Clari you’re extremely understanding of everyone and everything. That ask about Nat and Dabi was pretty accusatory and rude, and you responded incredibly lovely.
gorepop i love u <333 it could definitely come off in such a way, but it can be so difficult to read tone over text so i always want to give everyone the benefit of the doubt! sometimes things come out harsher than we intend. also, i completely understand that emotions—especially emotions surrounding our favourite characters or a character that means quite a lot to us—can be very, very high and can sometimes cause these reactionary responses! obv never a reason to be rude toward someone else, but i can totally understand feeling so protective over a character. i genuinely don’t think anon meant it in a rude way, tho!! <33
#like there are def times i’ve seen the worst take on dabi and had to literally leave my phone face down and walk away from it for a bit HAHA#ultimately i’m just like ‘he’s fictional clari he is fictional’ and that usually helps me calm down ehehe#but all i’m saying is i can understand that intense burst of emotion!#anyway you are the sweetest thing i love u sm <33333#thank you for this <33#i hope you’re having a fabulous tuesday!!#pls stay safe and stay hydrated <3#gore pop kill pop#clari gets mail

i would looove love love to get a peak at your 5000 word document dissecting alhaitham <333 im so in love w him
waaah really anon!? i’m flattered to hear that! i’m always extremely hesitant to share stuff like that because one, it’s personal to me and analyzing characters like that is a special pastime/hobby for me—something i deeply enjoy doing and like keeping for myself, something private and cherished and just for me—and two, i know everyone has their own personal interpretations of characters of course (influenced by their own unique experiences, beliefs, opinions etc.) which can be very sacred to them (especially if the character is a comfort character) and they can sometimes get very upset or feel very strongly when someone has a different interpretation of the same character as them. all interpretations of a character are valid and there are no ‘right’ answers in art (one of the many beauties of it!)—everyone is allowed to and welcome to interpret a character however they’d like to and no one is more ‘right’ than anyone else; it’s fiction, it’s what you make of it!—however bullying and harassing someone simply due to the fact that their interpretation differs from yours is never okay.
#sorry i rambled a little here HAHA#but thank you!!!! you’re so sweet 🥺🥺#i’m so in love with him toooooo oh my god he is devouring my mind#i apologize i know this answer isn’t very satisfactory >.<#maybe one day i’ll share some of it!!#i hope you’re having a fabulous tuesday sweetpea#keep safe and drink water!!#inky.bb#clari gets mail

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to the weekend!
Wow! Here we are again: Friday! Where did that week go? No, seriously, where did that week go?
Last night, I posted ‘Deaths Of 2023’. A long list of truly great people that contributed to my life and, for that, I am eternally grateful.
On Saturday, we’ll buy our meat from a wonderful Irish butcher we have in Harlesden. They know the expensive and cheap cuts of meat that the residents of Harlesden like!
Really hope you can join me tomorrow at 1.00 p.m. for ‘The A-Z Of Mi-Soul Music’. The Letter S (Part Six). No Executive Producer this week, just me playing with myself.
On Sunday, I will do a huge shop at Sainsbury’s and, as the weather is saying 13 degrees, Josiah and I will probably go to park. On Monday, you will get Too Much Information Tuesday, so that – instead of crap Christmas cracker jokes – you’ll have some amazing facts to discuss around the dinner table!
Before the year is out, I will do two brilliant gigs: December 29th at Cinnabar in Stevenage, and then New Year’s Eve at The White Lion, Streatham.
For me, 2024 is already looking jam-packed with every minute accounted for! Once I get back from Jamaica on January 8th, it all kicks into action! At my two places of employment (two), I am very busy! If working five days a week is free-lance, what the hell is full-time? In fact, the rest of my time will be taken up doing all the other things I do: prepping for my show, radio broadcasting, club gigging and, of course, reading and writing! Really looking forward to ‘Ibiza Soul Week’ in May, and really looking forward to ‘Soul 4 U’ in Birmingham in September. Plus, there’ll be assorted cool gigs here and there!
Have a fabulous and funky Friday! I love you all. You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?

