beside my self excitement and an extreme case of whiffa sniffering, erlicheer jonquils send me into a state of discombobulation. Like, for real / four wheel.

Imagine life not thru rose tinted glasses but orchid printed glasses... PUT THESE ON

it would look like this!

say cheese

I have no idea what this guy is doing. I asked him to smile and this is what he gave me. 

I think he thinks he looks good. I think he looks good. 

If he weren't selling flowers at the flower markets I think he would make an excellent jeans model. 

colour me canary

I want a bird. Not just any bird, I want a canary, dont get confused with the common budgie. A canary. Maybe a blue one or a yellow one.  I have even bought the bird a home.   AND I DECORATED IT! SEE!

I told my dad, he said maybe just get a fake one for now. And I thought that was weird. And then I thought something weirder. My mum used to keep pretend birds in a wooden cage hanging off a tree in our loungeroom. You know what else is weird? THIS GUY

LIVE FROM BALI

I WISH! I bring you - The Cowboy Geisha reporting to you direct from bali. Ah Ma GAAAHD! You lucky ducks, this is like a holiday but better!! No delayed flights, no volcanic ash, 

no storing your tray tables upright. ALRIGHT!

Today i found the best spot in bali to buy flowers....the place is so rad, you would actually want to move in there. (ill go in there another day and take heaps of photos of it for you) i got really excited cause my house has been so empty as i haven't been able to afford furniture, but my friend lent me a table this week, so for the first time since being here, i had an actual surface to put a vase with flowers on!

these flowers are so cool they look like they have been carved from wax!

they made me so happy i had to dress up and take photos to show you.

then i had a red bull and my excitement turned to complete flower drum enthusiasm!!!!

these photos (of me) are in my bali garden (which is so fucking fantastic... you would just want to merge right into it). The shot of me with a bun is because I got so flustered from happiness I had to get my hair off my neck, then i picked up the dropped frangipani's from the floor and stuck them in my head. Usually the old 'frang in hair' in Bali is teamed back with braids and a bintang singlet, but because these were from my own special garden (and because I'm not badly sunburnt with a bintang in my hand) i actually was keen on wearing them... this is my love post dedication to how much I effing miss you two tulip heads..and to show you how much you need to come and visit me as field research for your flower filled brain. HI HOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                

 

PICK ME UP FROM THE AIRPORT IN YOUR JIP JIP TOOT TOOT RIGHT NOW!

i love creedence clearwater revival

This could very well be the last outdoorsy installationy type activity I involve myself in for the next little while. Im talking on Mylees behalf too. You see it is absolute vodka freezing. I just want to cover my self in socks and polar bears. Im too tall to dress like an eskimo so, I want to fashion a little flower tool belt that has room for a hair dryer, so when I feel a chill I can just whip out the VS Sassoon and blow dry my legs warm. Anywhiz Fiz, I have this great new thing on my iphone called Instagr.am. And thats how I took this photo. So if you too have Instagr.am, look me up and you can see all the COOL stuff happening instantly. If you don't have instagr.am please can you knit me a nice cosy jumper. theflowerdrum

perforating stinkers

the only caffeine re-fueler between my house and the market that is open when even dawn isnt up, is right by my place. mylee and i meet there before the markets. one particular morning, we were on the way out to market, all hopped up croissants, spinach and feta rolls and scones and coffee (its a long drive ok?!)  and discussing in great detail our affection for freesias. You see, when they force grow freesias they dont like it. They trick you because - they look like freesias, they sound like freesias, but they dont smell like freesias. they smell like nothing! 

Mylee came to the conclusion that the reason you buy freesias is because you want them to "perforate" your home.  I  looked at her and said yeah you want the flowers to fill your house with heaps of tiny holes?  case number 2 of the snoozebrain strikes. 

 here they are... perforating
