Two things have given this weeks shopping basket a green and healthy look. Firstly when I put on a pair of my jeans, I discovered that they fitted to perfection; this was not good news. You see in the two years since I bought them, I have bemoaned the fact that I got the wrong size and that they were too loose, that is until now. Secondly my energy levels have been low and I suspected it was time to take a closer look at what I am eating and that the day had dawned for a change of direction on the food front.

♥ Sartorial Story
Once upon a time, I applied for a place on an intensive two-year jewellery skills course, run by the Craft Council of Ireland. My application, as Oscar Wilde said in an entirely different context was ‘the triumph of hope over experience’. Well, lack of experience, actually, as my only exposure to jewellery making /designing was a couple of terms at a once a week two-hour evening class.

♥ Morning Cocktail
Other people seem to have good memories. I on the other hand have a mass of fragmented facts swirling around my brain, most of which eventually spin into oblivion with just a few cascading into some form of long-term memory.

♥ Just in Case
Just in case you have an iPhone, just in case you are not one of the five million plus who have already downloaded it and just in case you have a few seconds, minutes or hours (take your pick) to spare or waste each day, I thought I would tell you about Instagram.

♥ Bits of my Week
This morning when I woke up, in those few fleeting moments betwixt dreamlike forgetfulness and full wakefulness, I realized with a jolt, that it was Sunday and yet another week had galloped by.

♥ My Favourite Things//One
Bracelet: I am ultra fond of my black wrap around leather bracelet. It’s my teensy-tiny bit of Hermes. If I had unlimited funds I would buy a Kelly or a Birkin bag. I don’t, so my bracelet is as good as it gets on the Hermes front; it has the same buckle as a Kelly bag. I am not especially not at all elegant but the bracelet is, so it makes me feel more ‘dressed’ when I put it on. I wear it most days, which makes it good value on a cost per wear basis.

♥ Sleep and Sheep
I am of the ‘I need eight hours shuteye a night’ tribe. I am awestruck when I read about folk who regularly survive on four hours sleep or less, betwixt dusk and dawn and still manage to fully function as entirely sane human beings. How do they do it?

♥ End of the Week
Sunday again, yet another week gone by. Incredibly it’s now June, how oh how did the first five months of 2011, flutter by so quickly. This was the week that the Irish weather briefly acknowledged that it’s Summer and we had three splendid sun soaked days. However today I woke up to a familiar and unmistakable sound… rain.