((Hey friend how are you feeling? I hope you’re doing better, bless your heart))
((Thank you, dear! You're so thoughtful [as always!] to ask. I'm doing a bit better, off from work today and resting up as much as possible. Until yesterday morning, I was afraid it was covid again, because of the chills and nausea, but I seem to be bouncing back better. Just mostly exhausted--and fortunately, I was given a light schedule this week; only 4 hours each on Tuesday & Wednesday. I have the option to work to extra, but I think I'd be better off relaxing and recovering.
Also, thanks for including me in your list of recommended blogs from that Anon ask. I feel like the nerd that suddenly got invited to the popular kids table in the lunchroom.
Btw, Stephen mun just started interacting with the birthday party posts, I tagged you in my first reply.😊Hope you're having a fabulous week so far, my friend! xx))

Chapter 10: Ladies Night (Empty Canvas)
The day that Eddie left for San Diego I decided to close myself off to the outside world for a bit. I got into the routine of just going to work, going home and sleeping and I was absolutely fine with doing just that. My mind is a mess and I’m crippled by guilt. Though I can’t place the exact cause of that guilt. Is it towards Andy, towards Eddie, towards myself? I haven’t figured it out yet. So I wanted some time alone to kind of figure out what to do and come to terms with my life post-happiness. But I forgot something, well someone. Johnny Stavros Kiriakis and that fucking stubbornness of his. He called me every single day, demanding to have a ladies night with him and Corrine. I eventually gave in, just so after that I could return to my peace of mind.
Today is Tuesday and ladies night has arrived. When I got off work at eight, I rushed home so I could change, because I’d never hear the end of it, if I showed up in my work uniform.
“Darling, I demand of you to be your absolute most fabulous self”, those were the words Johnny used and I decided to just go along with it.
I got home and changed into a black leather skirt which I paired with a wine colored blouse, some tights and some black suede over the knee boots. Knowing Johnny my Doc Martens would be a big no no. I finished off the look with eyeliner, mascara and some lipstick that matched the color of my blouse.
After that I quickly put on my jacket, grabbed my bag and headed out of the door. It was only a fifteen minute walk to No Way Jose (and that’s the actual name of the fucking bar, I’m not kidding you), it’s this latin bar and it’s one of the few places that doesn’t card, which is great because I still have a month and a half of illegal drinking to go before I turn 21.
When I eventually get there it’s 9:30, half an hour late. I wouldn’t have been so late if I had been wearing my Docs instead of these heels. I enter the place and start looking around, eventually finding Johnny and Corrine in a booth with four margaritas in front of them.
“Are you guys pregnant or what? You’re drinking for two!” I tell them as I scoot in next to Corrine.
“No darling, what kind of mothers would we be”, Johnny says, sounding appalled, but then going on, “No it’s actually happy hour. Wait let me get you something!” And with those words he stands up and goes off in search of a waiter. I give Corrine a confused look.
“Oh, that? He’s crushing on this bartender named Antonio”, she explains as if it’s the most normal thing in the world. Actually according to Johnny standards it is. Corrine and I make some small talk until Johnny returns with two margaritas in hand.
“There you go, sweetie, drink up, because we have a lot to talk about!” he says excitedly as he takes his place in front of me again. I oblige his orders (I’ve been following his orders a lot lately) and start drinking.
“So how is everybody’s love life going?”, he asks out of the blue with a cheeky grin. I hope he will keep his promise about being a lady and not kissing and telling.
“You know the usual. Jeff”, Corrine is the first to answer, quite dryly as she stirs her straw around her margarita.
“Details honey, details”, Johnny says, gesturing his hands wildly, his margarita sloshing around in his glass. Surprisingly he doesn’t spill a drop.
“He’s still great in bed, recently experimented with some role play. You’d be surprised how handy his hats can be when it comes to that. Very effective when trying to role play Anna Karenina, because you know I love my literature”, Coco says quite dryly to get it over with, Johnny listening intently.
“And for the rest nothing much. He’s got a huge zit on his ass, very aggressive”, she adds and my drink turns sour in my mouth.
“Corrine, honey I love your openness but even for me that’s too many details”, Johnny says, taking a big gulp of the margarita. Johnny lives by one philosophy; straws are useless.
“I don’t judge, but I’ll never be able to look at Jeff’s ass in the same way”, I say holding up my hands in defense when Corrine looks at me for support.
