coffee and street art

- Für Deutsch bitte runterscrollen! -

[EN] Hello lovelies!

I'm  bit behind with posting all the fabulous posts I have prepared for you, so here we go with another Perthian street art gem.

Remember when I told you about FORM, the non-profit organisation that brings street artists to Perth and organises blank spaces for them to place their works? I told you about it here. Thanks to this organisation there have been heaps of new murals popping up everywhere over the past weeks. 

What you see in the pics is - wait for it - a public toilet. Yes, really! It's located in the middle of my hood, East Vic Park, in a car park next to a busy supermarket. Its four walls show artworks of different artists, one on each side.

When we took these photos two weeks ago the fourth wall was still in progress and we caught one of the artists in the act. Live street art so to speak!

So we watched the mural emerge for a while and afterwards grabbed a coffee at our favourite coffee shop The Imp. Like my new shirt?

[DE] Hallo zusammen!

Ich hänge mal wieder hoffnungslos hinterher mit all den tollen Posts die ich für euch schon vorbereitet hab, deshalb gibts hier direkt mal wieder eine weitere Perth'sche Streetart Perle.

Erinnert ihr euch daran, dass ich euch letztens von FORM erzählt habe, einer gemeinnützigen Organisation, die allerlei Künstler nach Perth holt und ihnen weiße Wände für ihre Projekte organisiert? Hier könnt ihr es nochmal nachlesen. Dank dieser Organisation sind wie von Zauberhand in den letzten Wochen überall in der Stadt neue Graffitis aufgetaucht.

Was ihr in den Bildern seht ist - man mag es kaum glauben - eine öffentliche Toilette! Ja wirklich! Stehen tut sie mitten in meiner Hood, East Vic Park, auf einem Parkplatz neben einem gutbesuchten Supermarkt. Auf jeder der vier Wände ist ein Werk von einem anderen Künstler zu sehen. Als wir vor zwei Wochen diese Fotos geschossen haben, war die vierte Seite noch gar nicht fertig bemalt und wir haben die Künstlerin mitten im Mal-Prozess angetroffen. Live und in Farbe, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes quasi!

Also haben wir ihr eine Weile beim Pinseln zugeschaut und sind danach zu unserem Lieblingscafe The Imp getingelt um ein Käffchen zu trinken. Gefällt euch mein neues Shirt?

Have a fantastic day! - Habt einen wundervollen Tag!

the rooftop wraps around because the sky is just the ground

Ello folks,

how are you? Did you have a nice weekend?

Remember when I was complaining about life getting in the way of my plans in the last post? Well, this time it got in the way big time! Right after posting my last post on Wednesday I headed for my weekly martial arts class - and came back hobbling.

I lost balance when we practiced punch defence, twisted my ankle and fell, then hobbled home. The next day I couldn't walk at all, so I hobbled to the hospital and they found out the right foot is broken.

I never had a broken bone in my life before, so I didn't know how annoying such a cast and crutches are - but damn do these things suck! I'm so looking forward to getting a splint instead next Thursday.

So since Thursday I've been staying at home in my pyjamas, putting my foot up and sipping on chai latte. I've been really lazy (the doc said I shouldn't move unless it's really necessary) and I'm very lucky that Jay is here to help me with all the little daily life things that are so much harder when you can't walk.

Have you ever tried to carry a mug of chai latte from the kitchen to the bedroom jumping? Fun fun fun! Especially when you spill half of it along the way...

The good thing about a broken foot is that you have lots of time to do stuff like editing photos, blogging and browsing. I don't really feel like taking outfit pictures at the moment, but luckily I still had these photos from Wednesday up my sleeve.

When I have to read for my bachelor thesis I like to do it on a cozy little coffee break because my concentration works much better with everyday life sounds around. So Jay and I went to one of my favourite cafés around the corner and treated ourselves with Latte and cake.

I swear I will be so fat when I finish my thesis! We do that all of the time when I have to read. I love our little coffee shop outings, but I already know I'll have to work out more again after he has left for Australia.

But oh well, until then we enjoy our time, so some extra cake is alright I guess.

Nooo I'm totally not trying to sugarcoat the situation here.....not at all! ;)

The outfit is cute and comfy, exactly what I need for these little reading sessions. It includes one of my favourite big cozy cardigans that I got from the Urban Outfitters sale last year. There's just the right amount of wool in it to make it comfy and warm without making my poor sensitive skin feel itchy.

Also these are my new favourite shoes! I bought them on a little trip to Venlo (Netherlands) on New Year's Eve and have been living in them since then. Awesome bargain as they were only 30 €, yippie!

Like them?

See, that's the cake. Who could resist, hm?! Please make me feel good and say "No one!" at this point now. ;)

Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
