THE SUMMER OF THE UNKNOWN

A hello to everyone. The summer as simply flown by so quickly. Well we had no chance to take a trip , the plan was to start on some projects around the place. Our first BIG project was to get a a small pool built . Well needless to say we hit a big snag! Also the fact I still needed to get the second vaccine, so was no way I was heading out anywhere till that was done.

The GREAT Pool project

Yes it was all planned to be done this summer in time for a splash party. Needless to say it came to a grinding halt when the digger hit a old , old tree stump that was buried under the grass . So part of the grass was dug out and part left, It was quite a mess. So plan B is to make it smaller, go with the original idea. or setup in different spot. Options are limited , so will have to see what happens. Such is life.

GARDENING

The spring was so hot this year many plants seemed to wither in the heat

I started some sweet peas to late seemed to grow but no flowers and now they have stopped and leaves are

are going pale and sickly. Sadly no sweet peas this summer.

How was your summer?

Pockets please!!/ fashion

Well as the title says…. Pocket s please! This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything. Why??? When I think back there usually were pocket inserts nicely sewn on inside of slacks or dresses. Now you rarely find that . I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in. Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets. Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets. Do you like outfit with pockets?

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...
