Technical difficulties...

Apologies all round...

I have been having some technical difficulties here and am going to sidelined for a few days of sporadic reading and posting...I'll try to check in as often as I can.
I have several days worth of blog reading to catch up on.
In the meantime...enjoy your weekend!

Partners in grime...saving $$

Meet the big guns

partners in grime...

they work for me

I employ them 24/7

and they perform

so well

that I am sharing them with you

Lovely scent

tough on grime and skin friendly

my gardening hands 

are a testiment to their tender ways

saves money

it's dispenses foamy soap

you mix 1/3 liquid soap 

then add 2/3 water

agitate

and voila!

I am saving money for pearls... :)

Gadget I resisted but now embrace...

...it's functional.
I never knew what I was missing until I got hold of one myself.
It completetly transformed my cooking
of rice...

I had resisted..

Hostess of very few gadgets and kitchen aides

I employ sharp knives

cutting boards

 Kitchenaid, Le Creuset pots and a cooker

Lovely daughter suggested this and I said pshaw...

I can cook this any day in a pot with no trouble whatsoever...

it's only a marketing ploy to part us from our money

little did I know...

on closer inspection...

and rice perfecto mundo every time

I can embrace change

add a gadget

I am a fan

and it was only $10 at a garage sale

We have been enjoying veggie stir frys

the Bungalow Garden is bountiful 

and I am happy to say

that I change my spots...

at least when it comes to modcons and rice cookers...

sometimes I feel that I am stubborn and resist change..

Blighty this one's for you...

I'm Really Not Just A Waitress 

Base/Top Coat and

Peru B Ruby

O.P.I.

These toe thingamagigs hurt!

 a drum roll s'il vous plait...

A balancing act!


I want to share something that makes me smile every time I see it...
Ava..
it's not new...
pure sweetness...
and if it doesn't put a smile on your face I don't know what will.

Land's End...Bathing suit-able for a woman of a certain age.

Polka dots

lots of spandex to keep the wobbly bits stable

built in bra 

 custom sized

lined

ample coverage

slightly shirred at sides

deeper V to elongate

wide straps for support 

black because it has a slimming effect

dots because you need a bit of fun

a cover up to minimize sun exposure

allows for a wee bit of modesty

at my age I am not looking for attention

 nor do I want to have the tongues wagging

or fingers pointing in my direction!

I'd rather blend in gracefully

I do not wear my swimsuit often

but I do love to swim in the heat of summer

in the water

 I wear this one

from Lands End

 LOOK they have a sale!

Happy Shopping.

Sale-away... Cargo... Shoes...

I went to the shops today...

I was in a mood to browse

I did more than browse

I bought

the prices were attractive

40% off these...

Beachy and Boaty

not beautiful

rather...purposeful

waterproof

good for gripping

and not slipping 

when it's wet

 because a girl can never have too many black shoes

tip toe-ing in ballerinas

ME TOO

butter soft leather with a padded shoe bed

happy feet!

and 50% off these...

Faded blue cargo pants

boat worthy

would

 Katherine Hepburn

wear these?

partnering up with these will be a variety of white tees

and possibly my Bretonne stripe

they look short in this image but they are actually ankle length!

If you cruise the sales, what beckons you first?

I am reeled in by the shoe department!

Hook, Line, and Sinker!

Happy Sale-ing!
