Weird Wintertime

Sometimes the seasons seem well a bit weird to me  having spent part of last week and the start of  this with strong gales that blow rather a lot like next doors fence into the garden  and left the curb side here covered in debris.
Yesterday I even went out wrapped up well walking in the rain in a duffle coat getting very excited!

 Then, that being said having had only on Tuesday some stuff, would you of expected to see the Catkins out? Well when I was out walking late last week as I find it good for my mental health as well as physical fitness I did spot them on our subsiding public meadow that had trees planted on to help stabilize things as everything was starting to fall in a hole.

Think Pink!

Sometimes  you come back with things you didn't expect when you see people.

Unfortunately seeing people wasn't possible this year with being very poorly although up to the last minute when I realized a firm decision was needed I had everything arranged and had spent a small fortune on things  to share with others.

Way back in late June a few years back I did get a dark blue gingham school summer dress that I quite liked not least for how Junior it made me feel, which as far as I'm concerned is quite a good  thing and I had been thinking about something in a more classic pink.

Having a few things come Sunday reminded this one with two pleats at the front I like - I'm big on pleats - that caught my eye from a friend which having put it against me, seemed to be just perfect so I paid her for it in notes of the Bank of Purrland.

Being around and stuff

 This last fortnight or near enough three weeks has been really rather a challenge with having one of the worst migraines I have ever had to which I've only really recovered in the last day, some unexplained tiny spots that felt like a cut and some rather poor and utterly misread conversations that may take a while to fade out of my memory.

To my mind if you ask a simple question let's say "What's this all about" then for me the reply would be fairly short "I was just thinking about x" rather than a lengthy explanation that would get close to a rewrite of the entire thing because you may well not want such a reply.

If you did, then you'd show in your reply you'd want the whole thing clarifying.

If you use expressions introduced to you in the context of the subject matter by that person then you would not expect them to be near enough foaming at the mouth ranting on about associations that clearly were not hinted at never mind mentioned.

You also would not expected to be told just mentioning certain attire however briefly that if you had "any" consideration for them you'd not mention it in their presence nor indeed they would want to see you in it. Ever.

This is especially as they that had never said anything about anything connecting unpleasant experiences when they did to you that had you of known you would of not just understood but avoided as much as from where I'm standing from I don't see some of my issues with bullies in white pereline socks from the past to be ever an issue with anyone new today if that was their thing.

The person who bullied or otherwise made your life a misery was  an *** on the inside and frankly the wrapper made no difference, that was just their nature sadly.

Bullying wherever it may come from be it sexism, sexuality, race, gender identity or disabilities is just plain wrong as is denying opportunities due to bias but we do ourselves no favour if we allow that to affect how we treat others.

Chilling little style IV

 The evolving notion of uniform here has had some makeovers since the start of Covid.


 A new grey traditional pinafore of high quality with length adjusted to look more upper junior than "young lady" at a school for older girls was got as some of the regular ones didn't quite fit right  and I was conscious of it.

 

Underwear was changed to maroon gym knickers and the odd white pair in comfortable cuts.

 

While no good for "stealth" dressing some traditional pereline white socks were bought for get togethers aided by having actual children's sized feet so at least while there I am more like a younger schoolgirl.
