Mine have been a little out this week, so apologies for the scarcity of posts. Still, I don’t have time to write much now either – I have managed to get my cake in the oven, but I still want to change the bed, get a load of washing through, have a nice cool shower (a bit of a nightly ritual this week) and do various webby chores! I’ve been kinda poor at keeping on top of things this week!

So, a couple of outfit posts, and my sincerest apologies!

MONDAY: Dress: George; shrug: Coast; shoes: Debenhams
Yes, my hair is wet – in this wonderful heat a dryer is simply not an option for me!

TUESDAY: Jacket: shortened dress from charity shop; skirt: gifted.

These are my lovely comfy “save-up” shoes, the same ones which broke unexpectedly on Saturday. Back then I superglued them back together, and on Monday night I checked the superglue would be safe for traipsing around the NEC at my conference on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I only checked the superglued bits – not the rest of the shoe… so halfway to the station yesterday they naturally broke again!

Again, I hobbled into the nearest corner shop and bought superglue. Only this time I stood barefoot by the side of the road, spilling superglue all over my fingers, the shoes and the top of the rubbish bin I was leaning on. They did stick, although I spent the entire day waiting for them to fall apart. More importantly, I think the commuters I was standing on the platform with thought I had some terrible skin disease, the way I was peeling great strips of glue off my palms…

Luckily the rest of the day went pretty darned well, and the conference (curriculum reform consultation, for my teachery friends to whom that might mean something!) was very interesting! It raised some interesting points, to say the least!

Ok, that’s 25 mins. Time to check the cake!
