I am on a little break.
And I had hoped to keep updating Like The World with posts.
But at the moment the only pics I can upload are off my phone and I,m not happy with the quality. And I don,t want this blog to be about ordinary photos.
So I am going to give this blog a rest- and then bombard you with pics in about a month.
Au revoir till then, mes cheries.
If you,re looking for me, I,ll be here.
Simply divine.

English Lyrics by Albert Beach
Here is a heavenly version by Stacey Kent.
A Translation. Just beautiful!
Goodbye, No use leading with our chins,
This is where our story ends,
Never lovers, ever friends.
Goodbye, Let our hearts call it a day,
But before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say:
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring,
To give your heart a song to sing;
And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love.
And in July, a lemonade,
To cool you in some leafy glade;
I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm,
A cozy fire to keep you warm;
But most of all, when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love.
I wish you bluebirds in the Spring,
To give your heart a song to sing;
And then a kiss, but more than this I wish you love.
And in July, a lemonade,
To cool you in some leafy glade;
I wish you health and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm,
A cozy fire to keep you warm;
But most of all, when snowflakes fall,
I wish you love.
Nice one KL
Middle Fish in Carlton has been open just under a month.
They serve Thai, but also European breakfasts.
It’s a fantastic space- a spacious warehouse feel – and the food and coffee is great too.
Something different.
Very cool.
Highly recommended.

Open Mon-Fri 7am-5pm; Sat-Sun 10am-4pm
This morning I have been perusing this week’s Brain Pickings newsletter. This newsletter is an absolute highlight every week- there always alot of fresh ideas and great thinking. Often crossing traditional borders between disciplines.
Two things in this morning’s update really resonated with me.
The first is a marriage of astronomy, physics and music. It is the longest musical palindrome ever and is rather hypnotic. Daniel Starr-Tambor has assigned each planet a particular note along the natural harmonic series, the rhythm is dictated by the tempo of each planet’s orbital periods.
Take a look.
The second is a marriage of food and illustration. Food Rules, An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan and illustrated by Maira Kalman (first published in November last year).
I personally love Rule #73: Do All Your Eating at a Table.
Note to self, a desk is not a table.
Here is Maria Kalman talking about illustrating the book
I love the simple images and the sentiments that go with them.
I can’t wait to get this book. It looks absolutely inspirational.
I am such a fan of the proliferation of Farmer’s Markets in Melbourne.
For me it means access to food that actually tastes like food.
These Boys Delight apples really are a delight.

I’ve made 2 for the kids of a friend.
Am I reinforcing stereotypes by making a pink one for the little girl and a blue one for the boy?
Oh well, I just liked the fabrics. They might even swap.
I love the view from the Panama Dining Room.
The wonderful vibe at the Panama Dining Room
The View. I remember doing the same when I was at uni.

Searching for an image at work today, I came across this pic on Pinterest

Which I promptly did.
And then again when I got home.
For something we do non-stop, breathing is surprisingly easy to forget.
Aaah.
Like the World.
