got me 20 April 2008
DOH, it gets me every time. I love the bit in the Oscars and, tonight, the BAFTAs when they show who has passed away during the year. It is always beautiful and heartbreaking: we are diminished to have lost such people.
On the upside, tonight there were no good frocks, really, though sadly no absolute howlers either – though maybe that’s cos the BEEB are kinder than US tv?
As to the rest of the day – got an email telling-off from Joyce for being late with these musings – SORRY.
My skin is gone to shit but I do rather think it might be the two nights recently when i didn’t take off my make up…and it COULD be something to do with the regular cheese n onion crisps (see below). Feck.
Also, my eyes are looking not only tired but more puffy than they should. This is VERY bad news as I recently spent a fortune on eye products and none of them seem to be either a)working or b) suitable for my skin. It may be time to send suggestions to Gok Wan for things he might put to a road/face test (also see below).
I am now texting Richard in Russian whenever I can. Today he told me a thing that I responded ‘bolshoi xarasho’ to, which I hope means very good (big good, actually, but surely same thing?). He got the gist.
A day of rain so no more planting done in the garden and I am likely to forget that I have some summer bulbs and perennial stool-thingies* to put in and find them dried up and disappointed in a month’s time. The birds loved the weather though and the robin was very good value.
*ever technical, that’s me…and the boasting recently about how I had a bit of Latin which you’d‘ve thought would be perfect to throw into a gardening piece of info. DOH!
