the kissing series

❆ london is totally snowed under. it's as bad as sweden out there! apparently its the earliest that snow has hit london in 50 years... back home in melbourne, the summer is wet, steamy-hot and tropical. it seems the weather's screwed up everywhere, thanks to global warming! 

i was so glad i had the day off so i could admire the pretty white streets from the warmth of my centrally heated lounge-room, while browsing gumtree for something fun to do... there was nothing very interesting going on though, except a fine-arts photographer working on a 'kissing' series and looking for couples to pose for him in public london locations. he was specifically searching for 'passionate kissers with a certain aura'.... i liked that idea. and i loved the photo he posted with the ad, so i convinced a very unwilling jerry to let me volunteer us... the photographer offers £40 and a print of your kissing photo! ...what a beautiful art-piece and keepsake!

this weather has turned me soft-hearted and soppy! after finishing the wonderful 'downton abbey' TV series, today i tracked down and began downloading all the english period dramas that i haven't seen... i just love period flicks: the piano, pride & prejudice, dangerous liaisons, atonement, brideshead revisited.... its not just the history that fascinates me, its the rolling hills, the forbidden romance, the wonderful dresses, the strapping young men galloping around on horses...

since i was in such a romantic mood, i nagged jerry into helping me with our wedding invitation wording. we want it to be casual and quirky and to somehow make reference to the sea and the beach, since that's where we met and that's where we're marrying... it proved very tricky and of course ended in an argument and me announcing that i would create the wording with the help of my mum and that it would reflect my personality, and probably not his.
 
the wedding countdown has hit the six-month point and i'm realising i haven't organised anything! i'm sort of hoping it all just falls into place of its own accord really....
that would be nice anyway.
