The skirt I am wearing today is a lovely one that I bought in a sale years back, several sizes too big, and adjusted with elastic to make it fit. The problem with elastic is that it can give way without warning. Sometimes when you are walking to work. Ha! I've been styling it like a teenage boy all day, and all I can say is, thank goodness for

Oooh Hadrian's Wall! We stopped there a few years ago and wandered a bit, and found the part of the wall that's in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. :) Beautiful place, but 26 miles of it does sound exhausting! (I remember it as very up-and-down-and-up-and-down, I hope it's not like that all the way!)

And this is my 'My goodness isn't it a hot summer?' icon. I am very fond of it. :)

Also congratulations on the the new job! I'm guessing it's something admin-y, unless you're busy creating a new and better internet?

Must go to bed now (so sleepy) but tomorrow is last day at work before I go on holiday, so tomorrow I can stay up late! \o/

As always, it's lovely to see you. ♥

Yay, for holidays, and staying up late, and oh! this is what summer is like! moments. Your icon sums it all up perfectly.

Yes, I am doing something admin-y, as part of a team involved in educational innovation, which is lovely, even if I am mostly just observing the exciting things at this point. Professor Sir Tim has not required my input yet. ;)

I've been doing lots of walking lately, and am looking forward to something pretty (there are only so many times you can walk past Asda) to look at while I catch my breath/stagger/crawl onwards. I think I am passing the famous RH:PoT tree.

Have a lovely break!

Will you be staying up north for more than one day? We're heading up that way Sunday...

[the_royal_anna]

Oh, how exciting! Due to where I finish I am in Carlisle on Sunday, until about 3pm. But I guess you will be closer to the other end?

I hope you'll have a very enjoyable walk!

Thank you!

thank goodness for hips. They have saved me from still worse. ;)

After a couple such incidents I have taken to avoiding elastic waistbands whenever possible. Luckily for me it is still possible. (not so much when I was in high school and terribly overweight.) Most of my skirts do have elastic though.

And I can wait for your Buffy thoughts whenever you're ready. I can be patient. ;)

Sadly, patience is a virtue that is called upon all too often in my LJ! I'm slow replying here, but thank you for your encouragement and elastic-event empathy. :)

I think of patience as a muscle - 'tis a good thing to exercise and develop.

Since the Veronica Mars film came out, have you seen it?

[the_royal_anna]

Yes! And keep meaning to post about it, but time runs away from me at the moment - I'll get there.

I take it you liked it! I enjoyed it a lot - significantly more than large chunks of seasons 2 and 3 :)
