Very Long Day

On Monday I had a VERY LONG DAY.

A trip from my house to Epsom took just under FIVE hours instead of one and a half.

Stopped off at Richmond for charity shops and saw this barbers shop,it is just how i picture a barbers in my head.

My current book is Cesars Way by Cesar Milan,trying to get my head around the way dogs think.

Growing and Dying

I was thinking today on my walk in the woods about growing and dying.

There was a dead rabbit on the path and at first I thought,oh, just a dead rabbit. Then I thought about the whole way that the rabbit had started as a ball of cells,had grown and had ended up lying there and it just made me think about a lot of things,and the way nature works.

Saturday Jumbling

I was so excited on Saturday,it was the first jumble sale of the year at North Mymms Youth and Community Hall,one of my favourites!

I got LOADS of stuff,my fave things were a Tippy-Toes doll,and a Hats Off game.

I missed out on two beautiful metal paintboxes and an Everest Game arghhh!!!

Clothes-wise I managed to get enough new items to spruce up my outfit to my sister in laws 50th birthday party,for about 70p. Bally loafers,stripped shirt and fine wool blue cardigan...happy!

Also got a drinks fountain,an item that I'd craved after seeing Nigella Lawson using one (she likes a kitsch gadget),but i got it home and it wasn't working,i have great faith that i will reserect it though.

All in all a REALLY good haul.

Mighty Battle Cat

I was looking at Masters Of The Universe Toys in the 1985 Argos catalogue www.bit.ly/vintageargos this morning,and had forgotten that mighty Battle Cat was actually Cringer...I had forgotten poor Cringer and how much i loved him

Also.....

Chai tea actually smells a bit like dentist mouthwash (pointed out to me by a kid at school).

Went swimming last night,and almost died after 10 lengths,but kept going for 30. I remember when 60 was easy,got to keep going,I forgot how much i enjoyed it.

Swimming!

Going swimming today for the first time in ages!
Quite excited by the thought!
Hopefully there won't be too many splashy men,showing off,thrashing up and down,wrecking my eyeliner.
If i keep at it maybe i'll slim down enough to fit a 50's cossie.
Dream......Dream.....Dream........

The Delights of Agatha Raisin

I've got 20 to read,going to space them out between other books so they stay fresh.

Never liked any crime before,but I love these.

Favourite Books 2010

I've been reading loads at the moment.

Obsessed with Agatha Raisin,and any other books with lovely covers at the library.

I always judge a book by its cover.
