Oooo, it's pretty. So very, very pretty. If I ever get married, or ever have any occasion to drive, well, anywhere, I want this car.

Or this one.

That's it. Finis. Good bye forever.

It's been a long year. Months of taking orders, of clearing plates, of talking to people I don't like about things I don't care about. Day after day of the same cyclical mundanity. But no more! This will be known as the last day I will ever waitress. Or bartend. Or serve people in an establishment where things are served on plates or in glasses (or at least let's hope).

Good bye, Alfies. You were fun while it lasted, but I'm moving on. Don't miss me too much!

Oh man. Good gracious. How could you not tell me I forgot?

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY, MAMA.

See, had I been on top of my calendar and posted this on Sunday, I could have told you about this amazing gal called my mum. I could have told you that she's pretty awesome, hilariously funny, unbelievably caring and most of all, can make a killer grilled cheese sambo. I'd have told you how she never forgets a date (a skill obviously lost between generations) and knows how to throw a savage party. I wish I had her hair, and I'm grateful I have her smile.

But, I didn't post this on Sunday. So I'll only tell you this one thing. I love her loads.

Now see, this is the funny thing about... life, actually.

It sometimes just slaps me across the face, how beautiful the simplest little bits of life are.

Take this egg for example. It just an egg, cooked gently in hot water. Nothing worth noting. And yet, noteworthy. A stunning capsule of liquid gold, just sitting modestly on my plate. No gilded mirror or cavernous hall to display its breathtaking beauty. No parade or announcement. No gallery, no press. Just a bed of vivid spinach, and a be-speckling of cracked pepper. It's so simple, and yet I cannot catch by breath when it catches my eye on a quiet, sunny morning, as the coffee next to me wakens my senses and my eyes focus to reveal this elegant delicacy before me.

And yet, it's just an egg... open your eyes, people.
