Hanging storage pockets I sewed today to fit both sides of a set of
dresser drawers which will also double as a changing table.

Painting the baby's room.

Finished!

A fun piece I am making today for the baby's room- for the first time
I am trying out the effect of graphic design markers on gessoed
canvas, and I have to say that so far I'm pretty happy with the style.

Phil enjoying a HOT Sunday summer brunch at a rooftop cafe.

Choosing photos from a shoot Phil did of my ever-changing body today-
there's definitely a benefit to having a photographer fiancé!

Giant foam building blocks at my school.

Watching Miami Ink tonight reminded me of getting my second tattoo
last November- here's a photo from that time.

Lilypads in our school's fishpond. What you can't see in this photo is
that some of these lilypads actually have frogs sitting on them- so
fairytale!

A novel way to get around town with your wheelchair.

Flowers I recieved from a student for Teachers Day yesterday.

A nice cold iced coffee on a hot day. Just to prove I've never really
grown up I made it with Space Invaders shaped ice cubes.

Phil being silly with a head massager.

Abstract looking bamboo scaffolding.

Phil is famous among our friends for his marinated BBQ ribs.
Unfortunately, I'm a vegetarian!

A children's biography of Adolf Hitler!

Daily traffic.

245/365

A photo Phil took of a partially demolished building in our
neighbourhood.

This is not an uncommon sight in Shanghai: bicycles overloaded with
polystyrene boxes on their way to being used or recycled.

243/365

Workers from the construction site next door to Phil's studio taking
advantage of the air conditioning to take their siesta in the lobby of
his studio.

The overwhelming screech of cicadas in summer in Shanghai reminds me
of Australia.

241/365

More Chinglish.

Mushrooms don't get any fresher than that! The top shelf of the fridge
in the Olé supermarket in Xu Jia Hui sells mushrooms and other fungi
still growing in pots.

239/365

The excessive amount of packaging left over after opening and filing
about 40 DVDs. What a waste!

A photo shoot in Phils studio.

Bamboo scaffolding lying in an alleyway.

Bamboo frames being prepared by a florist to be covered with flowers.

Although the standard of living in shanghai is much better than other
parts of china, even downtown you still find pockets of land that are
little more than slums. The gap between the rich and poor in shanghai
is HUGE.

234/365

I've been looking forward to the moment I could eat food off my
pregnant belly for years. Classy, huh?

233/365

A typhoon scheduled to head towards shanghai today forced the closure
of all schools. The typhoon never really amounted to much more than
heavy rain. This was the view from my taxi.

Fake flowers at the local flower market.
