Mad (Wo)Men

So, Sarah was rather impressed that I looked very Mad Men, that lovely looking series on BBC4 about an ad agency in the 1950's which I really love when I remember to watch it...in fact you can watch it with the sound off and it's pretty great to look at, not least the super handsome Jon Hamm, the lead....

This is definately the decade that works for him though, I've seen some red-carpet-designer-stubble type pictures of him in real life and don't feel a THING.

So....quite thrilled to be told i was giving it Mad Men Realness:

But then something happens to me around Sarah Lee and her camera of truth...before long I'd lost my neck, shattered all illusions of icy repressed housewife cool and was kicking up my heels like Dick van Dyke meets Mrs Overall...

Then Emma got hold of the picture.....I give up!

You will note from the pile of dirt that I was actually working rather hard with my colour co-ordinated broom....

I'm not a doggy person (apart from in the pic above!) but I met Lucy's dog Raisin yesterday and I've fallen in love with him...

He's so gentle, soft and beautiful and you can put your face right in front of his without any fear, also he puts his head in your lap and is so lanky he can't sit up straight, he tries and then his little feet slide down like this...

And just look at them together!

They make each other look even better!...Lucy here in pistachio Tocca sari dress.....
Then her husband David who's a musician arrived, you can find out about him here

And the whole family looked so colour-coordinated! Some people make you sick! Did they decide over breakfast that today was all about caramel and chocolate.....?

I prefer to accessorise on my own, my Eley Kishimoto mary-janes seem to go with EVERYTHING!!!!

Socks back on again today....I predict next week we will see the sun again.....
