Birthday Musings 2021

If the year never really happened, surely I can't have got another year older, right..?

S’cuse the messy mum bun, we just got back from Bailey’s first swimming lesson since Covid kicked off! I was a bit apprehensive as we’ve only been in the pool once since then during the Summer, but I needn’t have worried as he LOVED every minute! The second we walked into the health club and he spotted the pool he started yelling ‘WAAATEEEER!!!’ and the biggest challenge was stopping him from launching himself in there fully clothed! It was so wonderful to see him laughing, kicking and splashing again, we absolutely can’t wait till next week!
I’m cheating again and using a throwback outfit shot, because Fridays are for pretty frocks and I’m anything but pretty today 😴
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid! No, I didn’t lie on the floor in a public park in inappropriate shoes to catch this shot, I’m just in my garden. I only do that when I have a photographer on hand to make me feel better about my Insta-wankery. Embarrassment shared is embarrassment halved, right? Too bad said photographer wasn’t about to catch the behind the scenes though. Embarrassment aplenty there...
Full disclosure - the sunglasses are largely because I couldn’t be arsed to do my face today. And the jumpsuit is because I couldn’t be arsed to get dressed. But I made an effort with the boots! And finally got another shoe save under my belt with number 82/181!
What a glorious day yesterday was. I caught a train. I wandered around my beloved home city in the sunshine, marvelling at how much it’s changed since I was last here. I drank a coffee in the sunshine with a book. But best of all I got to spend a few hours putting the world to rights over drinks and delicious food for the first time in over a year and it felt MARVELLOUS!! Dan, Bailey and I made the most of the pub last summer but I haven’t been able to have a good old fashioned girls catch up and I’ve missed it so much! I also finally got to try out @dishoombhm after months of hearing friends rave about it, and it definitely lived up to expectations! Steered clear of the shops though - far too busy for me!
Fifty shades of beige... sorry, still not got my style mojo back just yet, and it’s not being helped by this bizarre polarising weather we’re having. What do you wear for a day sat outside when you’ll be sweating in the sunshine but hypothermic in the shade?? I’ve gone for layers and hoped for the best... anyway, my face is betraying my true feelings here because right now I’m on a train to Brum to spend a child free afternoon in my fave city with a fave girl and I’m actually VERY EXCITED!!
