I shopped:

I got this amazing 1950s dress when I picked up another (which I neglected to photograph, terrible blogger that I am) from layby.
I had an op-shopping day with a friend (we lost steam rather early, though) and came away with a few interesting things...
Some more vinyl for my slowly growing collection (which is mainly made up of various 80s music and records I've bought for the kitsch value of their covers).
And two Pianola rolls. I don't have a pianola but if I ever get one these are sure going to be handy!
I wore clothes:

I knitted a little:
I'm currently trying to get through this 'parka' (the hat) as it is referred to in the pattern, though this is a parka to me. It's the first thing I've ever properly knitted so hopefully it turns out OK. Mum says I seem to be doing well.
I played ukulele:

I wore this to see Brand New. I looked a little out of place but it never bothers me. I was happy to be able to wear the bow-tie I bought the other week. Plus, you know, Brand New are part of my past (fell in love with them when I was about 17 or so) and it was a nice night of nostalgia.
Outfit details: earrings - Diva; bow-tie - Midwest trader; dress - church op-shop; shoes - Big W.

I also:
-danced at classes and at Stomp, which is a great way to start swing dancing (hint to anyone in Adelaide reading this who doesn't currently dance) as there are intro classes each week before the social.
-tweeted
-and answered some (but not all, because I am slack) questions.
Sorry for the slightly-longer-than-I-thought-it-would-be break but I am back now, hopefully for good. I'm not sure if I feel refreshed, exactly, but definitely happy to be back!
Just as an aside, this post shares its title with a rather dubious made-for-television film which I have somehow managed to see more than once.
Love,
