My hair is its own island

Its been a busy weekend, me and Mr Foxy sneaked out on Friday to 'discuss' our holiday- nothing to discuss, we are staying in a yurt in Wales, it's going to rain, the toilets are 50 metres away from the yurt, (compost toilets, don't even know what they are), solar showers, cooking facilities on a bus, it's our usual type of holiday.  Problem is this year I wouldn't mind a bit of electricity.


So sneaky, we so bad
Cookie (I'm trying to get her to pose)
She left, offended
 

Saturday, the car keys got lost (double -pah) while we were out, shamefully whilst we were looking for the keys I slipped into a charity shop to buy a pair of shoes (£2, couldn't leave them) I was dressed (in my warped mind)inspired by Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde but as there was a little drama I didn't get a photo.

Today
my hair, every once in a blue moon, just works, it behaves and actually looks like I want it.  I was a little bit chuffed (hairdressers are even at a loss with it, once I went and a rather fabulous manageress type ordered my hairdresser to GIVE IT VOLUME, I left with a small cloud on my head and never went back) I cut my hair, which is probably why its a bit messy.
 I thought this dress was appropriate for today


it was the Knowsley Flower show, the usual stuff, dog shows, kids performing karate, morris dancers, rain, getting over charged by food vendors (me 'how much?' complain, complain)
Margi Clarke (Liverpool actress)
Nan scarf and a shocking bag

I'm off to start the packing
its extensive
everything from a tin opener to socks
and it takes a week

I have to love and leave you
take care

    Getting kittens to pose is notoriously hard work and often results in failure. Well done for trying though. Margi Clarke is still going? Well, I never!

    Compost loos are ace, you'll soon get used to them. Wales was glorious yesterday - I'm hoping it stays that way for both you and for The Green Man in a fortnight! You look gorgeous and Margi Clarke's still got it!
    Cats, so disobedient! xx

    EEP! Loving that blue floral frock!!! SO sweet and Queenie like with the scarf!
    A yurt! In Wales?! Craziness! Don't start drinking yak butter tea on us, will you love?!
    Electricity is always a bonus, but luckily you don't need it for red wine.........

    Look at Margi, haven't seen her in a while, she's a good strong woman!
    Love your hair, and the pretty frock. Ha, I remember my mum wearing a headscarf like that when I was little, why doesn't anyone do that anymore?
    The yurt sounds fine, just take plenty of alcohol and all will be well. Fingers crossed for the weather, love! xxx

    thanks huni, the alcohol will be essential and a bucket (for the just in cases *ahem*)I may get a plastic £1 headscarf the chemists have! I have a thing about hoods, I don't do them even though my 'delightful' holiday raincoat has one x

    Only Vix would say compost loos are ace! I'd think if you get a loo in a yurt you are ahead of the curve. A cat who listens, no way never old that happen.
