The Trivial Little things

Today I saw a pair of red shoes. Cute little peep toe sling backs in bright red with cream trim and a small buckle. I even tried them on. They fit beautifully...but still I put them back on the shelf and walked away.

I got home and had told three friends about the shoes in the space of two hours and began to wish I'd bought them. By 10pm I was in the car and heading out to buy shoes.

I was meant to have these shoes. Not only were they still there and in my size, but they were half the price they had been this afternoon.

I just love it when the little things somehow seem to fall into place....

And I have red shoes!

Time for change

There have been so many changes lately that I have neglected this and other blogs...fortunately it is only me who will suffer as a result. Normal service should be resumed by the end of the month at the very latest.

Currently I am tying up a few work-related loose ends, finishing up on a couple of writing projects and resurrecting last years NaNoWriMo attempt, with the intention of a complete rewrite to include a major pov shift. I'm not too sure if it'll work but we shall see.

My home office is undergoing a revamp this week and I am currently perched on a wooden stool amid paint pots and other decorating 'stuff' - I don't want to know what any of it is called or what it is used for lest I am called upon to use it...I much prefer being the artistic director on this project ie choose the colours and accessories and make the decisions on what goes where.

The smell of paint is overpowering and I can only work in here for short bursts. Can't go to the family room because I am not disciplined enough to not be drawn in by the goggle box....especially with the Wimbledon men's final at two sets each.
