Hey, good morning! Monday greets us one more time and I for one am feeling pretty chirpy about it. Forgive me a little over egging of the Monday pudding as I write this buoyantly on a Sunday evening having spent a lovely weekend making the most of time, listing and achieving little victories. I did neglect to make a pumpkin pie as per my schedule but we can't win 'em all.
Saturday was a washout, good and proper. We headed into town for some shopping to turn a rubbish day into a productive one. It worked, we came away with plenty of Christmas presents and essentials as well as having a lovely lunch out.

Despite the rain and low temperatures, the air was almost completely still so the cold did not reach us too readily. I wore an unexpected combination of tweed skirt, thermal tights, heeled ankle boots, warm tee and a warm raincoat. It worked fine. Miniskirts which neither fall victim to a breeze nor ride up with static are an absolute winner over winter. thermal tights (Primark Super Cosy, £3.50).


Bangles, heart necklace and red rose to my hair. It was a bad day for hair with all the rain so I popped mine into a plait just to ring the changes.
Give me your heart, make it real or else forget about it (Santana).
I hope you have a brilliant week!
Take care,
Sophie
