Just call me the Universe

I celebrated my 34th birthday on Saturday.  Hmmm, getting close to 35. Yet I still feel 12 in my head! Does that ever change?

I received some sweet presents from kind people. I hadn't asked for anything- there are things I'd like but I don't like to ask really and was trying not to acquire more, I have more than enough than I could ever need.  I received: some beautiful patterned bowls from CBC which I have long admired as pretty in Waitrose with some nice cooking oils- sesame seed and Tamari; a Scrabble mug and mint tea from N; some tea mugs, hairclips, green tea and a Grumpy Carebear onesie from my Mum; £50 ASOS voucher from WOMOTM, some nice pens and a sudoko book from my work colleague, a red sparkly beaded bracelet from my friend M, some soaps from my Godmother.  I also received some pretty cards in the post too!

CBC made me a lovely fried breakfast and I had read my book in bed.

We headed off at about 2pm with N towards Colchester to go to Leisureworld which I previously mentioned is a fun swimming pool. We had great fun with flumes, lazy rivers, rapids and the suchlike.  Later, we headed back to N's house where he made pancakes and had lots of snacks and watched Cuban Fury with Nick Frost which was brilliant. I even managed to spot my Mum in it as she was an extra!  It was a nice chilled day and I had great fun so thanks to CBC and N for accompanying me.

Since it was a special day I decided to wear a new dress I'd bought some weeks ago with a Debenhams voucher- I'd wanted a galaxy skirt for ages but found this Red Herring galaxy dress for £7.70 in the sale which I thought was a good deal!  I almost got locked in at Debenhams Chelmsford for it!



It obviously was crying out to be a TARDIS Tuesday item since the opening credits of Doctor Who feature the space/time vortex and numerous scenes of the galaxy exploding are integral parts of the programme and storylines.

What to wear it with though?  Well, it was obviously a wintry day so I added a black polo neck underneath and my ubiquitous black opaque tights.  How to finish the look?   Well, since the whole outfit was about stars and the galaxy, it seemed necessary to wear my gold sparkly crown that Crown and Glory sent me as my birthday present as part of my Glitterati box this month. I can't help but think it alludes to The Angels take Manhattan,  a Matt Smith Doctor Who episode in which the Statue of Liberty comes alive and is after Rory and Amy.  It is very StatueofLibertyesque!

The final touches were: my hand-painted star boots and the piece-de-resistance- a working telescope necklace I bought a while back- star-gazing anyone?
