Granny squared!

Greetings!  Ahrgh, 2 days back at school feels like a week!!! Mainly because there were train strikes on both days meaning I got to school at 9.30am and 9.00am respectively! Wasn't a good start to term having no time to get ready! That said, it wasn't too bad (except a year 2 lesson being observed by a student teacher. Went terribly- kids half asleep and annoying).    Lesson were fine and I had a nice first session of choir. We are preparing for our concert at the Royal Albert Hall and I thought I had 26 children but I've had a spate of late admissions so I am up to 32 now and they are sweet and enthusiastic. We started learning a really cute song in the style of Mozart called 'Alla Carte' which is a round.  As I was walking down the corridor on Friday afternoon, my favourite class (14 of whom are in choir...) were all getting their stuff. One of the girls was standing in the door way and I tapped her on the shoulder and sang, "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart..."- to which, without missing a beat, she replied, "Had a lovely little Go-Kart!" whilst grinning at me! It was funny!

Here's an outfit to go with the waffle (and a glamorous shot of my dressing gowns hanging up)

I hadn't paired together this assortment of items before so I thought it was worthy of a blogshare.

You've seen the skirt before, just before Christmas- Indian vintage skirt from the charity shop- decided to do a Vix and wear my Summer skirts with thick things underneath. I wore it with a black Primark ribbed turtle neck and a fairly new purchase- a second hand crocheted Granny Square waistcoat from from Depop. I have been after one for a while but only wanted second-hand and very fussy over colours. It's lovely and cosy and great to add as an extra layer over a jumper or dress.

 It needed some fun coloured accessories so I wore my Nickat Sequin necklace and my Lorelai LQ bubble-envelope heart earrings (all her earrings are made out of repurposed plastics and materials and her site currently has 20% with a code HAPPY2023- she's currently having worries about paying her tax bill from last year so if you fancy some fun eco-friendly, colourful earrings, go and have a look- they are wonderfully light!).

I've achieved very little today- not really sure where the day has gone- disaster!!! So much work to do!

Hope that all is well with you all!