“Good thing, because I don’t need you looking at my boyfriends ass”, she says laughing and takes a sip of her drink through her straw.
“He does have a wonderful tushie”, Johnny adds. “Anyhow, as for me just the same old stuff I’m afraid. No one wants to love a drag queen. Honestly I kind of get it. You like men and then a guy dresses up as a woman, it can all get very confusing” he says and gestures to some of the glitter that almost permanently stuck around his eyes. But he likes it there, makes his eyes sparkle more. “But you’re not in drag when you fuck em, so what’s the problem?” Corrine states matter-of-factly, taking another sip. I follow her in that last act and drink as well. I’m gonna need more alcohol if I want to get on their level, guessing that in the half hour I was late, they got a head start of two margaritas each.
“I don’t know, men, horrible creatures. But oh, so divine”, Johnny adds, slightly dreamy and then returning to earth to talk to Coco and I once more. “Anyhow I had this thing going on with this guy last week. We fucked every single night, it was great and poof… It’s like he vanished into thin air”, he adds and makes the gestures along with it. The thin air part makes me want to smoke, so I start looking through my bag for my cigarettes and my lighter.
“So that’s why you’re chasing the bartender?” I say finding the things I was looking for. I light my cigarette, blow out the first drag and then go in for a sip of margarita. Wonderful combination.
“Indeed honey, so drink up so I can get us another round soon. I need myself a lean, mean love machine like that. Speaking of lean, mean love machines, how was Eddie?” Johnny says with a cheeky grins as he sees me choke on my drink. Fucking hell.
“WHAT?” Corrine shouts out in utter confusion, looking back and forth between me and Johnny like she’s following a game of tennis.
“Johnny, what did you say on the phone again: I’m a lady, I don’t kiss and tell”, I say in a desperate attempt to get him to shut up, but it’s probably not gonna work.
“Indeed, I don’t kiss and tell. I put people on the spot, because I want you to tell it”, he says with a wide grin.
“Great”, I mumble as I take a big gulp of my drink and another drag of my cigarette.
“Someone please clarify, because what the fuck is going on here? I’m very confused”, says sounding very frustrated. I would be too if I was in her situation.
“Okay, so what happened a few days ago, the day after Mookie’s first show at the Off Ramp…” Johnny decides to take matters in his own hands and starts explaining.
“Johnny, again, what’s up with this kissing and telling tonight?”, I say, once again, trying to get him to shut up. But I realize it’s a lost cause, so I attach my lips to the margarita glass again, finishing the rest of the first one in one gulp, picking up the second already.
“I’m not a lady tonight!” he exclaims and then turns to Corrine, who practically begging for an explanation. “Anyhow so I call her up to check on her, since you called me earlier that day to tell me about our little minx’s mental breakdown after kissing Mister Not-So-Tall, Dark and Handsome”, he starts.
“Uh huh, so far I’m on board”, Coco says and takes a sip of her drink. I light another cigarette.
“So she picks up the phone and she’s in this horrible hurry, trying to get me off the phone as soon as possible”, he says looking at me and then continuing with a cheeky grin, “Which made me suspect that something was up, turns out there was something up!” he says and wiggles his eyebrows making innuendos of an erection with his fingers.
“For fuck’s sake”, I mutter as I start on the second margarita, rolling my eyes.
“Indeed for fuck’s sake!” Johnny continues and I swear to God, he’s almost giggling with glee. “So I start noticing throughout this phone call that our little chainsmoker here is sounding desperately short on breath. Sometimes she even moans and groans”, he says wiggling those eyebrows once again.
“Oh my fucking God, Lola!” Corrine starts out shouting, but quickly lowers her voice to a whisper-shout as she notices my stare of doom.
“So I try to ask her about it and she tries to brush it off as fucking foot cramp” Johnny says, bursting out in laughter, continuing once he calmed down. “But eventually I heard the chuckle of a certain Californian sex god and put one and one together”, he says and thereby finishes telling my sex life to Corrine, and the people in the booth next to us, who seem to be listening along.
“You were fucking with Eddie when you picked up the phone!” Coco whisper-shouts again.
