Hot morning in the grasses


Went for a walk this morning along the bike path, past a lake that is a bird sanctuary.  Accordingly Sienna was leashed, something this spoilt pooch is becoming fast unaccustomed to.  She pulled us along like a freight train doing the midnight run!

I made these shorts for this summer, from Burda 7723 out of white linen, with added rear pockets for back view interest.  When a woman reaches a “certain age” one’s rear view unfortunately becomes less than exciting…  I sewed on scraps of fabric leftover from my dress of two days ago, and a sparkly ribbon sewn down randomly across the whole back, plus a tiny knitted square I had hanging around my sewing basket.  No idea what it was doing there, but stuck it on anyway.
Another very hot day in the offing; so will keep things quiet and easy, probably go to the beach and try to meet up with our good friends who are down here also.  Definitely not ruling out a smoothie at Samudra either.  I think fish and chips on the beach might be the order of this evening. Accompanied by a G&T?  Or two?  Oh, behave!
