Musings of a Polo Virgin on a Frivolous Friday

Don't you just love Fridays? I'm in a frivolous mood, a few lovely things happened today.

Firstly, everyone this side of the pond knows that weather is paramount...beautiful sunny day brings happy smiling people to the street.  Everything really does look shiny in the sun and today; our Sun Goddess has been frightfully nice and smiled on us all day!

Secondly, I actually rode my bike today...if you ever get stuck behind a lady on bicycle with a wicker basket...please resist the temptation to honk your horn.  Please...if I want to take a leisurely ride through scenic London, I will.

Thirdly, the seemingly impossible happened.  I have tickets to see the talented Lady Gaga in December!  Hooray for me, but especially for my BFF who will be designing himself a special out-fit for the evening!  We won't be competing for the best Gaga impersonator because he'll win.  Hands-down.

Lastly, I'm off to Polo in the Park this weekend.  Do I have anything new to wear?  Er, nope.   Seeing as this is my first time.  Here stands before you, a Polo Virgin...am I worried?  Strangely, no.  Mid-week I may have laid face down on the floor in front of a bursting-at-the-seams-can't-close-the-doors-wardrobe woefully chanting the 'I've-got-nothing-to-wear'  mantra.  However that all changed when someone suggested 'heels were a no-no and wellies should be worn'...as a precaution dear, it may just rain.  

Well, here we are back to the weather again... blame it on the sunshine, I just want to have fun, enjoy the matches and soak up the atmosphere.  So, out go the heels!  Doubtful that my wellies will make an appearance but if the suns out - the big floppy hat will be on.

Ooh and if I get a chance to stomp those divots, I will.


The lady rather likes this fetching red number!





PS:  For the record, my inner scribe will be on alert the whole day.

Hi Talei, Just paying a return visit and lovely to hear another writer fretting over wardrobe difficulties. A lovely slice of London life, it is sunny here too in Ireland but the rain is threatening again.

Hi Brigid! Lovely to have you visit and thanks for the follow too. I'm making offerings to the rain god to be nice to us all in London and Ireland tomorrow. ;)
I envy you seeing Lady Gaga. It strikes me that rain is as much a bully in England and Ireland as it is here in Louisiana -- always threatening, sometimes following through. Have a good time tomorrow regardless, Roland

Hello Roland, The Rain god was kind yesterday, just a few sun showers which were welcome in the heat. I'm looking forward to Lady Gaga - she is such a talented artist, love her music and her fashion taste. Thanks for visiting my blog. ;)

Hello Kathy, The red number is super sleek, quite sophisticated methinks. I'll be right over for tea! Thanks for posting and thank you the follow too. ;)
