Tuesday Cocooning. New Things. Footless Opaques, Discuss.


What else can you do on a rainy day off but cocoon? The tumble dryer is dealing with the laundry.  Thanks to the power of the weekend’s batch soup making; dinner’s already sorted.  And thanks to preschool, there’s silence and stillness in every corner of the house.  The kind of silent stillness during which one doesn’t need to be suspicious or frightened of the potential threenager related reasons for its existence.

Endless mugs of tea have been enjoyed today in the company of Netflix (specifically that Diaz/Lopez/Wilson gem, ‘What to Expect’) and stuff I’m reading for work.  Whoops, perhaps I should have put the reading before the Netflix…



Nice mail has been opened and admired.  Thank you Willow and Lotus.  ‘So Major Bananas’ is going to be anchoring many an outfit this autumn and winter.

I’ve even tackled some housework.  The award for most enjoyable chore goes to cleaning my make up brushes with Mecca Cosmetica’s ‘Brush With Success’ ($24 AUD).  It’s a spray on brush cleaner that you then blot off with tissue paper.  It also leaves a beautiful floral scent on your brush so that you can feel a bit special the next morning as you run around the house getting ready for work and pre school.

Still loving veggie sushi bowls for lunch.

Today’s version included Sun Rice’s Organic Brown Rice.  It’s a bit more spendy than their regular brown rice but has a softer grain and flavour.

Got to Target just in time for the last of their black opaque tights in my size.

Except I got a 2 pack of footless opaques by mistake.  Advice please, readers.  Return or keep?  And if keep, how to wear?  Keeping in mind my forty something, feeling the pull of gravity, mum demographic.

Ditto with the black long sleeved caped T shirts for Preschooler SSG.  Three year old’s wardrobes are big on pretend and also garments that swoosh as you move at speed.  Tutus, princess’ ball gowns, fairy wings and these $15 caped T shirts from Target.  I guess you’d call it activewear for preschoolers.

The detachable capes even have their own labels.

How are  you keeping yourself busy as the weather gets cooler and wetter?

Are you going through a preschooler activewear phase at your place at the moment?  Is it hard work keeping the tutus and princess gowns clean?  I think I’ve gotten off quite lightly with only having to look after wash and wear detachable capes.

Don’t forget to tell me what to do about the opaque footless tights….
