It was a busy weekend – started by Friday night’s shenanigans being dressed up as a nun for the Sound of Music Sing-a-long. I only managed to get one paltry photo taken without the flash, while in the office, so it’s incredibly unflattering (like most photos of me) … anyway, it gives you an idea of how I wandered around Sydney train stations and streets for the evening. We had a blast, and really enjoyed our meal at Retro Cafe next door to the theatre before the show.
Saturday I went with Katie to my hairdressers for a MUCH needed haircut!! I had to cancel a couple of weeks ago due to my vertigo/virus. I am now thrilled to be sporting a fringe once again, along with a couple of inches off the length … woohoo!!! 😀
While we were there we also decided to go the whole hog and had a beauty session while the other person was having a haircut. I got my eyebrows shaped and had my … shock, horror … first EVER pedicure!!! Oh boy, was it lovely – I enjoyed every minute of the pampering. I’ve been a tad stressed at work fairly recently, so it was really good to chill out and do nothing for the morning. Unfortunately, though, I was so exhausted afterwards (thanks to an early morning start) I ended up having a nana nap in the early evening … which didn’t help with the evening sleeping ritual … I ended up getting back up at 10pm and continued stitching my pin pillow exchange piece!
Sunday saw me getting up relatively late, but the entire day was spent in front of the gogglebox clearing up the hard-drive and watching Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Fringe and Good News Week episodes … but I DID manage to get the final stitches into my pin pillow exchange, and made it up in the little pillow … now it’s sitting in its padded envelope waiting for a visit to the Post Office during the week 😀
After finishing my exchange piece, I started a new Christmas ornament from an old JCS issue that I’d already got kitted up from a couple of years ago – I made an OK start into that one while watching TV last night … and I’ll put a few more stitches into it tonight.
Tomorrow I’m heading off to my GP to check a few things checked out – my lightheadedness continues, unfortunately, so I’m going to ask to get my blood pressure checked out. I’ve also had really bad acid reflux over the last few months, so that’s also on the list … better to be safe than sorry, I guess! And on that note, it’s time to go get some soup for dinner and settle in front of the TV for an hour or two 🙂
Feather Stitching 
Good luck at the GP. You look great as a nun.
The nun costume is a hoot!
Great start on the ornie, and I hope you get your health issues sorted out.
I’ve never had a pedicure either and I watch the people getting them every time I have a manicure. I often wonder what it is like. But I don’t know how I’d feel about someone messing with my feet. But your little piggies look so sweet with their red polish 😉
Maybe I should get my piggies buffed and polished too soon….
lol Anne, you look so “angelic”, hee hee. I recently had my first ever pedicure and what a treat it was – I’m definately going back again for another soon. have a good week and I hope your health issues come right asap!
Lookin good as a nun…Sister Mary Anne!
If nuns looked that fun IRL, I might convert. 😉 Looks like a great time was had by all. Hooray!
You looked fab in your nun costume, Anne! And from the sneak peek you gave, I think that pin pillow is just up my alley. Maybe the postal service will accidentally route it my way? 😉 I have never had a pedicure, either. And only had a manicure once, for my wedding. I’m not exactly the girliest girl. LOL.
