Christmas comes, Christmas goes, so does the New Year. And do we ever say anything interesting or original about them? Does anyone? No, just same old , same old.
The usual litany of daft diets, of vows to be healthier , of New Year’s Resolutions to break forthwith.
But, we are having wonderful weather, frosty mornings with great sunrises, clear,cold sunny days, and very cold nights causing a lot of worry about those tender plants in the greenhouse. Being at a bit of a loose end yesterday I did some reading up about my plants, and discovered , to my horror, that my wonderful new Digiplexis is TENDER! So although I was already all dolled up for a dinner date with my friends, I dashed out, got my spade and dug up the plant. Dangling earrings,embroidered velvet boots, real leather gloves, what’s going to stop a woman with gardening in her soul?
So keep your fingers crossed please. I do hope I won’t lose it!
It’s an ideal situation, losing yourself among the pine needles and cones, deciding if gold is nicer than red, is white Christmassy enough? Oh how I enjoyed myself! All lessons should be like that, complete immersion in what you’re doing!
I can make out, Autumn fashion is colluding with the approaching season to dampen our spirits. Blacks, greys, hey , that’s for mourning, not for encouraging us to leap headlong into our new season self! I don’t feel in the mood for understated elegance! I feel in the mood for eye-opening primary colours. I want to have to put my sunglasses back on because you are all wowing me with your bright , even clashing colours! And what about neon? Some neon hairsteaks would be nice. We’ve got all winter to be understated and elegant, let’s rip now!
