Hooray for Chinese tourists!
I can see Bijan...@Bibi<br />Hooray for Chinese tourists!<br />I can see Bijan on a man-it feels very unisex. <br /><br />@Connie<br />I should point out that the cupboards are very small-so it really is like one good-sized walk-in. I swear I'm not a hoarder!<br /><br />@Vix<br />I would fall over in a fit if I had to wear the same clothes two days in a row. *I have issues* (as the kids say). <br /><br />@Mim<br />Oh, that's really nice having the duck all tucked into fat in the fridge-it does make for a quick and luxurious meal, doesn't it? I made Mr. ETB a goose confit once, and it was so much work I'll never do it again...but he did enjoy it. Nice having the fat handy for potatoes too. <br /><br />I have never seen Heathers. I'm so pathetic. <br /><br />@Beth<br />Well, I'm *feeling* immobile...does that count? <br />Speaking of Macbeth, did you know you have to be 18 to check it out of our library because...wait for it... it is violent? True story. The librarian trying to check it out for Danny was stunned, but in the end I had to check it out for him. Sigh. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />Great! I'm pale as a ghost most days, so what's a bit of pink on my face? (That was oozing sarcasm, by the way). I've had it pretty easy for the most part, but in the last year migraines have really started to become troublesome. I can live with weight gain, and hot flashes, but the headaches are going to do me in. Thank goodness I don't get mood-swings (that was also dripping in sarcasm). <br /><br />I really don't have *that* many clothes-the rails are quite short, and I only have one small dresser. It sounds much worse than it is. <br /><br />I have a huge stomach, but I wear pleats anyway because I have no shame ;)Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-23856676603163129562016-02-11T10:33:10.639-08:002016-02-11T10:33:10.639-08:00You look very glam in your monochrome outfit! I lo...<br />You look very glam in your monochrome outfit! I love pleated skirts but they do nothing for me because of my fat tummy - sigh....<br /><br />I actually think the shorts look great on you - maybe its the plaid and the whole outfit is so 80s (I think); shoulder pads? Definitely 80s. Plaid shorts? Possibly, but I don't remember them.<br /><br />I love your red necklace, brooch and earrings and the velvet bag is so elegant. The pancakes look yummy - we didn't have any. OH made a Thai fish curry which was rather delicious.<br /><br />I was reading somebody's blog the other day who lives in Suffolk, I think, and they listed their bird tally from our Great Garden Bird Watch 30 - 31st Jan. I was astonished at the variety. I'm going to try and find it again and I'll copy and paste it and send it to you.<br /><br />As for clothes across 3 rooms - wow! I have a two storey wardrobe (I don't mean two house storeys! Just top and bottom rails) and the bottom storey of the wardrobe in the second bedroom; plus most of a cupboard next to the bathroom where I keep winter coats, walking gear and any long dresses. <br /><br />I would strongly recommend shopping your closet; it's such a good discipline and it makes you quite inventive or at least look at familiar items in a different way.<br /><br />PS - I have bad news for you re the hot flushes.. whisper...they don't stop post menopause. That's why I frequently have flushed cheeks/face in my photos and I'm 62 next month!<br /><br />xxx<br />Veronica<br />vronni60s.blogspot.comVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-76860097187167259942016-02-11T05:49:40.648-08:002016-02-11T05:49:40.648-08:00Whatever you call those goat cheese and mushrooms ...Whatever you call those goat cheese and mushrooms edibles, I'd call them delicious!<br /><br />I'm feeling a bit au contraire meself, so I'll vote for the shorts ensemble and against the pleated skirt. The shorts are classically right -- the pleated skirt belongs on a Grecian statue (i.e., an immobile figure). The 40s velvet bag is elegance encapsulated in shape and texture: I'm purring just thinking of moi carrying it with a long velvet dress, belted with that MacBeth belt. I'd pin the MacDuff broach on the bag or on my cloak. Just the outfit for a performance of the Scottish play!Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-32612410876669055992016-02-11T01:43:04.205-08:002016-02-11T01:43:04.205-08:00Mm, those pancakes look good.

I'd never have thought of making parcels and refrying; that's such a good idea.<br /><br />I second Connie's opinion - deffo a lot of Heathers in that second look.

I wish the menopause would get to me, I'm freezing.<br />Goat's cheese and mushrooms? I'm dying of hunger right now. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-53488257507074934192016-02-10T19:31:16.650-08:002016-02-10T19:31:16.650-08:00Three rooms of clothes???

Which one? Anyhoo. I love a pleated skirt. Yours is lovely. And those shoes are amazing. I want them. Good thing I live far away or I would help you unload a lot of your extra things. And that second outfit is pure "Heathers."Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938255518222756688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-66291413028518082342016-02-10T18:36:18.373-08:002016-02-10T18:36:18.373-08:00Looking very posh & classically classic.

I don't think those plaid shorts look unflattering at all, particularly with that long cardigan with shoulder pads.<br />I think I read somewhere that Sylvester Stallone wears Bijan.<br />Moving to Nepal put a damper on my "retail therapy" addiction, thrift or otherwise. I still can't keep track of what little I have left of my clothes collection.<br />The Chinese are here for their winter holidays!!! YAY!!! We haven't had any business for 8 months!<br /><br />http://calmlycookingcurry.blogspot.com/2016/02/anzac-biscuits.htmlBibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.com
