Me-Made June, Day 24 I don’t know if you can tell but it is blowing a gale!  Happily the temperature is still quite warm (12C-23C, if you’re interested…)  A perfect washing day! It’s a pity, because I had my hair…

On planning your outfit…

23/06/201115/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized14 Comments on On planning your outfit…

Another important day today; it is our oldest son’s birthday!  Which also makes this the anniversary of our last half a day as a coupla dinks…  (double-income-no-kids, remember those 90’s acronyms?)  I have made Tim something for his birthday, and…
