I noticed that all my immediate neighbours are away today. This means I can take a few photos outdoors in the evening light without questions being asked. Although people are not especially nosey or lean over the wall to chat much, most of the partition between properties is glass and so there's no proper privacy ... unless they're out.
I'm wearing a summer dress that I've not been able to get into properly as a dress for quite some while, although it's doubled as a tunic with leggings on occasion. I tried it with an enhancer bra but I realised I'm still not quite slim enough for that and couldn't fasten the buttons at the front of the dress without gaps showing between them so I've just got a normal underwired bra and my natural bust. My tummy is almost flat now; just a few more kilos / pounds to lose and I'll be seeing more of an hourglass figure again at last. I have to thank the hot weather for killing my appetite ... although ice cream does feature quite regularly!
I don't do bare legs even if it is 32°C (90°F) so my soft micronet tights in a dark natural shade (these ones by Jonathan Aston) are doing good service in shaping my legs, matching my tan and keeping me cool. I thought some black ballet flats would match the look best.
Here's me just now with Arnold the Olive (and the little palm tree that some bird seeded last year and which is also coming along).
It is lovely being a woman. And being outdoors in a little dress in the warm is the cherry (or three cherries) on that particular cake.
