setting forth...

alas I missed the lovely areez katki during his brief soujourn to auckland.

he's resumed his european adventure leaving behind some tantalising

images. who would of thought such lovely images could be taken in matamata

and there is a delicious sense of the relief of homecoming,

the perpetual return of a new-zealander to the beach. see here.

all images by areez katki, taken from here

shortly...

there's nothing like cotton shorts.

look at these lovely poolside boxers

in check silk cotton by the ever-wonderful penny sage.

there are times when I like to nest in bed, reading, writing, watching the light and dozing.

these would be perfect, with some soft woollen socks...
