Highlights from Mongolia - Sydney is looking rather boring

A little felt bag

I thought I would show you this little bag that I made from wool - then felted.

activities

hey kitty,

just a wee post to update you on new activities I am engaging in over here in wintery London.

like i mentioned in the last post, i have joined a book club. last week we did lady chatterlys lover. it was great - we did talk about penises, but also lots more highbrow topics.

also, i have joined a choir...




... not that kind of choir!

a community choir, so a bit more like this...



... i went to my first practice last night and it was surprisingly fun. there were lots of lovely people and we sang this song...



i thoroughly enjoyed myself. the choir is called The East London Soul Singers. we are doing a christmas concert in a mall - excellent.

ok bye.

The last two weeks

have been baking, dressing up, cycling. the weather gets colder and we wear more wool. the cold wind gives me a headache and i buy earmuffs. i have joined a book club, we read lady chatterlys lover and when i read it on the bus i cover the rude bits with my hand so the person next to me doesn't think i'm a pervert. it's nice when we talk about the book, it's invigorating to discuss something other than x-factor on the telly.

so here are some pics from my last couple of weeks. i am trying a 1940's thing at the moment.

as always... i miss you x

autumn days

so it's late september and the air is chilling slightly over here in london town. the days are clear, crisp and sunny. it's time for wool and tweed. here's my first official autumn look for your viewing pleasure.





in this outfit today we went to brick lane and i bought a leather pencil skirt... trust me! i can make it work. we ate pad thai and went couch shopping and lay in the park on our jackets in the sunshine. sandy drank peronis and i drank ice tea. we ate chips and then walked home hand in hand.

miss you xxx

ears and eyes

hey c,

sorry i haven't replied to your info-filled email. i was delighted to receive it - but i have been super unwell with some horrible ear infection. my ears are crackly and i feel like i'm wandering around in a bubble. it sucks big time.

anyways during my recuperation i have been sewing up a storm and have finished by first piece on the new sewing machine:

nyc

ok, so i think i will just keep writing... perhaps you will post one day when you have internet... or not - anyway for now this can be my audio/visual diary for you.

so i'm back in london. i went to nyc and it was amazing and dirty and hot and i got sick, but still had some good times. here is my collage for you to see the things i saw while i was there. it was rad.





nanny, out.