“We weren’t fucking. He was punishing me for picking up the damn thing in the first place”, I explain and I don’t even know why I feel the need I have to. I light another cigarette.
“That’s even better, he’s got a kinky side”, Johnny says and for a brief moment I can see a glimpse of his BDSM fantasies coming through his eyes.
“Really, Eddie, shy, sweet, sensitive Eddie?” Corrine asks, no longer whisper-shouting, but just very intrigued at this moment. I just nod, not really feeling like explaining much more. Also because what happened between Eddie and I was only supposed to be between us. Just the great memories of a wonderful day, not conversational material for a bar that plays mariachi music.
“So what does that mean? You pushed away your crazy thoughts of I’m never gonna love again, no one could ever love me again? And you’re with Eddie? Honestly, I’m so happy for this quick change of heart, you’re perfect together” Corrine says so fast, I barely have time to process it all.
“I agree!” Johnny shouts out and he has to refrain himself from clapping with glee. By now I have processed all their comments. They’re playing match maker again. They’ve been doing this ever since about two months after Andy died.
“I didn’t change my ‘mind’” I say bitterly, making air quotes with my fingers.
“What do you mean?” Johnny shouts out appalled at the same time that Corrine lets out a surprised “Come again please?”
“I didn’t change my mind”, I repeat slowly and take another sip.
“You’re gonna have to explain more”, Corrine quickly says and takes my packet of cigarettes hostage, whilst Johnny snatches my drink from my hands and finishes it. I sigh in aggravation. This decision has been hard enough to make on my own and I really don’t feel like explaining it to them. But I have no choice.
“I allowed myself one day” I start, “Which eventually lasted longer than a day, it was more like 36 hours or so, but you get the idea- of happiness. And that’s it. That’s all it ever can be, between Eddie and I, for both of our sakes” I say somberly. Please let it stop now, because I’m gonna be crying in five minutes if not. Corrine looks at me with pity in her eyes. Johnny on the other hand…
“She’s got to be kidding right?” he lets out, very appalled.
“No I’m not. Johnny, get me another round”, I say, trying to repress my sadness with the promise of more margaritas. Bringing all of this up just makes me want to drink until I black out, so I can forget all of it. Because I don’t want this… But it’s what has to be done.
“Not until we clear this fucking mess up” Johnny shouts out, actually angry. He takes a deep breath to calm down before going on. “So you’re telling us that you allowed to be yourself with Eddie for one day and that’s it? How did he react?”
“He doesn’t know” I say in a small voice. That’s the part that’s been haunting me the most. The thought of seeing Eddie again and sending him away. I still don’t know if I will be able to do that.
“That’s gonna break his fucking heart…” Coco says sadly, saddling me up with even more guilt.
“Not as bad as being attached to an emotional wreck” I say, defending myself. They need to understand this. I can’t be with him. I want to be, but it would be selfish and wrong.
“Oh Lola, honey, snap the fuck out of it”, Johnny begins what I assume is gonna be a passionate soliloquy. “You’re fucking perfect for each other. So what that you’ve got baggage. He’s got a shit ton of baggage too, I mean have you listened to the guy’s songs? Those aren’t the words of someone who has had an easy-breezy life!”
“And from what I know from Jeff, he’s absolutely head over heels in love with you. Just as you are with him, and don’t retract those words, because you told them to me in person”, Corrine follows Johnny’s comment up and gives me a stern stare.
“And I heard them from a third person account, or is it second person. Oh fuck grammar!” Johnny chimes in, getting frustrated, with himself and probably with the situation.
“He doesn’t stop talking about you during rehearsal”, Corrine continues and even though I don’t want to, her comments make me smile. “Whenever one of the guys mentions your name, it’s like all the clouds above his head disappear, and that’s a literal quote from Jeff. And you know he doesn’t lie to me, because I’d have his balls if he did”, she says, the last part making me chuckle.
“I just saw you guys together once and when he looked at you he was completely smitten, it was the sweetest thing”, Johnny says, getting over his frustration, sounding kind of dreamy.
“You like the same music, you’ve both got baggage…” Corrine continues.
“You’d look beautiful together and from what I’ve heard, you’re very sexually compatible”, Johnny says finishing off Corrine’s train of thought.
