Thanks for sorting out the time zones for Dewey's too, I was thinking I couldn't join in, but maybe I can.Louisehttps://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-58913088183103231472019-06-21T06:01:23.126+10:002019-06-21T06:01:23.126+10:00Yes, finally Paris in July again.

I'm all behind like the cow's tail at the moment! A beach wedding in winter here in Scotland would require the bride to wear one of those foil blankets they give to hypothermia victims... mind you, it wouldn't be much better in summer... 😉FictionFanhttp://www.fictionfanblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-10542332514573392472019-06-15T17:37:22.380+10:002019-06-15T17:37:22.380+10:00I've been trying to work out how to wear a mer...I've been trying to work out how to wear a mere slip of slip as an extra layer, but if the weather is anything like today - glorious, barely winterish sunshine, I'll be okay with what I have planned. <br /><br />I looked at some stylish winter coats, but the cost felt rather prohibitive especially for an item of clothing that would get so little wear in Sydney. If I'm being really honest Bill, our Sydney winters are not that harsh for a girl born and raised in country NSW (where it does get properly cold)!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-29550111671369177972019-06-15T17:26:57.779+10:002019-06-15T17:26:57.779+10:00Beach wedding?

Here on the Norht Sea...the bride's veil doesn'stand a chance!<br />Seagulls will swoop down to harass the wedding party looking for a scrap of food etc.<br />The lull of the sea will be drowned out by the boom...boom in the distance. Joint Strike Fighters (F-35) visiting van USA are practice bombing with our Dutch boys on a secluded coast of the lovely island of Vlieland (see: Google maps). So enjoy your peaceful surroudings during the ceremony!<br />Books: Boochani was a very hard read...skim if necessary to get through it.<br />TBR: good idea...it is a perfect rainy day to organize the book 'to read' and make yet again another empty promise 'embargo buying new books'!<br />Chernobyl: I remember the day it happened...Europe saw a radioactive cloud approaching...it was something out of Nevil Shute! I must see this series!<br /><br /><br />NancyElinhttps://nancyelin.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-26600276582710349812019-06-15T16:37:10.692+10:002019-06-15T16:37:10.692+10:00In my (humble) opinion: It is the highest discrimi...In my (humble) opinion: It is the highest discrimination that women can't wear a warm singlet under their fancy dresses. But a long tailored overcoat and high boots are both warm and glamorous. It kills me I only get to wear my overcoat once or twice a year.
