Last night C's brother and his wife and children came over for dinner and we made sushi and I baked cupcakes. Very delicious;



When I was seven I really wanted a violin, and my dad, who lived alone in a housing commission flat on government payments bought me one (probably with some help from my mum), however I never got lessons or learned how to play, and now the violin is too small for me. C's eight year old niece has wanted to play violin for about a year and I finally got it back this week from a friend who had borrowed it, so I donated it to eight year old Elly for as long as she'll play it.


^ I don't do outfit photos very often, but this is what I wore when C and I went out on Thursday night. I realised that all of my clothes are too old for me to remember where they were from!


^ These are all of my red shoes; L-R Portland, Sportsgirl, Havaianas, Diana Ferrari, Betts, no name and I Love Billy.


^ I bought some cute tape airmail tape last week from Pretty Tape.
