A simple life of cruising the coves and rivers for a free bouy, jumping off the boat for a swim, laughing whilst eating korean bbq with friends and drinking soju, falling asleep as the sun goes down and waking up to birdsong and gentle water lapping against the boat

Isle of Skye, Scotland. June 2017

Hard to explain the feelings this place dredges up as you explore its nooks, crannies and peaks. Perhaps its the distant biology calling.

Inle Lake, Myanmar 2019

An amazing experience flying along the glassy lake on long boats, watching the stilt houses and silk weaving factories as you go by. Fertile red soil popping amongst the vegetation and pagodas

The melody may be simple, but the story telling in this song is exquisite. What a gift to give such a heartfelt insight into a father and familys complexity.
I remember seeing this song live. Folk were crying and then healed by a gently encouraged "la la la" singalong. Magic

Revisiting some Nujabes, the God father of lofi hip hop and a heavy feature my early 20s. His 'Luv Sic' series with Shing02 is masterful with each track a new love letter to music 💖
'It's funny how the music put times into perspective.
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it'

People came for the reclining Buddha, but it was the masterful murals that stole my heart.

Thousands of stupas, temples and monasteries built amongst the red earth and lush green vegetation. We had an English Patient moment, swinging our lights in the dark cavern seeking out the art work hidden in the dark.

Reminiscing about seeing Ben Folds at the Sydney Opera House. He taught us all to sing the back harmony similar to the crowd in this vid. One of those special moments of crowd connection when all is well in the world.

There are these spots that are still empty after the 2011 earthquake. The local government has run out of money so they've turned them into dance squares where you can hook up your phone via WiFi to a converted washing machine and have a little boogie

After enjoying a few too many cocktails at the fabulous Caretaker last night, it was nice to spend a chunk of the day meandering along the waterfront in much cooler weather

It's honestly so beautiful here. And quiet. Apart from the water lapping, the free roaming chickens and the odd moped or boat engine, there's nothing but the wind.
There's also reef herons the same colour grey as Calvin. It's a nice way to be reminded of him

This guy pulled me right out of my work zone and I had to simply turn and watch the performance play out, the emotions echoing long after the song stopped. Crazy raw goodness

I first became aware of this song when I was at a horse riding camp. The girls in the dorm would play it non-stop. And then talk as though they were from the hood, not some teenage girls in rural Australia, riding horses in the bush.
Love this version - thank you interwebz

7 years ago, meandering through Kyoto.
The gardens along the river way were beautiful, but what suprised me most were the rivers of moss 'grass', lovingly tended by gardeners with tweezers
