After 11 glorious days in Barbados and Martinique, a couple days in Fire Island and then a couple days visiting with dear friends in New Hope and finally returning to the Casa Friday... three days to recover at home, mostly spent in the garden taking care of a neglected garden of TLC...I had almost forgotten what a Monday felt like. But all the horrid feelings of getting up early on a Monday were just as shitty, lousy, miserable and rotten as I remembered. I love taking long vacations, because a few days does nothing to make you feel rested, but the only problem is it also makes it harder to go back to reality. But, were up now, and heading back to work, wish me luck.
Happy Monday dears!
I love the Pickle Sisters and the other pickles.
ReplyDeleteMy New Years Eve ensemble perhaps? I wonder how hard it would be to convince the clan to dress up as pickles???
DeleteOh so hard. Boys, do you want to dress up as pickles. Hell yes!
DeleteI agree with Michael about the other pickles.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! Jealous of all the fun you had.
XOXO
Ah, "Sweet Bird of Youth" - I think I met him once... Jx
ReplyDeleteONCE?!?!?!?!?
DeleteI got stuck on the martini on the book shelf. Books and booze, ah, yes.
ReplyDeleteI should have known, you'd know where to find the books AND THE BOOZE!
DeleteDon't your houseboys have a couple of gin cock-a-tails ready for you when you come home? That should ease your transition back to the work-a-day world, LOL!
ReplyDeleteA couple? The bar was lined up like a gin flight!!!
DeleteAbsolutely fabulous that you're back.
ReplyDeleteThis is like a pre-Autumn mood board - as in it almost looks autumnal, but not quite! Love the car.
ReplyDeleteI hope your first week back isn't too awful.
Sx
You and me both. I'd hate to hurt anyone. Or throw a pickle at them.
DeleteYou would look good in the Porsche, I bet you have the perfect hat for it.
ReplyDeleteBack when Porsche had style! And yes, I have a few hats just for that buggy.
DeleteThat Porsche has inspired me to take the MINI cabrio on today's winery adventure. Yes, I'm heading back for more.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! This was yet another whirlwind trip for me. I swear, I'm so ready to move one day out of here.
DeleteWhat is the Singing Gherkins best selling song?
ReplyDeleteOf the books the only one I've read is the Patrick Leigh-Fermor.
What? No Danielle Steele or Jackie Collins? 🤣 Jx
DeleteHeck, even I'd take Jackie Collins over Danielle Steele. At least she could get smutty.
DeleteHope the first day back wasn't awful. With any luck, the Houseboys were ready to pamper you when you returned from the tediousness of the job.
ReplyDeleteOh my word you are back with a vengeance. I love every photo but your Gherkin girls will haunt my mind for eternity
ReplyDeleteAnd to think, I'd thought you'd enjoy a pickle!
DeleteLove your moods.
ReplyDeleteLe nez du chat !
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ton mood board :)
La balustrade, le beach boy, la Porsche, le jardin secret, les desserts, les dames aux cornichons et la casita verdoyante.
Content de te revoir.
-BeauMec à Deauville
Merci mon ami ! Vous m'avez tous manqué.bisous
DeleteTwo things. 1- Welcome Back! and 2- Heavens have I MISSED you! All is right with the world again.
ReplyDeleteIs there a version of the photo of the young man in that boat with the mast up? I'm asking for a friend...
