LazySUNDAY = Gott Nytt År!

Have a lovely one xxx

LazyFILM…we heart BAVA

Is it chilly outside? Feel like a night in?   How about this…

EAT- chicken, fennel and olive stew (yes I will post the recipe). 

DRINK – red wine please, lots of it.

WATCH - Sei donne per l'assassino (Blood and Black Lace)

Sei donne per l'assassino is a 1964 Italian thriller by the king himself, Mario Bava.  The story is set around a fashion house, with a killer who likes to, well, kill models.  I have a huge weakness for ‘giallo’ from the 60s, and this would have to be one of my faves.  This film is fab for a cosy night in, and worth watching just for the opening credits. But be warned, watch out for ‘dubbed’ copies.  This film should be seen in it’s true form, Italian style.  LOVE it.

LazyCHRISTMAS to you and yours

Well it’s Christmas Eve, and I am just stupidly happy to be home in Adelaide.  It’s been a long week full of lots of tooth pain (first session of relief done…two more to go aahhh), and I am starting to feel all ‘Christmassy’ inside. 

Over the next 24 hours I will spend time with my five siblings, their other halves, four parents, two babies and one grandmother (not to be confused with a partridge in a pair tree).  On top of that I am sure there will be at least one roast dinner, a bbq, yummy grazing food, and lots and lots of red wine (the dentist did confirm I can drink, yes!). 

So what’s your plans then?

To all my sweet friends all of the world, who have been lovely enough to follow this little blog, have an amazingly beautiful Christmas break full of people, food, and alcohol that you LOVE.

Love and kisses

LazySUNDAY

LazyLONDON memories

With all this crazy wet and cold weather right now (sooo not what our summer should be!) it has me thinking of the one thing you could always rely on at Christmas time in the London, FREEZING cold weather.   I feel for my friends who are trying in that crazy snow, to find some way of making their way home for Christmas where ever it may be.  In celebration of that lovely place I called home for two years, here are a few LazyMEMORIES.
