I was fossicking in my wardrobe the other day, and came across an item of clothing that holds very special memories for me.
When she flew home to Australia, she left her Red Jacket here for me, as she never wore it in Australia, finding it too hot.
She joked that I'd probably never fit it, but oh well... never mind.
Well. It didn't fit me for 8 years.
And I can even do it up!
Lacy said I looked very prim and proper, and like I was going somewhere 'important'. lol
I don't think anyone could call me 'prim and proper'. EVER. Perish the thought.
This morning Stew and I are going to Tirau to FINALLY pick up a precious Kauri Clock that we took to the Clock Shop for repair, WAY WAY back in March!
They have finally fixed it.
It belonged to my Dad, and he had it inside his last boat.
So obviously, it's rather precious to me.
ONWARD...
*snort* ... I must have been half asleep when I did this post... put two RISE AND SHINES ON IT!
Derrr.
Fixed now.
And we are off to Tirau shortly.
Cracker frost this morning... bloody freezing again.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow, I'd rather have frost thanks.
Hello?
Tirau was busy today. We picked up the clock, had an amazing burger for our lunch at Cabbage Tree Cafe, then came home.
Where we then spent the next couple of hours sorting out our market stuff, ready for next weekend.

Now we can return Steve and Bex's van, so Bex can use it once she starts doing markets again.
And my car gets to go back in our garage.
Neat!
We are both a bit knackered now... so it's time to just relax for a while. I think we are going to have a very simple dinner tonight, lunch was SUBSTANTIAL!
That red coat looks amazing. Enjoy wearing it :-)

Finding clothes that you've had in the cupboard for years and finding they finally fit is such a boost!!! And it's your Mum's coat. That's wonderful. Wear it often. You'll be surprised how fast it's suddenly too big 😄😄😄
ReplyDeleteYou do look like you are going somewhere important in that coat! Snazzy! I have been away for a few days and your blog doesn’t recognize me on my phone! - Dogstars
