21/04/2006 - Hot, hot, hot!

Wow it was hot today! I sat in my Installation (too small to call a garden) and read a book in t-shirt feeling hot, hot, hot!  (By the way, according to Which report, Hawaiian Tropic sun tan lotion ticks all the boxes + smells of coconut) . Apparently last time it snowed in April was 1976 - it's a sign - a heatwave must be coming!
The park was heaving with mums and children today.( May I suggest a cheap pair of trainers from ebay to play footie and piggy in the middle with the kids.)
The heat brings out the smells. Blossom dropping like scented snow.... the Magnolia was around with the dinosaurs - we call them Dinosaur trees.

14.4.06 Fabric, fabric, fabric.

Recently I sorted out my drawers, trunk and wardrobe and wonder why, after all these years I still make fabric mistakes.
Something I bought fairly recently (in a sale) makes my teeth go on edge and my hair go static just by looking at it!
Fabric, fabric, fabric must be my catchphrase... do not buy even if cheap.
Looking forward to flitting amongst trees and pond dipping with the kids eating chocolate eggs this Easter weekend.
Just hope the weather gets at least 5 degrees hotter
Putting up some new sites with georgeous long patchwork skirts - very tempted to order one!
Now I must go and work out my new etchings which I shall add to my Art site soon http://www.mirandasbeach.com/

La Clique c'est chique

As far as I can see this http://www.spiegeltent.net/index.php is the place to be watching http://www.realbrighton.com/story/1246 "sideshow burlesque".
I must order my bespoke corset from some impressively able corsetry maker in time for this event. And now I must rush to an open evening at Tate Britain to enjoy late night paintings with music and poetry. Will I be able to stand Art gazing in these impressive wedges by Clarks - (check out their new range on their website http://www.clarks.co.uk/ - verging on Campers! ) Or will the balls of my feet burn like the hot coals of hell? - we'll see.(at least I get my priorities right!)
