Oct. 19th, 2003 11:47 amHmpf. What's with all the autumn birthdays in my family? After work cake-making frenzy is becoming quite the routine... At least the chocolate & nuts & chocolate cream one for my mother was slightly less work intensive than the Black Forest cake my sister wanted. (Except that she hadn't returned the cake cover yet & I had to drive halfway across the city at 9 pm to get it. Ah well, the cake needed time to cool anyway.)
On a somewhat unrelated (not to mention highly random) note, rushing to the underground station I realised that I was dressed in nothing but shades of violet & purple from suede coat to doc martens.... purple corduroy skirt, darkish pink spaghetti strap top, flower patterned transparent top & purple crochet top. I've always liked this colour and used to wear it a lot years & years ago, well, before.... when I was younger, more idealistic, less disillusioned & life generally was still comparatively uncomplicated and depression-free. Er.
I always kept the odd purple/violet item in my wardrobe, but used them much more sparingly. So this felt good in a slightly nostalgic, slightly regressive way; like rediscovering something while not being entirely sure it still applies to you or what, if anything, it means...
Okay, shower, then family lunch.
