OK, so this has nothing to do with design, but a lot to do with quality of life and since my quality of life directly influences the quality of my design, then I thought I’d share this with you.
Emma is a friend who was at my sister’s birthday dinner the other night, which we were fortunate to celebrate at Cantina restaurant, in Mount Lawley Perth.
BYO meant we could indulge in their degustation menu which was a joy to indulge in. Especially the dessert … check out some reviews here if you are interested.
It was here that Emma, who as a result has revealed herself to be a woman of great foresight, told us of her “F” theory… which is basically the idea that if one is not feeling particularly happy, then one should add a few more “F” words into their day. The only flaw I can see in this is that adding more curse words into your day doesn’t necessarily increase happiness, unless you enjoy being grumpy. So what she really means are words like “friends”, “flowers”, “fun”, “frolicking”, “freedom” “finishing” (that last one is mine… since I never really finish anything then I feel particularly chuffed if I actually do… I’m sure Emma will approve). I didn’t realize there were so many good “F” words to be indulged in in one’s endless pursuit of happiness and well being.
So today’s “F” word was “friend”… I had coffee with my friend Norm, because it was a work-at-home day and the beauty of work-at-home days is that I can do what I want.
Please feel free to give me any more good “F” words, or bad ones if you like. Balance is as important in life as it is in design.
A Rose By Any Other Name... it's a flower and flower starts with "f".

This is a sweet theory. Can’t help feeling it’s a bit flawed…..f words that immediately spring to mind for me (when I banish the expletives) are….fearful, flawed (unconsciously used above), frumpy fantasist…which is how I feel right now at 6 in the morning whilst trying to design Bird at the Table Website…..then there is fail, failed, failing, flail and flailing….(or that charming renaissance punishment) …. to flay…….there is fat, fiscal and finance, (always a bad ones for me), forty (alas no longer), flap (or in one)….fart, faithless, foolish and forgotten…. probably enough for now. I will try and employ the positive f you mentioned…..FINISH. But before I do that I must BEGIN….which is a b word along with bad, bugger, bastard, bloat. But can’t leave on this note so here is one last attempt…..FABULOUS!!
