Dotty Vintage

There’s a vintage shop near my workplace.  It’s actually not that near in that it’s quite a walk but it’s pleasant to stroll there during lunch (if the weather’s good that is) and spend half an hour browsing through all the musty clothes and dusty accessories.

They’ve got a rack full of 70s dresses and I bought this one yesterday.  Do you like it?

You can’t see from the first pic but it has little red dots all over it.  I’m really feeling dots lately so it called out to me.  It wasn’t expensive anyway and I am thinking how I can jazz it up with accessories and such to give it a contemporary twist.

We had a lovely dinner tonight: Indomie with green veg and some sui gaw (prawn dumplings) from GM’s grandfather’s shop.  Yum.

Food Diary

Breakfast – One bowl muesli

Lunch – Vegemite sandwiches, jam sandwiches

Snack – One Wispa bar (chocolate, kind of like a Flake but better)

Dinner – One packet Indomie with green veggies and lots of sui gaw

Drinks – English tea, water.  I only ever drink peppermint tea when I’m at work cos I can’t be bothered with buying milk and such there.  So if you notice when I’m at home on leave or on the weekends I never drink peppermint tea!

Exercise – None!

Flowers Flowers Everywhere

I think today was the hottest day of the year so far.  It felt like it anyway.

I was making a cheesecake this evening and as I was standing over the mixing bowl I suddenly realised that I was sweating like a pig.  But don’t worry, no perspiration got into my cake.  I’m a very clean cook and baker okay!

So having said all that, would it surprise you if I said that I just bought this coat?  Well I did!  It’s the sales over here and I saw this coat online and had to buy it.  It’s quite thin so it’ll have to be an autumn coat.  Can’t wait to wear it!  Although there’s a little problem in that it’s a bit too small for me but hopefully I will manage to slim into it.

The pattern of the coat up close.  I even love the lining, it’s so pretty!

Okay girls, in order to be able to fit into my coat by autumn time I am going on a health kick of exercising more and eating less, especially less junk food.  Which is why I will start a meme next week of “What I have eaten today” for a week.  I think it’ll be a good idea for me to write down everything that I eat in a day as a sort of food diary.  This will help me identify my food intake patterns and hopefully flag up what I need to change.  As well as probably shame me into eating less I suppose because I don’t think I’ll want to confess to a massive list of fatty foods!

Who wants to join me?!
