OUT & ABOUT// lifestyle

HAPPY AUGUST EVERYONE!

Well the month of July has flown by with some interesting moments and a few not so fun ones.
But that is how it is - sometimes things happen we don't plan for or expect.

Besides the extra hot weather and a few outings it was an okay summer, but we plan a short trip  and are getting some visitors  this month . So I hope it wont be as hot.

From film fests, garden ideas and pool projects these are few things that were planned.

OUT & ABOUT
Some of things  I did check out  were the film fest around town, a nice way to spend the evening.
even then it was still fairly warm in the night.


FLOWER & MORE FLOWERS
The other thing I wanted to get done was adding a few more plants on the veranda.
                So we got a lovely lavender plant. Nothing like the fragrance of lavender, I only hope it grows and flowers , as it does need a lot of sun,  which is a problem here-  but  i think i found a spot that  works. Fingers X crossed.





DESIGNING
Another project is designing a enclosure for the backyard shower, yes we have simple
shower head in the back yard, which is great on hot summer days. Only thing it is
lacking a place to hold soap or  a towel other then hanging over a clothes line.
So that is one small summer project to finish (i hope).

We also are thinking about a small pool , something to soak in and cool off.
Nothing like a dip to cool off. After going to the local pools in the heat
and then getting back home,... well the idea to have one outside
sounded good. No more lawn to maintain, but then there is the
pool to maintain, but at least one gets pleasure from it.


POOL IDEAS



SO WHAT HAS YOUR SUMMER BEEN LIKE SO FAR, 
 ANY PLANS?

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
