I got a bit carried away by the sunshine and felt an overpowering urge to varnish my toenails. Now, I don’t expect to be out of opaques and boots for some time yet but just on the offchance, I felt I must paint my nails. I imagine it’s similar to the same compulsion felt by birds to build a nest. I varnish my fingers mostly nude for the week (low maintenance) or dark red – with occasional forays into navy – in the winter and coral in the summer. But I always feel I can be a bit more outré on my toes. So I have on a shimmery dark teal – the sort of colour you imagine a mermaid’s rail would be. I bought it for my fingers but realised I looked as if I thought I was still 13. On my toes however it looks....faintly subversive. And I rather like that.
But the iridescent quality must be achieved with lead filings or something as, after a virtuous weekend, I had put on 1 ½ lbs this morning. This does not make for a cheery start to the week. Aren't Mondays hard enough without this sort of mindf*ckery? SoD had better sort out its act by Wednesday or no amount of sunshine will be able to lift my mood.

Grrrr - although I'm already out of boots and opaques (would rather freeze than wear them for a moment longer than necessary) I have not yet got round to doing the toenails! I had better not if you are correct about the lead filings as I too have had a gain on the scales this morning, just in time for WI tonight!! Aaaargh.
I hope the SoD relent in time for your official WI.

I'm all set for Summer, just in time for the weather to turn at the weekend!
Fingers crossed SoD are kind to you on Wednesday x
Loving the sound of the shimmery dark teal. Gorgeous. Less so the gain - but courage, mon brave! You've got a couple of days yet, the SoD may yet relent.
Sx