“So in conclusion, you have to date him”, Corrine says, making it sound like a done deal. They’ve somewhat pulled me over to their side. Eddie and I… We could be good together. Maybe I could push aside my fears of breaking again, knowing that he probably has those too… But…
“Guys… I know. I feel it too. The connection we have it’s crazy. It’s like we’ve known each other for ages and whenever I’m near him it feels like I can finally breathe for the first time in my life…” When I say this it makes both of them smile like crazy. “But… What about Andy…” I say.
I guess that’s the thing that it all boils down to. If I go for Eddie, I have to let Andy go. And I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do that.
“Okay, I’m gonna be harsh here, very harsh”, Johnny begins and I mentally prepare myself. “Honey, he’s dead. He’s gone. I know you still love him and you probably will always love him. But I knew Andy as well and there’s one thing I know for certain and that is that he would’ve wanted you to find someone that makes you happy.”
“Exactly. You can’t hold on to the past forever”, Corrine chimes in, putting a hand on my shoulder, softly rubbing it. He would want me to be happy, but so soon… Andy never cared about timing, but I do.
“And the thing is that you don’t have to rush into a relationship with Eddie. Date a little, get to know each other more. Give it some time to breathe”, Johnny says as if reading my thoughts.
“Johnny, when did you become so wise?” Corrine says, chuckling slightly.
“Three margaritas will do that to a person” Johnny adds without missing a beat, making both me and Corrine laugh. He reaches over the table and takes my hand in his.
“Honey, you deserve happiness and you can actually have it. And it just so turns out that it walked through your door in the form of a Californian Sex God” he and I chuckle through a sniffle. When did I even start crying?
“Just try to give it a chance at least”, he says, looking at me hopefully.
“I’ll think about it”, I whisper, squeezing his hand.
“That’s all we can ask of you at the moment”, Corrine adds and with that this part of the conversation seems to be concluded.
“Can we ask one more thing?” Johnny says however with a cheeky grin. Corrine gives him a questioning look and I do the same. Where the hell is he going with this?
“How was he?” Johnny says doing his trademark eyebrow wiggle, making us all understand what he’s getting at.
“Seriously?” I ask. I mean we just spent the last part of the conversation talking about me moving on from my dead ex boyfriend and opening up to someone new, and he want to know about the sex? I should’ve expected this. It’s Johnny after all.
“Yup”, he says, cheeky grin still wide. I look at Corrine for support, but she’s looking at me with eyes wide with intrigue, ready for me to spill the beans.
“Fine”, I sigh and they both lean in closer. “Okay, I’ll say one thing and don’t even think about asking details.”
“Deal”, Johnny says, quick as a bat, Corrine nodding like a bobble head during an earth quake. I decide to go with one of the thoughts that I remember crossing my mind once I hung up on Johnny.
“If God didn’t want us to be sinners, he shouldn’t have put men like him on the planet”, I say and stand up to head to the bar to order us another round of drinks.
***
We stayed at the bar until they closed down at 3. We spent the entire time talking about the most random things. Johnny couldn’t resist bringing up Eddie again from time to time and I let him, figuring his fascination will blow over sooner or later.
The high point of the evening was probably when Johnny competed in a voguing competition with a girl who was having her bachelor party there. Antonio the bartender was the judge and he decided that Johnny was the winner. Needless to say that they clung to each other like gum underneath a shoe for the rest of the night. Johnny ended up leaving with him.
Corrine got into her car and asked me if I needed a ride home. I kindly declined, seeing as she drank most of all. I switched to virgin margaritas around midnight and was completely fine. Besides I like to walk. It clears out my head.
The fifteen minute walk back to the gallery seemed so much longer in the cold weather of the middle of the night. As a bonus, it had started raining as well. Great, exactly what I needed.
My thoughts drifted towards Eddie, still in San Diego. How I would’ve loved to have gone with him. Spending the entire time on the beach, trying to teach me how to surf, throwing me in the water when I least expected it. Hot make out session in and out of the water, maybe even more. How I would’ve loved to have done all of that.
One decision that I made for sure is that I wouldn’t try to cut him out of my life, like I first intended to. That was a stupid thought, why the hell did I ever think that was a good plan. First of all, Jesus, what a bitch a I would’ve been, secondly, I don’t think I could’ve even done that. I can’t stay away from him.
