28th July 2007

A weekend of sun! Oh joy - I actually thought I was going mad last week - as I was getting used to having wet feet, wet hair & generally looking like a total mess, even after an hour of dressing effort. But, like a juxtaposed joke, just as I got used to it, the sun came back! I don't know about you but at first I wasn't very impressed - I mean, I have all my black tights & boots out now. Just as I've been planning a weekend away in the sun, out he comes, in all his glory.

It's been a great weekend though - busy in the garden generally, taking in the rays and sorting out everything that has overgrown and gone totally mad in the last few weeks of rainy solitude.

Have you been shopping lately? It seems the stores have been going totally mad with their sales - apparently Harvey Nicks were selling off the most amazing Jimmy Choos for less than £100 because the season has been so changeable and the summer stock needed shifting... how fabulous is that? Can't believe I didn't get in there early enough - note to self, get to the shops on time next season sale!

According to our stylist, Martine, the shops are stocking short season items nowadays so you have to snap up things you like because they're not hanging around - I thought her article was really interesting... whatever next?

So, happily I didn't have to munch on a roast dinner tonight, because the sun's been out again and I've been back on the salad. The only thing is though, my skin seems to be taking a battering - I'm not sure if it's the weather or what -I seem to be going through a combination of dry, then oily skin, spots and then no spots but dry skin again. I keep changing my moisturiser, but not sure that's the answer really.
To make matters worse, when I got my legs out in the garden in the vague attempt at some suntanning I had remnants of fake tan all over my ankles and knees - oh, how attractive. The things we do to try to look attractive, it's funny really.

Oh dear, I can see you all now - imagining this confused looking Girl with her trousers round her knees, orange streaky legs and funny spotty face (you're probably not far off!).

Am off to eat potato wedges, Busy Girls, it's gone cool this evening again, you see!
Catch you soon Busy Girls, love from
