Do you have a favourite colour? I do or at least I did. What I mean is that I have recently revised my view of what my favourite colour actually is. My knee jerk reaction used to be to say that green was my most-loved colour. My preference had absolutely nothing to do with green being the de facto national colour in this Emerald Isle. No, the real reason that I like green so well has all to do with the fact that most of its forty shades work well with my pale Celtic skin.

♥ This week
This week, as autumn continues its inexorable march towards the chillier landscapes of winter, the weather in these parts has been mild. True, some days have had a dark and misty feel as rain sheeted down but on sunny afternoons it was possible, just, to walk about coatless or jacketless without feeling chilled to the marrow.

♥ Field Trip
She stood out from the crowd. I spotted her in the distance, on a road close to where I live, as she strolled along hand in hand with her man. As she drew closer I could better see what she was wearing: a simple well cut coat, tailored cropped trousers, classic shoes with small stacked heels and a scarf softly draped around her neck. She was simply dressed and yet she looked totally stylish and totally chic. As I passed her by I could hear her speaking in French to her companion.

♥ Brief Break
If you have landed on Just Add Attitude for the first time I hope that you will stay for a while and explore more. If you are a regular reader can I once again say THANK YOU for reading my miscellaneous musings and please keep clicking on.
I am taking a very brief break from blogging but will be back *on air* next Monday. Would that I were going away somewhere lovely; the mundane truth is that I have a slew of things to catch up with and I am in the throes of the annual horror that is preparing my tax return for filing. Mine is a very simple return but I still find it hair-tearing-out-stressful. Wish me luck.
I hope you have a great weekend and if you are celebrating Halloween on Monday have fun.
Talk to you next week.

♥ I Like Mondays
Mondays get bad press; Monday is after all the day that signals, for most people, a return to the quotidian grind. When it was first released I used to listen mindlessly to the Boomtown Rats number one hit, penned by Bob Geldof, ‘I don’t like Mondays’ and it was only the oft-repeated refrain ‘I don’t like Mondays’ that impinged on my consciousness, so I wrongly assumed the song was about Geldof”s dislike of the first day of the week.

♥ A Question
‘It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.’ said Alice of Alice in Wonderland fame. It is indeed eerie how we change imperceptibly each day, moulded into someone different, as ever-changing experiences impinge upon our lives. Scary too is the rate at which our faces alter and although the features may be a constant, a glance in a mirror will show you a reflection that is a notably different from the one you saw a decade ago.

♥ Not Quite Couture!
Two autumns ago I enrolled in a dressmaking class. It seemed like a good idea at the time and very much in tune with the zeitgeist, besides I had a treasured length of fabric bought aeons ago waiting to be turned into a dress. I spent an age flicking through pattern books before selecting one for a very tailored dress.

♥ Before Blogging
I have blogged now for just over six months and those months have speed by at a spooky rate of knots. I know I don’t say this often, but I will today, thank you for reading Just Add Attitude, I very much appreciated that you do.
♥ Autumnal Sunday
Today had an autumnal feel in these part, the sky was daubed with grey-grained clouds, there was a chill in the air, and when I looked up at trees I saw that their leaves were on the turn.

♥ 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.
