My 4 favourite photos

  • The Waverley’s last visit of the year. It had some technical problems and ended up staying here all afternoon.
  • My backpack badges with a new one from tinrobo.
  • My to-read pile. I did get the top 3 back to the library.
  • My first look at the newly-renovated local park – they’ve done so much work on it and it’s going to be great.

5 Links I loved

  • There’s another interactive digital art museum open in Tokyo and this one looks even more fun with water elements.
  • I’ve always wanted to visit Kagoshima in Japan where there’s an active volcano. I’m glad Amy from Cakes With Faces went and made a video. It looks just as awesome as I imagined.
  • Natasja has been reviewing her favourite Japanese stationery shops on kao-ani, if you need any more shopping inspiration.
  • If you’ve thought about having your own enamel pins made, Becky (AKA the Pink Samurai) has a great series of videos on YouTube explaining the whole process.
  • This Twitter account of endless cute bunnies has really made my days better.
