you study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete

in the last couple of day’s i have been to a women’s buddhist meet….it was held at ivette’s and her daughter vita is too cute…

she was there with her kid’s buddhist beads and orange outfit…with her own mirror postioned low to check her outfits…

a gal after my own heart….

she loved my mickey and minnie t-shirt….

christian laboutin shoes…..and was a delight….speaking a mixture of the odd english word and chinese i think or that ‘s what it sounded like….

when i went to the toilet i had to sit on her toilet seat designed to stop her falling in…

on the way home bumped into buddhist’s who said i’m looking even younger and there convinced i have a mirror in my loft a la dorian gray…

one of them asked if i was in love???

today i had to go and sit an exam……i’d been putting it off but had to do it if i wanted to keep my options open……work wise…

it was easy….and i was good and checked my answers at the end and i enjoyed it…

i always did well in exams….

after i  came home did yoga and roasted the first of the season’s asparagus just with some olive oil and sea salt…i ate with parmesan and balsamic and wow!!!

finished with a apple cake i bought on the way home…

she’s always the best

just got home and watched the last episode of mad men series three…

i worship that programme…

i’m also loving the latest pictures leaked of madonna shooting the autumn dolce and gabbanna campaign..

loving the handbag…

what’s really important in life? sitting on a beach?

yesterday i wore another one of my new dresses from ellis and alex…..i had to get ready really fast….and was wondering is this too rude….as in low cut…….

the dress is beautiful with paua shells on it…..

i have been so busy this week and my computer decided not to work….my washing machine and my remote….one by one throughout the week….

i’m sure it’s bad feng shui…..
and then to top it off my shoe broke on the way to the saturday meet….the same shoe in the same spot as last year….

did i let that ruin my mood NO….

after the meet i just went and bought some new sandals barefoot and dropped the others off at my local repair store…

then i went to buy my vegetables with my favorite stall holder..

she always calls me ‘good girl’…

she said are you going to the beach????

was it the low”ish look??? of my dress???

after coffee and snacks in the sun……and talk of men…

and when i got home…..one by one everything began working!!!!!

the best thing i know is to do exactly what you wish….for a while

got an email from marie cybelle this morning saying that she’s 80% sure she will be at the eurostar  to greet me with a hugaroo …….and how do i  feel about two wheel travel as her vespa should be fixed by then…..according to her it’s the ultimate parisian touch………

all sounds very roman holiday….but with my luggage i’m not so sure??????

it’s gonna be fun…..

in brazil they throw flowers at you

busy busy few days….meet with my boss today…

she’s so attached to her flowers….

she just planted hydrangeas on the terrace and she said they need water and lots of it…

if she comes back from venice and there dead she’ll be really annoyed…

so watering them every day we shall be doing…

after work bumped into nick my neighbor….

and then again on the way home after my spiritual meet…

twice in one day is pretty unusual..

i bought myself some more beauty  products to add to my collection on the piano..

from france…

lovely honey lip balm and foot creme…

getting ready for paris.

every time i go out the people stare at me, with my little ukelele in hand

i went to my meet on sat ur day……wearing my mickey and minnie t-shirt…..

i got told it was cute….

i wore it hoping a certain someone would get the message????

after went to sit in the sunshine with a friend and catch up…

walking down portobello road we stopped to listen to a singer outside rough trade records…

she was amazing….

eliza doolittle…sporting the ripped tight look and sneakers….

accompanied by a young man on ukulele who also whistled….

her new single has just come out…skinny genes….

it’s fantastic…

i played  it today as i did a quick pedicure…

in morocco, it’s possible to see the atlantic and the mediterranean at the same time

talking to maddy about her trip to morocco next week…

thats if the volcanic dust from iceland stops and the planes at heathrow can take off.

shes waxed and ready to go.

i have been trying to call my mother to wish her happy birthday…..

and check she liked her presents…

about to try again…

shopping is my cardio

i dashed after work to buy my mickey and minnie t shirt…

had a charming sale’s person and left happy…..they wanted to put me on there mailing list so let them…

had time just to quickly check out mainline dolce and gabbanna….they opened the doors as they were about to close…

florals and more florals….

then went to get my hair cut….

after a meet which was great….

my boss returned from vietnam today…she came to help as we were busy but she can’t do anything…

i think she made her assistant a coffee once and she was in shock…

it had to be filter….

it was nice having her there though…i like her…

when he shall die, take him and cut him out in little stars

i went to a funeral yesterday……

the buddhist leader of our headquarters died last week….

i wasn’t very close to her so wasn’t sure if i was going to go or not…

i did and i’m really glad i did….

the service was at the chelsea town hall and well attended…

seeing the coffin freaked  me out a bit just thinking she was in there…

i’ve only been to three funerals in total..

it was very moving…

joni mitchells blue album playing at the beginning…

one of my favorite singers and obviously hers too…

sunlight streamed through the entire time to just light up her coffin..

after the people i was with wanted to attend the crematorium service…

i didn’t want too….. so stayed outside in the sun….

i didn’t feel close enough to be in there…

the hearse drivers waved to me as they drove off…

after i briefly attended the reception…

it was PACKED….no room to move practically…

i didn’t want to drink….

caught up with people i haven’t seen for a while and then walked home.

chilled….and did yoga.

your dresses should be tight enough to show your a women and loose enough to show your a lady

super sunny day!!!!!

it felt like the first day of spring and was glorious.

i went to my saturday meet as usual but in sandals and the taupe dress from ellis.

one of the gals there said  “another great dress”

and it is….thankyou ellis….i’m greedy and i want more…

after met jennie and wondered around the market….

bought a designer bottle for my filtered water i have wanted for ages…

it’s now filled in my fridge ready for summer and lunches…

also more clarins….bamboo scrub which is divine and hand cream.

jenni came back to mine for snacks and signed my depol papers for my new name…

wow…exciting….

then we did a hypnosis session which was really deep and i surfaced after she left…

i always feel so relaxed after it;s similar to having a massage.

beautiful day……..lots of people buying flowers.
