Odd Molly

More clothes to covet but cannot afford. I saw these in the Oxford branch of Whistles I wish I could find them in London but my bank manager is probably glad I can't See more at www.oddmolly.com

Caat Paat Fiyy

Pronounced chat pat fee translates to Flash Bang Wheee which is what we will see tonight on the wonderful Blackheath. Daisy is now quite the grown up. she will go and watch the display with her friend who just happens to have an older brother who just happens to have some friends who are also going. Oh the slippery slope. Daisy's behaviour was very strange when I returned from Oxford, I of course instantly assumed she had lost her virginity (why when she has no boyfriend and as far as I know not kissed yet I don't know but...) Anyhow it was because the DT project had gone wrong, so wrong that as she sat trying to file the pieces to fit Emin felt so sorry for her he made her a cup of tea AND gave her one of his danish pastries. Acts of generosity like this are as rare as hens teeth so she must have been bad. I was so relieved I told her it did not matter, cuddles all round until last nights diatribe about my shortcomings and her fathers whom apparently I was stupid to have got pregnant by since she was so useless, I'm not sure that concept had been quite followed through to its conclusion. I read recently that fireworks are an endangered species due to their carbon footprint. Well I turn off all my standbys I do not use a hair drier, I do not iron my clothes I travel by train so if this happens I will be MIGHTY pissed off I love November 5th, best celebration we English do, nothing like celebrating Parliaments triumph over the Pope. If you want to see the absolute best ever ever firework display Stockholm is the place, just stand quayside at midnight on New Years Eve and you will see a sight of awesome spectacular beauty.

Don't try this at home

Don't go to the gym exhaust yourself for 40Min's (im getting old) then go home and guzzle a large glass of Shiraz and then try and stay awake for an episode of criminal minds that's on at 10 o' bloody clock. Of course smart people have Sky plus me I have to wait and watch.

Halloween

Halloween comes and goes. Outfits for kitty sold in shops were last seen on sale in a dubious street in Amsterdam, how are they legal? One blog described the choice as witch whore or witch slut which just about sums it up. Kitty dressed as a Zombie dancer and it took a great deal of delicate negotiations to get her to wear some leggings under her sheer 3 inches of chiffon tutu. Perversely she was happy to swathe her upper half in my cashmere wrap. I would post a photo but I have lost the lead to my camera. SO frustrating.
