Last days of Summer...

I love Summer but my favourite part is the last few days of Summer (not that I'm wishing it away). The light is stunning, its warm but not uncomfortable heat and just perfect for people watching from the front steps...

Studs, Leopard Print & Day 3...

So, day 3 detox was supposed to be the 'bad' day - the 'tough' one...
Well, here goes if you've ever done a renovation or house project - that might I add still leaks... then seriously day 3 - no sweat!!!

Detox Day 2...

 

Day 2 of the Rapid Cleanse Detox and week 5 of the summer holidays (and yep I look how I feel - exhausted!). I have high hopes (and I'm considering praying) that the detox will recharge my batteries and get me back on track for the next 3 weeks... To be fair starting a detox on the day that I have my Botox redone does seem to be an oxymoron...but hey, I might be tired but at least I can't frown about it!

I'm thinking about a trip to the zoo...

As the summer holidays approached I considered options to keep both Mushroom and I busy, occupied, happy and having fun. One thing that kept coming up was a zoo membership.
So I investigated - 20% if you joined by direct debit... and hence joined. And - we have broken even on cost v's trips!

Sunday Shopping...

In days gone by Sundays would have disappeared in a blur (sometimes literally) and at other times in a haze of sleep, hangover and Sunday vintage market shopping.
These days we can fit in - play park, animal park, swimming, walking Jasper & Sugar and still have time for a wee spot of shopping! Hence our photos at Hub (menswear) in Church Street...

The School Gate & High Heels...

 For reference... Mr Happy face...

...& Mr Greedy tummy!

It occurred to me today just how much I hide behind what I wear. The more difficult the times, the bigger the sunglasses and the higher the heels! but there in lies a wee problem, I can't drive in heels and there fore end up on the 'school run' wearing beaten up sneakers. Not a problem but as 'the school gate' situation terrifies me (everyone seem so fabulous, so in control!) that I shuffle! So do I change my shoes to walk the 500 yards, continue to do what looks like the 'dodgy mum shuffle' or just get a grip?! 

Enough said - I'll get a grip! (writing anything down is so therapeutic - or just plain old scary to see how bonkers I sound!)
