Green Mile

I watched Green Mile last night.

Well not all of it.

I watched The Castle

and Green Mile in the ad breaks

and when The Castle finished.

I love The Castle.

All time best ever Aussie movie.

An absolute gem.

Darrel Kerrigan defending his home against

big business and the Government when they want to

appropriate it to expand the airport.

Oh yeah did I say the Melbourne airport is right next door?

Location, location, location is relative.

The Kerrigan's coin epic phrases like

"Straight to the pool room!"

"Ya dreaming!"

"Ah the serenity"

And I'm feeling the serenity this morning in my wee castle.

Woke up super early,

sun streaming in the window.

I'm missing my bedside table at the minute

cause it has borer and

I spent a hour yesterday painting it with kerosene.

I'm not quite ready to have it back in my bedroom just yet.

That would be a case of ah the serenity as the fumes fill the room!

It's one of those blissful mornings

when it's already hot and

a wander to the vege patch reveals this delicious wee morsel

A cannonball courgette.

Admittedly we are suffering a courgette glut

all from one plant.

And we are awaiting (read: hanging out) 

for the sweet 100s cherry tomatoes to ripen

so we can fry up the courgette with wee tomatoes

douse with balsamic vinegar

(a word of warning: don't inhale when adding the vinegar

you will regret it when the acidic fumes

rocket through your nasal membrane.)

I am really excited about eating this roundy courgette.

Ah the simple pleasures.
