... or, in English, the house is my bitch.

I have got up at a reasonable time this morning (9ish), found clean clothes that I like (the ankle-length thigh-slit satin skirt isn't practical but it is lovely), and Done Useful Things. I have made a list of things I need to get done, and begun doing them. Top of the list was sorting out clothes-drying facilities, as the dryer-bit of our washer-dryer is broken (and will get fixed sometime next week when we can afford it). So I found the hooks left over from putting the blind up, and the nails, and the hammer, and installed a hook at each end of the bath, and found the string, and now we have a mini-washing line which can be unhooked as required. I have also put the concertina-clothes-horse on *top* of the washer-dryer, which is currently pulled out of its space, and so the entire load of clothes is happily drying away - and I have blocked the bathroom door so the cat cannot get in and fluff all over them.

I have made myself delicious lunch - a potato, tuna, spring onion and butter-bean salad with pepper and a little reduced-fat mayonnaise - and after lunch I will get to work clearing my sewing table and make a start on Robert's patched coat.

I love the image of you doing DIY in a satin skirt :) I have a small DIY queue, but I think I need to throw some things out first so I have space to do it.

Excellent :)

It was made out of a massive square scarf a few years ago. It's wine-red with small gold butterflies in a regular pattern all over it, and I'm wearing a black top with a mandarin collar with it :)

foxilicious skirt.

and yay to the house sorting. i have much to do of that ilk. and cunning drying hook set up. at the moment i am using the shower rail as a place to hang things, but it has fallen down before (landing Nick's shirt in the toilet. hehe.)

any news on arrangements for the Tea Party day?

I should go and put on the knee-high black patent boots with 4-inch heels, and dominate the house to within an inch of its life :)

Yay! Do you want to come and do my house next? ;)

I was wondering whether you would be free to meet up in town one day this week? I can't do Thursday, but any other day is fine. I still have your silver net skirt, and a gold obi for you to look at!

[nannyo.livejournal.com]

you definitely should! I am being too much of my house's bitch at the moment. Sewing has exploded all over the living room.

I have been dithering stupidly about whether or not I actually have something to do on the Saturday. On reflection I think not and therefore a two-day stint of marvellousness would be in order. Will confirm asap. :)

Our shower-rail has also fallen down and I am too small to put it up properly!

[taimatsu]

Eeeee! Yes! How about Wednesday? I should be a little more sorted as regards having things to wear by then, but not yet into the final costume-making panic before the weekend. Where might we meet?

[claire-smith.livejournal.com]

Wednesday would be good!

How about the Broad Street Mall, upstairs in the food-court bit? Then we can have coffee or somesuch, and I can peek into the african hair shop regarding an IDEA which won't leave me alone. What sort of time would be good?

[taimatsu]

Mmm, lunchtimeish would work well for me. 12 or half-past?

[claire-smith.livejournal.com]

Half twelve would be good, I can catch a bus which coincides nicely. :)

See you Wednesday! :D

Gah - I know that feeling -I ransacked my sewing boxes before I went away this weekend.

I opted for relaxing and socialising with the hedge and trees yesterday, in leather sandals and a linen shift dress. They were rather taken by surprise when I attacked the nearest tree with an axe...
