1. Need I say, that Lindy-hop dance (and in fact swing dance in general- the shag and charleston too!) have been the highlight of my week! Here I am dancing with a lovely old chap who kindly dances with me every time I see him despite him being really good and me being not so!)
2. Finally wearing my birthday dress- the Cath Kidston train dress I hoped for (with a red petticoat underneath!). However, then our eyes met across a crowded dance room and we noticed we were wearing the same dress! We laughed lots and couldn't resist the opportunity for a twin photo! Also, Char was wearing hers on Saturday too I think!!!!)
3. Making really nice meals to come home to this week: Salmon teriyaki with sweet potato mash with peas and sweetcorn on Monday (plus chinese leaf cabbage which I unfortunately consumed before plating!). Wednesday- chicken fillet with chives and roasted with leeks, roast potatoes, (and again, sweet corn and chinese leaf cabbage was consumed beforehand as I was in a hurry!). A shame my camera battery died tonight as I had a smashing Chipolata, onion and tomato bake with boiled potatoes (with butter) and you've guessed it- chinese leaf cabbage (and peas!) with oodles of coriander on top
4. Coriander! Oh how I adore it! It amused me greatly that as soon as I had left the Self-service checkout at Tescos, I greedily ate handfuls of the plant, much to the bemusement of shoppers entering the shop! It's quite fun being weird sometimes! Excuse Mr Aloe Vera who wanted in on the photo action!
5. Over the top blingie jewellery inspired by Kate Middleton ring (Peacocks and Primark respectively) which prompted loads of 'Diana and Kate' comments. Oh and finding a hat (handknitted by friend) in my collection that hasn't been shared on this blog (actually there are still a few that haven't! Despite the fact I've shown about 45 on her)
What has made you happy this week???

The print on that dress is fabulous but how funny to see someone else in the same frock! x
ReplyDeleteYou both look brilliant in that dress, but I would be hopping mad to find someone else wearing the same outfit as me!
ReplyDeleteThe dancing classes sound so good, guess you must be having a ball ;) x
Yay for train dress twins!! I wore mine on Sunday in the manor house :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely week. I bet dancing is such fun, and that dress would only enhance the fun factor!
ReplyDeleteI won again at bowling last night, so I'm in the Final Four of our playoffs - highlight of my week!
Love the dress [I'd wear with HER blue cardi, and YOUR red belt!]
ReplyDeleteDancing Kezzie!!! I love the dancing pictures, you look like you are having so much fun! Happy weekend my dear!
ReplyDeleteWell done with the dancing and I love that dress! X
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you both look fabulous in that dress. I'm not a fan of Cath Kidson but this one I like.
ReplyDeleteNot with you on the coriander I'm afraid but I might have to try chinese leaf cabbage!
Love the dress pattern, looks like you had great fun at your class, I'd love a go. xx
ReplyDeleteHi my dear-you both look amazing in the Cath Kidson dress, what's the odds on that!! Your meals soound so delicious too! Have a good week xxx
ReplyDeletewhat a fun week. Great dresses, dancing and delicious foods sounds good. I'm just writing my week 12 post, covering Monday 18th to today and I think you started at the same time as me (roughly) so today (ish) would be your week 12?? It doesn't really matter though, just call them whatever week you think, hehe!
ReplyDeleteYes, I do always think that rock looks like a man. I'm sure that formation actually has a name but I can't remember what it is or where I read it and I can't find out via google. I'm hoping it'll just come to one day, but I've been waiting a long time!
