I've lived here for years and still can't find my way around.<br /><br />@Shannon<br />let me know if you make the jam!<br /><br />@Veronica<br />I hope you like them-I suspect most fruit does well roasted-rhubarb works nicely too. I asked Danny is the idea of a wig bothered him as much as a hair brooch and he made a face, so I guess that's a yes. <br /><br />@Emily<br />I'm so glad you liked it. I can see the roasted grapes getting a plum, note, particularly if you used black grapes. I haven't smelled Poison in years, but I remember it being very heavy in the plum.

It was divine! It tasted very similar to how Christian Dior Poison smells. <br /><br />I think I'll put a few spoonfuls of the grapes in my oatmeal tomorrow. <br /><br />Thanks for suggesting this recipe. It will become an autumn staple for me.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-1049157897262947832020-09-14T10:09:24.876-07:002020-09-14T10:09:24.876-07:00Hello Goody!

Love the humongous earrings, the fish bag and the green and red 70s jewellery. I also loved your mourning brooch - don't listen to Danny.<br /><br />The new glasses are very cool. I meant to buy a pair online and then get my prescription lens fitted into them; but completely forgot and went straight to the opticians...<br /><br />Take care and I hope you cool down and get some rain soon!<br />xxxVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-50702246127778522082020-09-14T08:59:45.060-07:002020-09-14T08:59:45.060-07:00"Bitch I'm from Chicago" made me lau..."Bitch I'm from Chicago" made me laugh out loud.

Just coping with the stress of life right now is hard - it's more draining than we all realise, I think. <br /><br />Those glasses are great. I have an approachable face too, it's like a curse - I'm always being stopped by lost tourists in Bath for directions. Here's hoping that squary is scary.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-91732109252405115982020-09-09T17:53:31.844-07:002020-09-09T17:53:31.844-07:00@Beth

Ah well, glad to hear you've avoided the worst of it. Maybe with proper safety protocols the tourist season can go on? Knowing what we know now about masks and distancing might help. Fingers crossed for you. <br /><br />@Vix<br />Oh no! I was looking forward to us having matching shades ;) Maybe you'll find another pair. <br /><br />@Ann<br />It gets harder to drag out of bed in the dark, that's for sure. I hope you have an easier time of it this winter without doing a daily commute in darkness. <br /><br />@Emily<br />Thank you. I've been trying to decide what to do with my hair and it seems like the best answer is to leave it alone. <br />The novel is slogging along. There's an end in sight, but man-it was ambitious to write something this "Out there."<br /><br />@Arlene<br />Thank you!<br /><br />@Beate<br />Thank you. I've only ever had bad (cheap) vodka, so I'm not sure if I'd like it better if it didn't begin life as potatoes! Someday, I'll have to experiment. <br />Stay safe-I already know you're sane!Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-53490535805849155712020-09-08T07:15:09.429-07:002020-09-08T07:15:09.429-07:00yummy bread and beautiful pasta!!

It always makes me smile (and sometimes laugh out loud at some of the things you say). And who doesn't need that now? Huh? Yeah, everyone. Thank you! I never post anything here but I just had to tell you that. Your blog is the best! Arlene from NJ Yeah, I'm from NJ, but I'm nothing like Snookie from the beach (tv show). We're not all like that.

I want the world to (safely) open up again so you can wear that ensemble to some place fancy, like the opera or the ballet. An outfit that beautiful deserves to be admired in public. You'd be the envy of every woman there. <br /><br />Thanks for your tips on freezing runzas. I'm going to make them next week. I'm also going to try the roasted grapes. We're in the middle of a heat wave ourselves, but knock on wood, by mid-September we'll have normal autumn weather so all this roasting and baking won't compete with the hot sun. <br /><br />Congrats on the new Lapidus sunglasses and the Georgian stickpin. Your hair is truly beautiful in the floor photo. I think if I were to sprawl out on the floor, my husband would assume I've had too many cocktails and would not bring me another, LOL. <br /><br />Thanks for yet another blog entry. They're such great fun to read. Keep up the good work on your novel too. I can't wait for that to come out.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-71590742761076590912020-09-07T10:21:20.503-07:002020-09-07T10:21:20.503-07:00I can't believe how the light has changed in s...I can't believe how the light has changed in such a short space of time. It was still quite dark when I got up this morning - very noticeable if one has been accustomed to lie-ins for a week - and while we were away, it was pitch dark by 9 pm. The sourdough bread looks fantastic, and I'm loving your new frames. What a steal! Your hair looks fabulous in the floor photo, and it's a toss up between your red Mexican dress and that embroidered waistcoat for my favourite of your outfits! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-78558245751043967602020-09-07T01:37:08.897-07:002020-09-07T01:37:08.897-07:00I had those Ted Lapidus sunglasses in blue and whi...I had those Ted Lapidus sunglasses in blue and white for years, they ended up being held together with glue - the last pair perished when I met up with Ann & Jos! <br />Liking the sound of the oven-cooked grapes.

...On the floor photo: But your hair looks fabulous!<br />I feel like gin & a juice box myself, come to think of it.<br />That scrummy sourdough loaf looks fantastic!<br />The crazy weather this year has made gardening impossible here - flood & landslide warnings daily too.<br />Oxford University studies that predicted 50,000 deaths in the "best-case scenario" here in Nepal have luckily been way off. So far we have only 289 deaths and 46,257 cases. There have been riots in Kathmandu as people are upset at not being able to celebrate their festivals. I did not know the Nepalese army had water cannons - but I do now! The Kathmandu valley is still under complete lockdown and taking a severe economic toll. I can't imagine they can keep Nepal's international borders closed past the opening of tourist season on October 1. As Beth says, the never-ending stupidities are working my nerves. It seems we all have the most incompetent people doing the most important things in this world.Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-40212606426891843172020-09-06T09:43:35.828-07:002020-09-06T09:43:35.828-07:00If I can figure out the tech, I'm going to pri...If I can figure out the tech, I'm going to print out the floor photo (with the HAIR!), add your caption, "Bitch, I'm from Chicago", and frame it.<br />It will be hung in my study beneath the photo of a rain-bedraggled owl which bears a quote from Cornelius Talbot: "I am tired of acquiring wisdom. Somebody bring me a drink and a whoopie cushion."<br />It's the heat. And the plague. And the news of never-ending stupidities. And the hungry ghosts of the ancestors that lurk in boxes. And teeth, especially teeth.<br />Like the looks of that Onion-Port Marmalade receipt! Just the thing for reciprocal gifting to those hunters who give me venison or pork. (The woods are alive with deer and feral pigs -- and bow hunters.)<br />Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.com
