Autumn is certainly sniffing about here, despite some scorching temperatures in the last week.

It is so important to live one's life in extraordinary ways since that makes every day special and unique....after all today will never return and Life is not a dress rehearsal.<br /><br />And, how touchingly you wrote in your previous post about the death of a friend. It is so true that we drift apart from people some times and one really wished that one had stayed in touch. However, some friendships are of the time or place and can be reimbursed fondly in that regard. Friends are terrifically important and should, as you write, be cherished.<br /><br />We shall sign as Followers when our computer allows. It will be good to keep in touch with your adventures.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-77578182084783208242014-02-22T02:52:33.930-08:002014-02-22T02:52:33.930-08:00Short skirts + legs out +boots = a winning combo a...Short skirts + legs out +boots = a winning combo and one I swear by in winter. It's a way of avoiding all that bunching up that happens with long skirts and tights under a coat, which you then have to pull out when nobody is looking. You look great in this outfit, and there's nothing dull about it. I vote for it to stay in Sheffield! I've missed out on this lustfest that is the Voice. Are they really all that hot? Do I need to do a bit of action replay?

I'm certain you were a good friend. <br /><br />I know from experience (my former husband is bi-polar) that proximity doesn't necessarily help the person who's suffering. I feel your sadness and I hurt for those around your friend too. I hope they can heal from this tragedy.<br /><br />In the meantime, we laugh/cry/hug/commiserate/put one foot in front of the other and have some tea or a cocktail. I think it's the children that keep us going sometimes. I know that's been true for me. A little thrifting doesn't hurt either.<br /><br />I smiled when I saw your dress (which I love!). In the late 60's I made a dress very similar, only it was a red-ish tartan. I even lined it. I wore it with black tights and ribbon-laced flats that I wish I still had. My boyfriend at the time had spent 2 years in the UK and was very unlike the other boys in my school. He was a good soccer player and I spent many afternoons watching him play. <br /><br />You look beautiful. I love seeing your backyard with signs of spring. I wish I had a cat, too.

And in fact,I was wearing a bunny jumper at school 2 weeks ago and to my horror, two girls (one in year3, one in year 4) both told me, "I've got that jumper!!".
