I am feeling deeply uninspired today. It is super hot, and Mr B starts school again tomorrow. I've got another 7 days of freedom (and prep for school), so I'm not too pleased to feel like I can barely drag myself from one end of the house to the other. Yesterday I had a super busy day. I got up and made a sponge for trifle making. Then I did house work, including whipping the sheets off the bed to wash them as soon as Mr B had got up. I assembled the bottom half of the trifle. It was made with boysenberries and blackberry jelly. About lunchtime I decided that I had to make one of my embroidered hearts for our lovely friend M's birthday. I usually potter over making them for several nights, but I worked like I was doing piecework in a sweatshop. Especially amazing since I was helping Mr Puppy's mum out by making up numbers at her Tupperware party. That took two hours, and surprisingly, was actually fun. Tupperware do make great products, and they last forever, however the prices are astronomical. I did order a cool lunchbox which will be perfect for school lunches over summer. Plus I won an egg separator in a competition. Anyway, once that was over it was back to the sweatshop. Somehow I managed to get the embroidery finished and the wee heart sewn up, stuffed with lavender and filling and fitted with its ribbon and button. Then I finished off the trifle and we rushed off to Mrs CT's place. There we had a lovely tea around the new dining room table. It felt like a big family meal. Mrs CT made a delicious coleslaw with produce from her little vege plot. Pop over to Canterbury Tales for a look. My trifle went down well. I'd like to experiment with individual ones, but a bit tricky when you never know who might be there. The little heart was a big success. M is a lovely, special person. Even though she has gone through terribly tough times, she is always there with wise words and an incredibly positive energy about her. She is going to have a amazing year travelling. I can't wait until she gets back and I can get her to practise her reiki and massage on me.
I can hear Mr B pounding at the earth around the back of the garage. He is starting work on steps. I can't see him staying out there too long. I've got curtains to make for my room. I have some pretty tablecloths to make them out of. I got sheets for the lining. I'm feeling way too sluggish to do anything much, and would love a swim.
I will leave you with some more of the china monuments on the graves over the back. I find them fascinating. They are on graves from the 1910's to 1020's, so have lasted a long time. I noticed the one with the iris on it was broken after the mower man had been, and I must see if I can repair it before it gets scattered.

No matter who it is, there are stumbling blocks along the way if you find some critical piece of data appears to be missing. We have discovered the following about this specific subject, and we want to expand on it and give some additional understanding.
The general complexities of women's and men's style
Both women and men could feel the difficulties of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's style often seems a lot less difficult. Of program, for both genders, clothes and style choices may be equally as complex, and there are several'trendy'items that could easily become fashion faux pas - who will say they often times see people travelling in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's style features a few staple goods that can exist forever - which man is going to look out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Pick basic pieces, colours and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.
Why basic men's fashion is eternal
The traditional man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous kinds for various functions, but they are all common in their pursuit of a smart, sharp look for the person. The best part about common fashion for men is that it is effortlessly trendy efficiently neat. A well-groomed man can typically appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the style of such apparel. A match will undoubtedly be worn to work in several careers because of the professional search it offers to the person, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Similarly a suit will undoubtedly be worn to several social functions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This amazing versatility which allows matches to be worn in just about all functions is what gives it its eternal edge and a permanent invest men's fashion.
Modern movements in traditional men's fashion
Though basic men's styles can never be changed, it's interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought certain classic clothes back in fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specially, has had back a wide-variety of classic models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress in a classic yet expensive way, operating in a sophisticated method and placing importance on appearance. This tendency for almost'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is evident from events like the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress in especially Victorian-style attire and decide to try the roads on vintage bikes - with most of the men wearing flawless mustaches! That is just one single of many samples of research presenting the resurgence of such designs. There are also numerous sites online which focus on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete websites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on basic men's fashion and grooming.
In conclusion, although specific issues with classic men's fashion can be brought back as new movements, the basic garments which they derive from will never slip out of fashion.
