Today we spent another day cleaning, so no real exciting things happening here at the farm. The weather is just not looking good for the poor watermelon crops..its been raining a TON and thunder and lightning storms almost every day (or night), which means the watermelons that haven't been picked (and are unable to be picked because it's too wet) are getting over-ripe and no good. I feel bad for Ian because I can imagine how stressful it must be for a farmer having spent months and months tending to his crops and not to mention plenty of money doing it, and mother nature just won't give him a break. Good thing Ian's such a calm, level headed dude and takes everything in stride… All you can really say is "C'est La Vie" right?
Now, creative time.
I currently have a couple good reads of the go, one being a super cool aussie magazine called 'Frankie'. Magazines over here (like everything else) are expensive so I haven't indulged in many..but this one is worth the money. Frankie Magazine covers subjects like, design, photography, fashion, travel, music, crafts and art..its pretty much the ultimate hipster lifestyle magazine. I loveee it.
The articles are engaging and worthwhile and the magazine itself is beautifully designed and put together with plenty of consideration and love.
If there was one magazine I'd love to work for in Australia this would be it. And their office is located in Burliegh Heads (which was one of my fave places on the gold coast) ..hmmm time to knock on some doors perhaps?
Heres a few snaps of issue fifty-six that I purchased the other day.
Check you their equally beautiful website here to download past issues and browse articles and photos!
Thanks for reading!
