Kimono My House

 Style Not Age Challenge

Dear friends.  It's the last Monday of the month so time for the Style Not Age Challenge.  It was my turn and I've chosen Kimono My House. Some of you will remember that as the title of an eponymous Sparks album in the 70s.

Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot

Is This Mutton has 4 Things for Friday as well as the Weekend Traffic Jam reboot

 
Dear friends.  Here are my 4 Things for Friday. 

  1. Thank you: To the people of the Greek island of Rhodes, who worked in shifts to help the thousands of tourists stranded by forest fires and hotel closures. They provided  food, drink and blankets, and in some cases a bed in their own home. 
  2. TV prog:  it's an old one but we've only just discovered it - Godless on Netflix. In the 1880s American West, murderous outlaw gang leader Frank Griffin hunts for ex-protege Roy Goode. Lots of gun toting WOMEN in this one. 
  3. Book: if you want a psychological thriller with a twist that really surprises, try Three Sisters by OJ Mullen. See my review. 
  4. Podcast: Into the Dirt (Tortoise). Six episodes tell how Rob Moore became a spy in corporate intelligence, after a successful career in television. He was tasked to extract information from an environmental organization,but eventually became sympathetic to their aims. 

I'm back tomorrow - Saturday - with my highlights of July 2023, including a wedding in Devon, one of the biggest horticultural shows, and Paul McCartney's photography exhibition. 


Without further ado, let's get the weekend party started! Marsha, Emma and I am now co-hosting Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, which features content on every topic under the sun. 

Last Week's Favorite - Most Clicked

Casual Summer Recipe

 & WowOnWednesday

Gail Hanlon from Is This Mutton in a summer outfit for chillier days: denim jacket, shorts, striped tee and white trainers.


Dear friends. The weather wasn't good for most of July on this particular island  (the UK) so cardigans or jackets have been needed on most days. While it would have been nice to have more sunny days, we escaped lightly when you look at the horrendous temperatures in Europe and the forest fires.
