I did an experiment this week of working from home all week, I did not leave my house except to do the school run. My conclusion: rather odd. I am solitary soul much of the time, happy with my own thoughts, but going into the office is some human contact that I like and need. The weather has turned seriously cold so as I sat ay my desk at home, I was accompanied by a hot water bottle - OK so there are some advantages of home-working!
Had a parent's evening with Boo's teachers; turns out the girl is abit of a star! I always secretly knew (hoped) for this but to have it confirmed in droves is nothing short of wonderful. Seems her future is brighter than even we imagined. And guess what? The girl is a writer...

Despite its connotations I love fur; just looks so stylish to me. I love her whole outfit.

Whilst on the winter wedding topic - love this ice queen look. I was only 25 when I married so was not quite brave enough to sport this. If it were now I would so go to town on the whole thing, as if I was in Narnia...

Lovely images. Have a wonderful time on your girlfriend getaway.
ReplyDeleteLovely Friday photos. Alexa's hat is gorgeous - wish I could pull that look off! I do have a fur hat just like that one though, just waiting for it to be cold enough to wear.
ReplyDeleteMy son had an outstanding school report last week. So proud of him.
Enjoy your reunion in Bristol. I'm off to Cologne for the Christmas markets with a group of friends. So looking forward to a few glasses of gluhwein to keep us warm!
You have included an amazing photo of my fave 3 actresses - I never saw that photo, just brilliant. And the luxy lady you admire, me too!
ReplyDeleteWe must have been at uni at about the same time. My mum took me coat shopping too - but I went to Flip in Covent Garden and got a vintage double layer canvas and cord number, quite tomboyish but I loved it and wore it in the freezing Yorkshire winters. Thanks for bringing back the memories, I hadn't thought about that coat for years! Have a fun, maybe snowy weekend.x
lovely photos

Hope you have a wonderful weekend with the girls and so thrilled to hear that your girl is doing so well.. it makes you heart want to burst with pride doesn't it? She's gonna take after her mum! xxx

PS thanks for my lovely card...so glad you love the stockings xx
That first picture is fabulous. What a joy it must be to hear about your daughter doing so well- I am so looking forward to school days with my boys! And of course she's a writer...sounds like she takes after her mum in many ways...
ReplyDeleteI work from home a couple days a week, and that's a good balance. I love eliminating the commute, being able to eat out of my own fridge for lunch, and getting things done without interruption...it's awesome. But I recognize that doing it every day would be hard. The human interaction is a very important part of my working days as well.
Brilliant and wonderful news about the Boo! Proud mamma moment for sure. Can so relate. x
ReplyDeleteStunning parade of random beauty.
