Sorry I really didn't want to write about rain during the end of May ! What has happened to the weather, I have been in and out with washing, the first glimpse of sun and the washer is on . The other day the sun was shining and I more or less dragged a jacket off my husband's back so I could put all the quilted jackets in one wash. by the time it had reached the last spin there was a cloud over the house like Armageddon. I will gladly pay whatever the cost for any electrical appliance BUT the drier I am inexplicably mean...meaner than mean, no idea why ! So you can understand my dilema ...rain and more rain means I have to have the dryer on . I stand in front of it and keep opening the door checking to see if things are dry- which my husband says is self defeating...I know !! but can not help it working from home brings new problems I should go to the launderette and keep to selling handbags.

Well we are hopefully going to return to some semblance of normality very soon...hooray for that. Wearing "Cosy Joe" clothing {anything with an elastic waist and is only just a style step up from a baby grow} has to be a fashion leap in the right direction. What have I missed? LIPSTICK!  Those of you who know me, know that I am rarely if ever seen without a shade of colour to my lips. Wearing a mask you would presume would have forced me to keep my varied lipsticks {over 20 at the last count} in the dressing table drawer. NOT A CHANCE!!

I have persevered with the Cardinal Red/ Flamingo Pink/ Treacle Toffee/ Ibiza Nights et al. Do I care that the inside of my mask looks like I have had a thump to the lips? Not a bit of it. In Edwardian times I would definitely have been rifling through the beetroot patch. During WWII I would have found myself a GI with a stash of rouge and nylons. So hopefully with the relaxing of some COVID rules imminent I will be reaching for the Chanel Nude or Cardinal Red or Flamingo Pink and showing off my lips in their full glory again. 😂😂 

On a more serious note, I would like to acknowledge that COVID has been an absolute nightmare for a lot of family's and caused a great many bereavements much financial hardship, family separation, horrendous upset. So, I acknowledge that in no way wish cause upset or offence to anyone. 

Another brew? ....Well yes please, that is my normal reply....
