• jo’s four favourite posts I’m on leave, so this is a in-case-you-missed-it post. I asked right-hand chick Jo to highlight her favourite posts from the year. Here they are: (PS. this pic above is one Jo took from her flat…she sits here to think each morning…) 1. I love this post: The best reason I’ve ever found for backing more
• A day at bondi…a christmas gift idea Every few weeks or so I feature one of Eugene Tan’s wonderful beach pictures on this site. I know many of you love them. Woah!, now you can buy the book.

• sunday life: in which i check in with my inside people…and Eugene Tan This week I check in with my “inside people” You can spend a lifetime reading books about how to get happy in 11 easy steps while not sweating small stuff.