There’s also another decision that I made. No more further worrying about how things will turn out with Eddie; The moment I’ll see him again, I’ll go with my gut feeling, that will either lead me into his arms again or not.
It’s strange to admit, but I’ve missed him so much over the past four days. It’s crazy, because ten days ago he wasn’t even in my life and now a week without him felt like agony.
When I finally turn into the alley way behind the gallery, I’m completely soaked with rain and it’s pouring down even heavier than before. I hear lightning crackle overhead, followed only seconds later by the sound of thunder.
I see a figure standing by the backdoor of the gallery. As I get closer the silhouette becomes more distinct. Long brown curly hair, plaid shirt, sleeveless leather jacket, surprisingly enough in a pair of jeans that reach his ankles and Doc Martens.
“Eddie?” I ask, completely confused. He’s supposed to be in San Diego, he won’t be back for another couple of days. And this is not a drunken fantasy, because I’m sober as can be at the moment. But the figure lifts his heads at the sound of my voice and baby blue eyes stare right at me.
“Lola!” he says my name and a smile spreads across his face. In that moment I decide to follow my gut feeling. I run up to him and wrap my arms around his neck, attaching my lips to his. He immediately pulls me closer by my waist with one arm. He uses his other hand to cradle the back of my head, tangling his fingers in my wet hair. He kisses me deeply and passionately, making up for the days we spent apart all in that moment.
This is right. I need him, I want him. I choose to leave the past behind. I choose him.

Don’t think this is rlly talk shop Tuesday but do you read your fics in full once you finish them, or just read as you’re proofreading every chapter?
Yay! Happy Talk Shop Tuesday! It's a question about fic so it counts!
I usually read as I proof read each chapter - but occasionally I will go back and read the entire thing once it's done and hope that I don't run into any plot discrepancies or find any major typos! I have actually read Rid Me of the Blues in full more than once since I am still actively playing in the Infection Verse and want to make sure the continuity continues to make sense!
Thank you so much for indulging me in Talk Shop Tuesday! I think it's so fun and I am so happy it's becoming a thing! Thank you so much for reading and sending this ask!! I hope you had a wonderful Tuesday and that you have a fabulous week!

Quilt Block Mania - April is Neighborhood
Welcome to my stop on the Quilt Block Mania Blog Hop. Each of the designers participating in the hop are sharing a block pattern inspired by this month’s theme, which is Neighborhood.
Welcome to Funky Town!
When I heard the theme, I immediately thought of curvy, wacky, colorful houses a la Dr. Seuss and I knew I wanted to design a funky town!
Here’s my fabric pull. I started with bright prints with interesting textures, then added some matching solids. To polish everything off, I pulled from my stack of black and white prints, then added a pink polka dot.
I call my block Funky Town. I hope you’ll make my block! If you do, please tag me on social media @inquiringquilter.
My block uses fusible applique techniques. If you need additional help with this technique, I’ve got a photo tutorial here.

Thank you @yorkshireyarnfest for a wonderful show! Everything was perfect. So well organised and friendly, smooth setup, idyllic location with luxurious facilities, a fantastic crowd of yarn loving and lovely visitors. Oh, it was wonderful! All that work behind the scenes is very much appreciated. I was super lucky with a stall location that was spacious and just next to the snacks so I was able to make it open plan and accessible with ease. I cannot thank the organisers enough for all their efforts - fabulous yarn-fuelled joy was had by all and if highflying recommend it to everyone, vendors and shoppers alike. This pale and exhausted looking photo of me was taken about 18:30 when I was finally ready to leave. Break down and van loading just takes forever when you’re on your own! Though I hoped to make it all the way home tonight I couldn’t. I’m at a motorway hotel in Gretna as I realised my eyes were struggling to focus and my lane discipline slipping. I actually tried to stop at Southwaite but was so tired I got confused and took a wrong turn and ended up on the M6 again! 🤦🏼♀️ Anyway, better try to sleep as I have to finish driving home tomorrow, unload, return the van, unpack, and send the few outstanding orders. I’m in uni Tuesday to Friday inclusive and have a mock exam on the 17th but also have to dye the yarn club so *yikes*! I wish there was a day off for me somewhere…. #mothyandthesquid #yorkshireyarnfest (at Sandburn Hall and Tykes Restaurant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpbOqgPqx5S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fifty Shades of White
It’s official, I’ve submitted my color to the cabinet painter and there’s no take backs. On Saturday the mister and I drove into Easton to the Benjamin Moore paint store to study all of the shades of off-white. As I lined up paint chip cards and looked at them under different lighting, walked them over to the windows, then back to the shadiest corner, Mickey asked, “Can you narrow it down to four?” After another dozen chip cards and some agonizing comparisons, I did. We headed home with sample pots of Cream Linen, Feather Down, Winter Wheat, and Navajo White, stopping at Walmart to pick up some project board in the school supplies section. I cut up that board and painted sections with each color, labeling them on the back.
