A Wheely Good Weekend.

[puddingcat]

I spent mopst of Friday through to a bit of Monday in Norfolk with (takes deep breath) nurse_liz, kowt and brother, nannyo, Mup, professoryaffle, rms, dr_wez, minspi, Stubeedoobeedoo, and geekpsi. Nobody attempted murder or GBH, nobody drowned in the river, nobody threw a hissy fit, and nobody got lost. Not a bad holiday, really.

Cromer in January isn't recommended for a shopping trip, however. Although, having said that, I did get a couple of lovely necklaces; one red leaf (which I can't find on the Artyfax website), and one silver & pale green enamel one by Pilgrim.

Otehr than that, I ate lots (including fairy cakes made from Real Fairies), drank a bit (but less than I'd expected; I brought home half my beer & more than half my sake), made a tactical withdrawal from a jigsaw puzzle, learned how to play mahjongg (if not how to score it) and passed on the next few Saiyuki volumes to nannyo (who was amused as I was about the many varieties of "monkey" insults flying between the mahjongg players).

After dropping minspi at the station and finding lunch, dr_wez kindly informed me that I looked shattered, so I left him to his haircut and went home. Where Cleo was so happy to see me that she came downstairs and walked all over me, despite professoryaffle being in the room, never mind the house.

Then I slept for 2 hours. Mmmm, sleeeeep.

I have a few photos, which I shall upload once at home. For now, I'm trying to remember how to work, hoping my stuffy nose doesn't develop into a Real Cold, trying to avoid the Duo website (*glares* at daegaer and louiselux) and absently wondering how I can become more feminine. I want to be more feminine. How do I manage this without crossing the line into "crap"?

I agree with pmoodie. :D Although I did see some gorgeous red silk polka dot 1940s gowns the other day, that might do the trick. I can't remember the website right now though, bah.

Yes! The 40s / 50s look is what I'd like to be able to do!

I want to look like this_is_my_name - all floaty and arty and stuff. Possibly, getting my hair cut was a bad idea.

Your hair is adorable.

And although this_is_my_name looks totally gorgeous and yes, feminine, and did I mention gorgeous? - I think personally what makes her most attractive is her strength and energy, and her self-expression. She could dress in a tweed suit with pearls and somehow she'd still exude her own individuality.

And you do, too, already. I'd bet you don't appear to others anywhere near how you think you do!

God, I can't stop spamming your journal this afternoon. I'll go do some work now, promise!

This one possibly? :) *dress pimping*

I've been ogling it from afar, like those boots. Mmmm, boots. If only I thought I could actually walk in those heels...
