My pink phase

These days, I notice that the colour pink is becoming increasingly attractive to me. I find myself searching in stationery shops for pink pens, my small handbag diary is, unbelievably, sparkly pink and yesterday, I noticed this pink rainhat and found myself thinking that it would probably be very useful for walking Paddy on rainy days  (for me to wear, not him!).
"I'm in my pink phase," I explained to friends recently when I fished out my pink diary to jot down our next lunch date. No comment was made, but did I imagine the slightly raised eyebrows?
Perhaps I missed out on this aspect of my early teenage years. Let's face it, it's quite a while ago, too long to remember.
Or maybe - and this is a lot more worrying - maybe, I am getting a little too close to my purple phase!

I have read it, Sage and I've always liked it.
John G, thank you, kind sir. :)
John M, there is no way I shall ever be tempted to have a purple rinse! Purple streaks - well, maybe. ;)

I was a tomboy in my younger years and started my pink phase a few years ago (it's still going on!) - I think what we miss out on in our early life we put back in later on. Glad I got most of my excesses out of the way years ago!

Pink is a great color for things you tend to misplace when you get older. Especially bright pink. Bright yellow works, too.

Hope you enjoyed your lunch, mrsnesbitt.
Rae, I was very good in my younger years - which doesn't bode well! ;)
Jan, you are right. Knew there was a reason behind this! :)

No problem, Flighty. ;)

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
