Free Wheeling

When I was 8 my family and I moved from London to the Irish countryside. I attended a tiny school with only 5 pupils thats was close to my house. After the initial culture shock I adapted and began to enjoy the novelty of going to a school where 4 diffrent age groups where taught 4 diffrent lessons in one room by 1 teacher. Every morning a fire was lit in the open fire place so as to keep us warm. It was one persons job to go and collect the coal and other fule from a tiny building outside.

.

Iv been feeling rather nostalgic recently for my country days. I remember very clearly when my Mom allowed me to start cycling to school and back. She baught me one of those parcel carriers for the back to strap my school bag too. I felt so grown up and like a carchter from a book, cycling through the countryside stopping along the way to pick blackberries.

.

These days I long for a bicycle to scoot around the city. Ill make sure it has a parcel carrier too. And a basket.

The veiw from up here

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Last year me and my then boyfriend where sitting on a bus going somwhere (the details escape me as to where and why). I was dressed appropriatly for white girl in the summer, my general uniform of short shorts and watever else I feel like. It was around 35 degrees outside. Now I am have never really been able to pin myslef down to one style. I would never know how to describe my style, other have applied the words gangster, eccentric, bag lady, lady like,pure genius...Ok maybe not but you catch my drift.

.

Any road up, on the fateful day I was dressed fairly tamely.

.

Back to the story. So we were sitting on the bus and I was on some rant about my personal style while boyfrend stared into space (luckily this was early on in our reletionship while he still liked me enough to pretend he was listening). He turned to me and said " I really like the way you dress, like your whole Rosa style". I was flattered of course, and wanted to hear more nice things so I said "Oh yes what do you like about ?"

.

"I always wanted to go out with a girl who dresses like you" he said "Like...Kinda Slutty!"

So there you go. The day I saw my personal style through someone elses eyes.

That being said...I am saving for thigh high boots (a life long want of mine) I do love short stuff, tight stuff, sheers stuff, platform stuff, and I would gladly dress like Alison Goldfrapp or any of these slutty bitches for the rest of my days.

Klara from Klaras Closet paves the way with her stripper boots...

But I recently stumbled upon this page which blew my mind!

Then they went for dinner and din sum...

For the better part of my life I belived "Dim Sum" was an innuendo.

"and then they had drinks...and Dim Sum..."

Like an affected way of saying "...then some"

Never occured to me that it was a food.
