What makes you smile? Ukuleles and riding my bicycle.
What are you currently listening to? My favourite ipod playlist, which features musical stylings from Pomplamoose, Rosy Tin Teacaddy, Fly My Pretties, Beirut, Phoenix Foundation, The Woolshed Sessions and a healthy smattering of the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra, to name but a few.
What's your favourite childhood book? Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. What child wouldn't love it if their bedroom turned into a forest!
What are you reading? A nondescript sci-fi fantasy novel, as I've run out of Neil Gaiman books to read. C'mon Neil, don't leave me hanging...
It would be most unfortunate if... there was no such thing as coffee.
