I've spent the last 48 hours inebriated which explains why I'm looking as rough as a badger's nether regions in these photos.
From eating my body weight in Thai, Indian and Italian cuisine, mixing red, white & rose wine, Singha lager, sloe gin and India Pale Ale to skirmishing with demented grannies at jumble sales and lusting over artisan jewellery at a craft fair, taking delivery of some of the most amazing parcels from across the globe from glorious bloggers to re-acquainting myself with my favourite Mad-chester film (24 Hour Party People) I've done it all this weekend.
This is how I was dressed earlier but after getting halfway to the pub the front of my boot decided to detach itself and I had to hop back home in the pouring rain to change my footwear.

This parcel jam-packed with Florida sunshine arrived yesterday from the wonderful Ofelia. These fantastically colourful clothes will be perfect when I finally get to Goa. I just had to wear the Andy Warhol printed skirt today which attracted a fair bit of attention from the security guard in Lidl who insisted on following me round the shop. I can only assume he was a connoisseur of pop art.
Isn't the print fabulous?

I snaffled this 1970s leather patchwork bag from yesterday's jumble sale for a measly 10p.
Hope you've had an excellent weekend.
See you soon.
