I love the smells of outside. Cut grass, wet pavement, wood fire smoke, that mossy smell from the darker part of the garden, night flowering jasmine. Such good, clean smells. I don’t even mind the cooking smells you can find if you go for a walk around dinner time. So even though it’s freezing, I open the window for just a little while before cranking up the heater and settling in for the day. I need to smell the weather for a minute. Even if it is still cold. I think I’m already dreaming of spring.
Anyway, here’s what I found on the internet this week…..
- Did you know that a star was discovered whose center is an enormous diamond, of 10 billion trillion trillion carats; astronomers called the diamond star “Lucy”
- London college of fashion boss: it’s time we stopped destroying the earth. Thanks to Alison for sharing this with me! You can see my views on this topic here.
- 1960s Eyebrow Game was Strong! -1964 Maybelline Print Ad and the TV version too. It’s all just a little bit of history repeating….
- Why time keeps feeling like it’s moving faster and faster. Beautiful but mildly depressing.
-
“The Makeup Tax: Women who wear makeup earn more and are treated better. This has steep costs, in both money and time.”
- I hated camp. If you did too, you’ll really understand this letter a little girl sent home to her mum!
- Nena von Schlebrügge, Uma Therman’s mom, fashion model, 1950s
- A woman sent her novel’s opening pages to 50 agents under her own name and to 50 agents under a man’s name. The result: “He is eight and a half times better than me at writing the same book.”
- If you are looking for something to do this weekend, I posted a baby bib project for those that sew and a recipe for vegetarian cassoulet for those that want their house to smell wonderful while dinner cooks.
- iTunes is illegal under UK copyright law – The Intellectual Property Office today explains that ripping a CD in iTunes is no longer permitted, and neither is backing up your computer if it contains copyrighted content.
- New Louboutin Lipsticks! That packaging is so beautiful but who could justify spending $90 US on one?
- And for this weeks awwww, I give you this kitty who is confused by technology!
I am off to frisk clean the already pretty clean house. And then I think we will make a big, late, late breakfast. I want a big bowl of beans. It’s been a big week, so I think we are going to laze in front of the TV this afternoon. Wishing you the joy of late breakfasts and lazy afternoons xxxx