Then the fun started. I moved them all over the kitchen, trying all four colors in different lighting. Cream Linen was the first to be eliminated.
Different times of day, against the wall color and the floor color (I ignored those ugly countertops because they’re being replaced_ I’d shuffle them and see if I picked the same color each time. My final choice is the middle color in that last photo - Winter Wheat. It does have a hint of peach in the undertone, but with the green(ish) walls it works. It’s the creamiest and that’s what I wanted.
The work starts on February 5th and I. Can’t. Wait. I have a dream that on the first anniversary of our arrival (May 6th) all of the major stuff will be done. After the cabinets are painted that just leaves granite and hardware. The ugly carpet on the stars will just have to wait. If that happens, meet me back here in May for a video tour. I wish I’d done a “before” video. I can probably find the real estate listing photos. Anywayyyy, that’s the color and soon the kitchen will be well on its way to being PRETTY.
I received a message that said the cabinets were find and I shouldn’t spend the money to paint them. I’d like to invite that person to come have a look. They’re not in great shape and I don’t like the color.
NOPE, these girls need some help. Just putting a little makeup on them.
Speaking of makeup, Sephora sends me fabulous samples all the time. I love it. I have drawers full of samples. Today I had some morning errands to run so I put my face on and popped a baseball cap on bed hair. I’d pulled a sample lip gloss out of a drawer because I was in the mood to try something new. I ended up running around town looking like Id just finished a two piece and a biscuit from KFC. I mean, I like a little gloss, but this is crazy. It’s a Fenty product, I don’t remember the shade, but I think it’s meant for someone younger than me. I go out looking a little wonky all the time though, so what? I’m going to try to make it a trend. We’ll call it Grancy Chic. Comfy shoes, bad hair, questionable makeup, a bra that has given up - what’s not to love?
Ye gads. Yep, those lips were a mistake, but at least I’m certain of my cabinet color - and that’s a lot more permanent, right?
I’ve got laundry chugging, after I toss that load in the dryer and start a load of jeans in the washer I’m going to sit down at my desk. There are new ideas for jewelry banging around in my head and I also have some cards to make. I’ve got a dear friend who will need a cheerful get well card and Valentine’s Day is coming. Fun! Time to turn on a murder podcast and get creative. Sounds like a perfect Tuesday afternoon.
I hope that your Tuesday is delightful. Do at least one nice thing for yourself today, whether it’s a walk in the sunshine or snuggling under a blanket if your weather is gloomy. If all else fails, buy a new nail polish - that always works. If you’re feeling the winter blahs, check the calendar. It’s just 55 days until spring! I’m a winter lover, still crossing my fingers for snow, but I understand those who are longing for the next season. It’s just around the corner.
I’m off to play with clay. See ya’ tomorrow.
Stay safe, stay well, stay hopeful.

Casual Chic Travel Outfits
My travel seems to come in clumps…it’s never spaced out very well, but I figure it’s better to go and rest later than not go! This coming weekend, I’m going to Richmond VA where my daughter Rebecca and her husband have just moved. It’s going to be a quick trip to celebrate her birthday so we’ll be doing some shopping, exploring and having a fun birthday dinner.
Week after next is the big trip to Germany to visit my youngest daughter, Sarah! Last time I went to visit was right in the middle of the pandemic and everything was shut down. I stayed for 2 weeks and had to quarantine for 10 days of that 2 weeks, which didn’t leave time for much of anything! I did get to meet my new grandson, Bristol and spend time with him so even though we didn’t do much, it was so worth going.
