And dressing up etc, pampering myself, I have had a little go at that (baths, candles etc!). I think you are doing really well, no-one and nothing is perfect that is what I tell myself.

I seem to remember pledging to finish all current projects before starting anything new and I am knitting like a banshee (if they knit) - something with a school deadline. <BR/>And why shave your legs if it's too cold to wear a skirt?

However, have adopted one of yours - cooking something new - if not every week, then more often than before. Did a lovely tandoori whole roast chicken this week and a slightly-less-than-successful aubergine dish the week before, so thanks for your inspiration. Looking forward to seeing how your gardening progresses.<BR/><BR/>LBD xxLITTLE BROWN DOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752176955139690523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-81514005409130728382008-02-07T21:28:00.000+00:002008-02-07T21:28:00.000+00:00Certainly not bodran.

The glamour one made me laugh - I have started shaving my legs in earnest (winter pelt is starting to repulse me, never mind any other poor soul who gets a flash of hairy ankle beneath my jeans!) and I bought some fantastic fully-fashioned stockings from an American site. Alas, I find have no suspender belt, so they remain in their packet.
