Lazing on a sunday afternoon.... In the Summer Time!!!

Its 12.30pm Sunday afternoon and I'm kickin it by the blow-up pool in the front yard of a sharehouse old Queenslander on a street where every second house is filled with students and twenty-somethings....

We're sitting on the front deck with beers in hand ... Neighbors walking pass, knowing they are just heading home to pick up beers to come back and party ....

Picture THIS and THESE Tunes in the Background (Cause our heads are still hurting from the night before)

PHOENIX - Run Run Run - Get IT!!

Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars (Shazam Dub Mix) - Get IT!!
