COWSHED

Just a Minute in... July

Reading... How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran. I have to admit, this is slow progress, mainly because I have been distracted by Vogue, Tatler and Country Homes & Interiors, all of which I subscribe to.

Watching... This depends on whether M is with me or not. We have watched Bright Young Things on TV, Harry Potter 7 part 2 at the cinema and quite a lot of golf, together. I have also been watching series 3 of Gossip Girl and the Apprentice. I may be a little in love with Chuck Bass. Also at the start of July we watched a lot of Wimbledon.

Listening... So far this month I have driven to my parents house (3 hours away) twice and to Taunton and back numerous times. I listen to spotify on my iphone and my album playlists have included Pantha Du Prince, Sigur Ros, The Doors and lots of 80s/90s indie and metal including Alice in Chains which is good for a bit of motorway driving. Also, the Shopaholic series on audiobooks.


Buying... Things in the sale. Lots of Cowshed products, a few bargain pieces of workwear (including silk Hoss shirts for £5 each), two pairs of Kate Middleton-esque work shoes (nude pumps and canvas slingbacks). If people are interested, I can post more of this.

Loving... My new Cowshed candles, walking on the beach, Delilah, family weddings, my new nephew, lunching with lovely ladies.

Wanting... Longer weekends with M, proper summer sunshine, to see more of my friends.

Who is the Caitlin Moran everyone (Cate!) is gushing about?
I must look her up. I recently gave up/cancelled my mag descriptions, does that mean I'm doing SOMETHING right???

@Cate - shopping post coming soon...

@Kacey - maybe a spin off show?

@DTMS - It does. And Caitlin Moran is a columnist and writer who is extremely funny. Cate will tell you better. She SEEN her IRL :)
