My other colleagues LOVED this sweater - I enjoyed telling them that the designer, Kensai Yamamoto, created some of David Bowie's most iconic looks. And he had a show at the V&A Museum (link here 'cause I love - you might recognize the black jumpsuit with the wide pants)!
We had torrential downpours all day. I got soaked both ways.
But only my outerwear! My hair, feet and clothes stayed dry (and yes, I walked to and from work in these boots).
Barnabas was also lurking around while I set the timer on my camera.
"Just open the bathroom door a crack..." "I love cuddling!"
I arrived home to find their water fountain pulled apart, a bulb missing from a string of lights (Barnabas brought it to me) and a power bar shut off. What the heck, boys?
The stuff:
Bold bling:
The boys were feeling playful after their destruction of the fountain and whatever they did with the power bar.
I found myself wanted a warmer scarf as I walked home with rain and wind lashing in my face. Everything there is wet.

Mom-Day is back tomorrow!

I'm with you and your other colleague: that sweater is fabulous and so much fun!
ReplyDeleteBarnabas and Whateley must be the naughtiest kittens ever but how kind of Barnabas to bring you the missing bulb ;-) I'm sure they egg each other on. I used to have two kittens - brothers - as well, and they managed to destroy their scratching post and break half of the glasses on our drinks trolley. xxx
I quite like the fun and funkiness of your outfit! It's something I would wear and feel like a total kick-ass in. :-) As for the toilet paper, well that's a completely other story. Whateley!!!! LOL that Barnabas brought you the bulb. Was he snitching on Whateley ;-) or just fessing up for himself. :-) No idea why they would pull their water fountain apart or (possibly) step on the power bar switch! Maybe in a past life they were both electricians…
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
PS I also wanted to say the outfit looks super on you - you look like you are in your element and your enjoyment of wearing all the pieces shines through.
DeleteAlso, HI to Helen tomorrow! Cheers again, Laurie
One more PS - Robin is figuratively knee-deep in the atmospheric river and we have a feeling you are too. Fred was showing me a radar map in motion and now we know what it's called a river - oh my gosh, the map shows a flow that looks exactly like a river in the sky flowing in from the Pacific and over the land!
