Morning all.
How are you my friends?
I’ve blinked and missed the weekend! Surely it’s only Friday? Ha ha, I’m joking really but to be honest with you my weekend was so busy it came and went in a flash!
Friday night I was back to ballroom. We took on a jive and as usual I picked it up quite well and throughly enjoyed the whole dance, well we only learnt half the routine and will finish it off next week.
On Saturday morning I helped my eldest daughter out and took one of her boys to football. After a last minute change of venue the game started in the rain, and fortunately I anticipated the wet weather and took my rain coat and umbrella. Alas it turned chilly by the end of the 40 minute game and I was rather happy to get home.
I soon warmed up as I went to my daughter’s house, the one who’s living with me whilst her house is extended, for a day of painting. We started with a base layer of mist spray which was the worst part of painting. Once all the upstairs rooms had one coat of the mist spray we started on a proper coat of paint, we went round all the rooms before returning home for an Indian takeaway and a much needed glass of bubbles.
The following day, after doing a clean for my daughter at her Air BNB, I went back to paint again, this time after finishing the landing I started on the downstairs. Another mist coat which is a watery half mix of paint was applied. It’s a big room with the kitchen, dining area and sitting room all in one place and although it took ages, we managed to get it all done. We’ll tackle that room in the week with proper paint and hope to see the difference in no time, painting a room really starts to make a room more like a liveable room doesn’t it? After a busy weekend of hard work it was wonderful to come home to a home cooked dinner of chicken, mushroom and leek pie served with baby roast potatoes, tender-stem broccoli and peas. Isn’t it nicer to have dinner cooked for you?
As you can imagine I didn’t have time to take photos, which is a real shame - I’ve been wearing so many wonderful autumnal outfits since I came home, so I’ll share a cute dress I took away with me to Sicily.
Items Marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.
I’m still working on the post about Sicily, but I promise it’ll be a good one! This is a little sneak look of a dress * I wore one evening. As usual I took dresses with me and this one was a recently gifted wrap dress that’s a cute style to wear - especially when the weather is nice and hot like I encountered in Savoca.
This was a perfect look for my long weekend and folded up nearly into my suitcase and didn’t take up any room at all. It didn’t even need an iron either!
It’s a faux wrap style that has a side zip and decent amount of fabric to keep everything covered quite nicely. The dress is predominantly pale sea blue with black spots over it. I wore neutral heels but reckon black heels will look great as would black boots of any heel height. I fancy styling it with a chunky black jumper and black boots which will transform this floaty summer dress into an outfit suitable for winter! I love a multi purpose dress don’t you? Do watch out for this one soon.
Things I adore about this style and I’ve got a few. You can see this pale blue floral I picked a few months ago and this coral beauty that I took to Majorca in June.
