TARDIS Thursday- Day of the Doctor Clara

 I had an awful headache lasting from Sunday evening to Wednesday morning and I couldn't face a computer screen so TARDIS Thursday it is, instead of Tuesday! I also had a first rehearsal for The Rite of Spring which I am playing with the Orchestra of the City in Holborn on Friday 19th July (if anyone is interested!).  It was really exciting! It is such a difficult and interesting piece to play and I am playing the Alto flute part which, to me, actually seems the best part out of all FIVE flute parts as I get solos but none of the dreadfully difficult high stuff! Admittedly, I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have done with a stonking great headache but I did have a nice little treat as I bought a battered sausage from the nearby chippy to eat just before (I'd had some salad and fruit plus marmite on bread) and the guy threw in a little scoop of chips with it which was really kind!

Anyway, onto a TARDIS Tuesday which last featured in October 2021.  It hasn't changed since my last two permutations except I switched in some different black boots.

Let's look at this very 90's looking outfit:

And here's my 2024 rendition:
The main element of the outfit is yet another red garment for TT- it's the 3rd week in a row with red as the main feature!
The red dress is from River Island and really needed an iron!
I added a black belt and Clara's Topshop boots from some other outfits. I didn't bother with the SA boots.  Considering slowly discarding all my uncomfortable Clara shoes- I already sold 2 pairs!
My jacket is from Barbour but hers is Belstaff. I like this one well enough!

I like this outfit very much and it's a nice Summer outfit- if I wear the dress with leggings rather than tights and sandals rather than boots! I'm wearing a tiny horseshoe necklace which I bought from eBay a long time ago!

This Friday, I am taking my Drumming Club to a interschool festival, this Thursday we have an author coming to visit the school and this weekend, CBC and I are going to Northumberland and Scotland for Chase the Sun North. He will cycle the 205 miles from Whitley Bay to Ayr and I shall attempt it by Pubic transport! Ahrgh!  We have to get to Whitley Bay at around 11 at night and then he has to get up at 4am or earlier to get to the start line. YUCK!

Hope all is well with you.

My day was good today  as my Year 3's had a jolly, well-behaved lesson in which they composed and performed their own recorder roads melodies and the year 2's enjoyed learning about Benjamin Britten's opera, Peter Grimes, listening to two of his sea interludes, Dawn and the Storm and then learning a song with contrasting verses about the sea and creating Dawn and Storm interlude music in between.  They seemed to be having a great time!

Hope you are well.

  1. That sounds like quite the adventure you and CBC are off on! Good luck!

    You look amazing in red, Kezzie - love the whole outfit! I do that with ultra-short dresses and shorts - give me a pair of tights!

  2. Boo about the terrible extended headache! Wow your weekend sounds amazing!!! I shall be thinking of you both as you tackle this challenge ðŸĐ·. I’m still enjoying the Kate Shackleton mysteries and I find lovely little touches from you such as London train tickets used as book marks 🙂. I’ve also found a way of reading that means I can hold the plot line in my head - I read morning and evening. When I only read of an evening I couldn’t retain the information from the previous night and had quite literally lost the plot 😂ðŸĪŠ. Long Covid the gift that keeps on giving 🙄 xx

  3. You look good in the outfit, but I think you need to model it for us in summer mode! (though it's too hot here for leggings in summer)

    I feel for you with the headache. I had one for a couple of days earlier in the week.

  5. I'm so sorry to hear about the headache!
    Chase the Sun North sounds quite challenging, both for you and for CBC. Getting up at 4 am is no fun either. We got up that early when we set out to the UK!
    The red dress is very cute on you! xxx
