Vivienne Westwood
Posted Sep 20, 2011
I'm not a big fashion person. To me clothes preserve some sense of modesty whilst simultaneously protecting me from the elements.
However, I understand that some people take them seriously. One day when I was killing time in Sleaford, I actually walked through a gallery of shoes, which we apparently a small sample of Vivienne Westwood's creations. From the exhibition I learned that VW a) made shoes and b) was a little bit crazy. Oh, and c) that modern shoe fashion puts them to shame in the craziness stakes.
This was, oooh, six months ago? And only today did I find out that VW is actually a woman. For years I though it was a man with a girls name.
How on earth did I manage to come to that conclusion?

Don't attempt to cook rice pudding from scratch in a microwave at full power.
On the plus side, my microwave now smells of cinnamon...

This wind is creepy.

We don't often get wind over here. We're protected by Telford on one side and the Welsh hills on the other.
No protection today. 
Wowee!

Tough 24 hours.

Inspectors at work, Mr Vip working until 9pm, a long, productive but draining h2g2c3 conference session, and emails coming out of my ears this morning.
Some days I appreciate being dragged away from my computer or I'd never leave it!

What is it about lining up piles of paper, with Post-its attached, and getting Thing Properly In Order that I like so much? Weirdo.
