Sheltering

Another day of heavy showers and grey skies up here in the frozen north. The Beast of Satan was taken back to the garage and the window fixed but the mechanic now informs me we have an oil leak....another trip on another day no doubt. Gym at lunchtime. Apparently our fitness is improving. Tell that to my thighs.

Add the sweaty dampness and the dampness of the day together and it was all in all a bad hair day. My hair only needs to sniff a raindrop to begin forming a soggy wavy fuzz on my head. Not a good look

After tea I decided it was time to deal with a few niggly things on my special occasion to do list. This one was "try on the dress with the shoes" As I suspected its too long. Higher shoes are not an option, sadly. I am already pushing it with my 3/4 inch heels on the ones I have. The terrain for the do is much more suited to wellies/walking shoes or trainers. I can see myself being stretchered off. Oh to have longer legs, just for one day :) I shall have to pack it up and take it to town to be shortened. Another thing added to the to do list then :) Seems to be the way of it :)

The weather has been so grim that even the bees are taking shelter in the sodden umbrella like flower of the foxgloves.
