Evening all. My typing is going to be worse than usual as I stupidly craved open a bottle of Vinho Verde, which is much too easy to drink. Hic. Well, it is the last gasp of hot weather, and vinho verde doesn't keep well (that's my story and I'm definitely sticking to it).
Anni: I'm not on Pin, but just started on Instagram. re navy merino v-neck, it is boring, but it can be jazzed up with accessories, and will last forever. OK, I'm not helping, but navy is a staple colour in my wardrobe.
Sleep - well, I'm going to do a marathon but stop a fifth of the way into it 
. In my defence, it was my lunch and the mash was mostly celeriac, and the choco cake was made with yoghurt?.Sod it, just felt like it! congratulations on the course - I want to apply to a masters in something else, but will have to wait 2 years when DS2 is more settled in school.
foxy: can't have flagstone without underfloor heating! Would also avoid wood due to all of the water hazards in a kitchen, and also wood is very unforgiving of things like dropped plates/glasses and the occasion stiletto. What about a different tile AND underfloor heating?
DryWhite: love the sound of your kitchen. Mine is currently white, stainless steel. and wenge brown. Very minimalistic, and easily looks cluttered, so I need to be constantly on top of clutter. Yours sounds so much softer and calmer!
OneLittleLady: Ouch, sounds very painful and so sorry you won't be able to continue your drum lessons. What have the doctors said about the prognosis?
Amber - could you link to your blog? I'd love to take a look at it.
I picked up my clothes from my tailor and and very, very pleased with what she did to my leather trousers - they are now very much like the Marant ones, but cost me only a net £15! No, after this trend I won't be able to wear them again, but she breathed new life in them, and the leather is really too superb to lie abandoned on a shelf. She also unpicked and restitched my leather leggings, which look like new again. I love her!
DS2 seemed to enjoy school, but could only talk about what he had for lunch and all the playing he did. Hmmmm. Well, at least he is happy?