This trip will be much different! We are starting by traveling to Munich for Octoberfest and then going to Paris (I’m sure I’ve already mentioned that because I’m beyond excited). I also mentioned that packing was going to be much easier because of my capsule wardrobe and I’ve been coming up with even more outfit ideas by adding a few more pieces I already own to the capsule, which you should do as well if you’re following my formula.
I do not like to look like a tourist when I travel (except for the camera around my neck), so I’m putting together outfits that will be comfortable, chic and understated. I do plan to do some shopping while I’m there because…why not?
Good quality basics always look chic and the outfit below will be perfect for a day in Paris. We have arranged a gourmet walking tour for one morning and I love this look for walking around Montmartre with Bristol in his stroller. We’ll be sampling cheeses, pastries, breads and wine at local shops. We also plan to visit a market one morning and buy delicious goodies for a picnic to have in a nearby park. I want to make sure Bristol has time to run around and enjoy Paris just as much as we do! Every trip is different and this one will be low key and relaxed because we don’t need a cranky two year old!
This outfit is made up of pieces that most everyone already has in their closet in some form or fashion! If you are looking to update anything, in my opinion, a new pair of straight leg jeans and lug sole boots would be on the list.
I originally created the above outfit as a travel look which I still think would be great, but I would also switch out the joggers for black jeans or leather pants for a chic daytime outfit. Right now, the temperatures in Paris are in the low 60’s during the day, so I’ll definitely need a sweater. I love the Chloe tote bag for carrying my necessities including my camera and sneakers are a must for comfort.
Spanx leggings are the most comfortable for travel along with a large tote bag and sneakers. The luggage is from Amazon and I’ve already purchased it for the trip. It seems very sturdy and hopefully the color will stand out in baggage claim. A simple white long sleeve tee underneath the jacket will keep me comfortable for the long flight. I’m planning to share more of what and how I’ll be packing for the trip next week!
Be sure to click on the Amazon Shop in the tool bar at the top of the blog because I’m adding new fall items to this page every day and soon I’ll be adding all my favorites for the holidays! I’m also adding to the Shop My Favorites boutique soon so be sure to check that out as well!
Today, in anticipation of my article in Victoria Magazine that comes out in January, I’ll be filming a video about afternoon tea…manners, food and styling! I’m really looking forward to it and can’t wait to share! I hope you have a fabulous Tuesday.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to the weekend!
Wow! Here we are again: Friday! Where did that week go? No, seriously, where did that week go?
We had dinner last night with one of our favourite people (at one of our favourite restaurants.) Our friend – somebody I’ve known since 1985 – has reached a fairly amazing point in his life. He’s retired, doesn’t need to work, he’s got no wife, no kids, no parents, no siblings. What would you do? He plans to go away for a month. We will encourage him.
Very sad to hear about the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. A totally unique poet and performer. A great writer, an academic, an intellectual and a man of principle. Also, sad to lose former Wings and Moody Blues member Denny Laine on Tuesday. Denny sang lead on The Moody Blues’ big hit ‘Go Now’ and co-wrote ‘Mull Of Kintyre’ with McCartney, so his legacy will live long.
Today, I will be marking assignments, with no end in sight. Yes, I have THAT many students. Last term, in my three Tuesday lessons, I had about 50 students! In between marking, I will prep for my radio show and get things sorted for my tax return. The Trouble is my accountant too! Hmm … I think she’s a keeper!
This evening, The Mighty Josiah will arrive around dinner time and, as he’s quite self-sufficient these days, I will have time to do some more work. Hopefully, I can get down to some writing? As you know, few things make me happier than writing. My dad once said to me, “I’ll love the way you play with words!” High praise!
Really hope you can join me tomorrow at 1.00 p.m. for ‘The A-Z Of Mi-Soul Music’. The Letter S Part Four: Executive Producer: @Diane Hastings. Diane has done an amazing job and I think you’ll enjoy the show. A documentary film crew will be filming the show and filming an interview with me after. More details when I get them.
Have a fabulous and funky Friday! I love you all. You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?
