Princess Jasmine trousers and a cute true story.

So I'm walking down the home baking aisle in the supermarket and I pass a mother with a young daughter sitting in her trolley.

"Mummy?" says the little girl. "Why is that lady wearing Princess Jasmine trousers?"

The little girl is referring to me. I am wearing very hippy, green trousers gathered at the ankles that do indeed look like Princess Jasmine trousers. Her mother tries to shush her, aware that I am in earshot. Then I hear the girl whisper something.

"She looks like a Disney Princess..."

I smile. It makes my day.

Today was one of those none days. I had so much planned. I went for a stroll in the morning to a local beach, got rained on and then felt sick so I've spent the rest of the day sleeping and stuffing my face with comfort food.

I'm going to read a book and hope for betterness tomorrow! :)

An unfortunate turn of events.

You know when you get all in the bloggy mood and suddenly something happens that scuppers all your plans. Yeah? Uh huh...THAT. So it turns out the Mister has promised some friends of ours that when he sees them next weekend he'll film a music video for them and since our video cam is out of order my DSLR steps up to the plate and since he's going to London for work right this second...it'll be a long week ahead. I'm having a difficult time coming to terms with being separated from it and I'm feeling particularly huffy right now. I had a week of baking and photography adventures to the old Victorian pier where I live and I really wanted to document it all on my nice camera.

So let's do an about turn and create something positive out of my lack of decent camera, making next week...

 Oh yeah!! I'll document everyday next week with my lovely Twitter machine/phone. Kind of getting more excited about this as I type so perhaps this is a good turn of events. And I'm not afraid to pull stupid faces and make an ass of myself (well documented in the photo above?!) Perhaps I'll throw in a vlog or two for good measure too.

I'll see you tomorrow, Bloggeroo's.

Upcoming and quick catch up.

Yes...you are right in thinking the blog has changed AGAIN. I liked the last design but I thought it was sort of cold with just mint and white so I've tried to warm it up a bit! It's still in progress. I'm trying to get little bits of design done every so often.

I'm finally getting to a calm place after the craziness of the Christmas/New Year period. Productivity shall prevail. The Mister is away for work next week so I'm planning on doing some cooking practice in between the more boring task of sorting our accounts. Accounts are a necessary evil! (I can't spell necessary...I had to google check it! Ha!)I've been looking through some recipe books and have come up with a list of things I want to try out...

*Root vegetable crisps
*Scotch eggs
*Breaded scampi
*Cornish pasties (food of my homeland!)
*St Clements cake
*Earl Grey Tea Loaf
*Scones
*Welsh cakes (food of my adopted homeland!)
*Smashed honeycomb

 I actually made these scones over Christmas and they were yummy! Looking forward to making them again and eating them with strawberry jam and clotted cream. This is making me so hungry so I'm going to run off and make foooood.

Later, Bloggeroo's
