Personal musings of Marianne Taylor

Sleepless nights and colour-coded wardrobes

14th July 2008

For some reason I couldn’t get to sleep last night. I spent the whole night tossing and turning and getting up every hour to go observe the progress on the huge (human-size, seriously!) web, which a monster spider was working on outside our kitchen door (fixing of which, by the way, has finally been finished – I think). It was sort of fascinating and repulsive at the same time. Anyways, feel kind of out of it today. Not so much sleepy, but that sort of tired hysteria just bubbling under.

The weekend itself was rather nice. On Saturday I didn’t do anything, as planned. Which was lovely, and very much needed. Sunday was spent cleaning since I realised this was pretty much the last weekend we’d get a change to clean before going on holiday Friday next week (which, by the way, is my birthday :P), as next weekend we’ll be in Saffron Walden.

Organising my wardrobe

As a part of Sunday’s cleaning operation I attempted to organise my wardrobe by colour. It didn’t really work that well since everything I own seems to be muti-coloured, and -patterned. Umm. What it does show quite clearly is that I don’t own that many pink clothes! And almost none white. Ever since I had to downgrade from my old walk-in-wardrobe to one rail and chest of drawers, I have been forced to do some heavy
editing. So, even if my wardrobe is a lot smaller these days, and a cacophony of patterns, it’s somehow more functional than before (which doesn’t mean I wouldn’t miss my old walk-in-wardrobe dearly).

It’s lovely and sunny today. So sunny in fact that I was lured into walking to work from Waterloo. A sunny walk sure beats the tube, even if it takes a bit longer. Here’s hoping the sun will stay with us and make this week a more positive one than the last.

    I wish I had your wardrobe! – No, not the closet itself but the contents of it 🙂 If I kept a wardrobe diary on my blog as you do, it would be utmost boring since my collection of clothes is so limited. I always decide to get new clothes and fashionable ones, but somehow I always end up finding myself in a bookshop…
