7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol 148)
1
Conversations are complex and have the potential for mis-interpretation, the speaker could mean one thing and the listener hears another. Take a conversation PC and I had last week
PC:”Have you worked out what clothes you’re taking to the wedding?”
Me:”Not quite, I need to get onto that.”
He means: Have you looked through your cupboard.
I hear: You best go shopping.

Talking wedding, I have finally found a scarf to go with my cocktail dress, I ended up finding the most perfect silver shade, which worked out far better than gold. I have silver shoes, so good there, and today I had the most delightful morning with a friend, who not only gave me a dress for the Ladies Afternoon Tea, but lent me her pearls!!

Exercising with regularity here, mostly rowing and work on core stomach muscles using Bikini Body Mommy’s Ab Moves for a Flat Tummy. Truly amazing, in 4 days I can already see definition back! Very heartening.

Princess and I thoroughly enjoyed a mother/daughter morning out this week, our choice of activity was op-shopping. She’s a girl after my heart, she loves a bargain and she loves clothes, she has a real eye for fashion and style.

News for Campion College fans, Campion now has a blog, Core Conversations. A combination of deep, reflective posts written by the lecturers and some student happenings.

The last few days have been a learning curve with blogging technology and re-vamping my blog look. I learnt how to create html codes, though I ended up not needing them, I learnt how to create picture labels and a whole new blog banner in picmonkey, thanks Gae🙂 and revamped and reorganised my labels for easier searching, also discovering how to add/delete labels in bulk batches, thanks PC, and added social media buttons:) My blog, actually both my blogs have received a facelift, actually all three websites also received new theme colours.

In a little over a week we begin Term 2, I really should give some thought to learning direction and lesson specifications, truth is though, I’m having a lazy holiday.
Visit Camp Patton for more 7 Quick Takes, Julia is hosting once again this week. Fantastic news is Jennifer is taking baby Joseph home🙂

I had plans to do a tut, and I still plan to share a few other tips, but the best tut I've seen my friend Gae has just put up! very clear and concise.

Sounds like a great week. In the conversation between you and hubby, I would have been the one focussing on the closet, and he would have been the one talking about me going shopping!
It's great that your exercises are so effective! Good job!
I'm going to check out that link about pictures. There's so much to learn about blogging! 🙂

Once upon a time I wasn't so interested in clothes, but now I have two daughters who are so I've got to keep pace;)
How did you get on with the picture post?
Leanne
Hoping to get to it soon, thanks.
