Katherine, how wise your post is. And coming from a professional clothes person, what you say has extra weight.

What a kind post, Katherine. Thank you
 Yesterday, a friend made me try on a long black dress of hers. It was like a fitted tube, classy, elegant, and absolutely perfect for her, but it
made me feel like a pretender - grown-up, confident, ladylike, slightly prudish, and conservative. I'd risk Frederik taking me for a Counsel for the
Prosecution. So I have decided on the turquoise dress. It's short, made of silk, and has golden dots and buttons.

Good decision - sounds gorgeous. |

I have not been around much these past few weeks...mom visited...July 4th things...mostly being kept up by fireworks in the neighborhood [one can buy all kinds
of deadly and LOUD fireworks at walmart and roadside stands in this State
 ]..and so, today, I remain sleep deprived...

Next Tuesday is Bastille Day for us, so it's a day off - and I just found out my inernship tutor was ok for me to take the day off on Monday.
4 days week end, here I come!!! I'm going to sleep my brains out I think, I'm so tired. Best way to start the day!

I've got a question: when you say 'See you shortly', do you mean that you're going to see someone in a short while (which would be my guess,
but I'm hesitating) or that you're going to see them for a short while?
Thanks!

So - what happened to You, Frederik and the Dress?

Thanks Evelyn - that's what I thought when I wrote it in a text, and then after I hit the send button, I started to have doubts
 (which wasn't a big
deal as the person I was texting doesn't speak English as well as I do  ).

The dress and Frederik are in late August, Clifton, so there's time to change my mind more than once
I also have this short, loose, emerald green silk dress ...

Ooh, emerald green silk sounds lovely, Nik. And loose would be comfortable if the dessert tray was especially nice.

I also, it seems, am always thinking of food. A good friend from Berlin is staying at the moment; I speak very little German (after just 2 years at school, 34
years ago). He went to see Jude Law in Hamlet the other night; later I wanted to ask him if he had enjoyed the "To be or not to be" speech (which is
done in the castle courtyard in snow - not sure how they're going to manage that in Elsinore in summer!) "Did you like the speech which begins
"Essen oder nicht essen, das ist die Frage"?" I asked him. Well, apparently that means "To eat or not to eat, that is the question".
Always a much more important question, I feel.

I agree with that, Jas.
My dad used to film us a lot during family gatherings - Christmas, birthdays, christenings... and that's how we realised that we are, 3 times in 4, talking about food...

Essen oder nicht essen...
I read about a study that determined that women spend two years of their lives thinking about food. I'm not sure that's confined to women, though. I, and a couple of friends (one male, one female) have started walking for exercise. We talk constantly about food while we're trying to burn off the effects of our overeating.  There's no gender difference in our little group.

In the end both questions are closer than one thinks.

Blue, a walking group is a great idea!

This is bad for him, as he doesn't want to go live far away from home... and it's bad for me too, as this means my mum and dad will have to pay for his flat, and I'm stuck at home for the next two years  Which is becoming all the more awkward now that I have a boyfriend (who lives with his parents too...).
Mind you, it might be over by the end of the Summer, you never know... although I'd like it to last a bit. I like him a lot

We're pleased with the results so far. The building we are based in now, a huge, soulless government building, has a walking track outdoors, and a basement hallway which is exactly a quarter of a mile long, that doubles as an indoor walking track. We usually walk indoors. It's dull, but predictable, and we entertain ourselves with thoughts of brownies with white chocolate icing. |
