A little bit of this and a little bit of that

Had a planned shopping mission yesterday (cardigans and jumpers) but instead I got a blouse and a knitted hood. I just couldn't find what I needed so the hunt continues. It was still nice to wander round the West End with my fellow though! 

Late lunch

Lunch is always the meal I can easily forget to have. We were in full cleaning-the-house-mode yesterday and it wasn't until 3.30pm we realised that we were actually very hungry. So we quickly popped into one of our locals and had a cosy and tasty meal, a treat after all that cleaning and scrubbing. 

In the big tent

Went to the circus with the in-laws this weekend which was good fun. Before the show started the ringmaster said that photography was strictly forbidden and covered by copyright laws owned by the circus so I quickly hid my camera. Being thrown out by a stern man wearing a top hat and a red tailcoat jacket would have been too embarrassing!

Could this be...

... the most mundane posting in the history of blogging? Maybe. I watched the hubby repair our blinds (and saving us a small fortune in the process) and my contribution was to document it. Most people wouldn't find this sort of thing picture-worthy but I just thought the light was too good to ignore. Have a great weekend whatever you're doing!

What's on our walls

I was tagged by Mette and this is some of it, although there's a lot of framed and un-framed things that haven't been hung yet... I think I might have to do an update one day. Just remembered that there are some more here. I tag: girl ferment, emma and kiddet (hanna). Happy Friday!

Good wood

After having being couped up indoors for a week resting I finally got to go out for a lovely walk. The hubby doesn't usually want to go for walks but as he had jetlag to beat he was more than happy to come along. These woods are near where we live and I love them so much. Hardly anyone was around so I finally got to have a go at the giant swing. It was like being a kid all over again. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Neck chic

I just have to show you this collar that I got given for my birthday, fun isn't it? It changes a regular plain t-shirt or jumper into something much more exciting in two seconds flat. And I think I can deal with the fact that the hubby thinks I look like Lord Blackadder... at least I'll keep warm right? 

Early hibernation

It's been quite cold here this weekend and I've refused to put the heating on (come on, it's only the first weekend of September!!) so I've been bunkering under a blanket getting my knitting on, wearing a rather fetching woolly socks and leg warmers combo. I think my favourite thing about these colder days and nights is the cosiness of burning candles, dimming the lights and curling up with Little Mo on the sofa. I'm ready Autumn, bring it on.

Back in the day

Time for a cross-processed flashback! It's so grey and dreary here in Londontown right now that I have to inject myself with these colour shots or I might go colour blind soon. I think these are from '97-'00, from some of my Lomo days in LA, Stockholm and London. Jeez, time flies! Hope you all have a brightly coloured weekend ;)

Oh and much love to my cousin who's getting married today in Stockholm, so sad that I can't be there, have a great day kusinvitamin!
