Posted on by waternymph88

Just a quick one as am off to my new boy’s gig on the other side of town.

Am a bit nervous and need to trowel on some make-up as all the other punters will be teenagers should think.  But am wearing my galaxy dress.  This one:


Also am getting Uber there as CBA with public transport.

Here are some photos from the cemetery earlier.  Walk around there for ages as it’s stuffed full of Pokémon and Pokestops.


Have good session with psychologist who is pleased with me and have even achieved a short sleep.  Had planned to have a wash but haven’t managed that.

Hope tummy won’t be too bad in the pub loo.  Oh dear.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

So I suppose it’s time to write a present list.  Let’s see:

1.  One of those natural light lamps to help with SAD.

2.  Better external battery for phone.  This pink one needs so much charging that it’s almost useless.

3.  Fluffy Pokémon toys:


Don’t put “fluffy Pokémon” into Google though because it brings up disgusting results.  There is something wrong with some people.  The correct search term is “Pokemon soft toys” or “soft Pokémon toys”.

4.  Grey over-the-knee boots.  These ones perhaps:


They will look excellent with silver coat.

5.  Tights with back seams.  They used to sell them in John Lewis am sure but couldn’t find any the last couple of times.  Gipsy heart back seam ones or Jonathan Aston Vintage Legs are good.  They are on : http://www.amazon.co.uk

6.  Sweaty Betty gift card.  There is nothing wrong with a gift card as a present, don’t think.  As long as it is for a shop that one likes: http://www.sweatybetty.com

7.  Spin leggings from: http://www.fitboutique.co.uk

That is enough to be getting on with.  Attached photo is today’s gym outfit.

Look who have captured today!


Caught a rattata and it just turned into him.  If only there was a function in the game to cuddle one’s Pokémon…

Happy Friday everyone!
