so congratulations Tina Longman you are the winner :) Thank you again for all your lovely comments and present ideas- very much appreciated.
And here are some things I'm loving this week...
Reading
* Just finished reading this book "One Day" by David Nicholls - a really great read if you're on the lookout for a book for your hols (has also been made into a movie).
* This movie 'Midnight in Paris' at Rialto Tauranga. I went to this last week and it was a really lovely movie- funny, clever, great acting and just a bit quirky.
* These TV programmes- Nigella's Christmas Kitchen and Jaime's Family Christmas. I can't get enough of Christmas cooking shows even though I haven't actually done any christmas baking yet and am still a very average cook. I love these shows for their ideas and inspiration and their beautiful cosy christmassy kitchens. And the best thing is my 4 year old and I really enjoy watching them together ♥
Listening
* to Nat Rad / Radio National - I love it. Relaxing, informative, great music (this week featured Florence and the Machine and Amy Winehouse among others) , fantastic hosts and interviews with really interesting people (love Jim Mora's afternoon show especially), Lynne Freeman's Arts on Sunday and Music 101 on Saturdays. Heaps of book and film reviews too. Recommend!More "Things I'm loving" from other bloggers at Paisley Jade's here...

Fun summery Christmas list! Thanks so much for your great giveaway and congrats to the lucky one who will enjoy it I'm sure :) Thanks for your comment! I somehow came via your info page where I noticed you like french films. There's a fun one available on itunes called Heartbreaker, with Vaness Paradis...and a new one out over here that people seem to LOVE called Untouchables. If you spot it on near you it sounds like one worth seeing :)
I've read Anne Tyler for the first time this year - read Accidental Tourist and currently half way through Saint Maybe. I'm rotating a short list of authors at the moment - Paullina Simons, Sebastian Faulks, Anne Tyler and Philippa Gregory. Must tune into National Radio, and off talkback hahaha!
Anne Tyler is one of my very favourites! I'm always excited when I see one I haven't read. Must try Elizabeth Berg, I haven't heard of her. Have you read Sue Miller?
Hi Megan,
Thanks for the book reviews. I've been looking for a good read over Christmas, so will check out some of these. Love finding new authors.
We are moving up to Tauranga in the new year! So excited. Our kids got into Bethlehem College - so we're on the hunt for a house. It's a crazy time to be selling and moving but can't wait to get to the Bay of Plenty!
