On June 4th, the Bachelorette is in Bermuda. They were here a month or so ago filming the episode and I know they were out in Tucker's for some of the show.
I am not a big fan of the show but I will definitely tune in to see what they cover and where they have their dates. Put it on your calendar!
I LOVE these running shorts. The size medium fits like a dream. It is super comfortable. The compression shorts underneath fit really well. Perfect length and not too tight.
I wore this exact color last Thursday for the Bermuda Half Marathon Derby (and I did pretty darn well considering the 95% humidity.)
I highly recommend this skirt. It comes in a few different colors. So, besides the slate color pictured here, I just went online and bought it in black, blue and rouge.
I am a big fan of running skirts. They aren't clingy like shorts can be. And even when you sweat they don't really stick to you. I don't know, maybe it is all those years of playing field hockey and lacrosse in a kilt...
Last Friday night, Masterworks had a wine tasting and quiz night. We had a great time even if we didn't come in first. I have definitely learned that drinking does not help my quiz night aptitude.
A self portrait
This does not do it justice. I was drenched. Soaked.
I don't know if it is a spin off of tropical storm Alberto but we had a grey weekend here and a grey Monday. We are evening getting some rain which is nice. It is supposed to be like this throughout the week which will be good for the half marathon on Thursday. The only problem is that the humidity is 92% which is miserable. And the A/C has been out all day at work. Yuck. Yuck.
This is a British show that runs on ITV. I am a big fan. I ran across it by accident but have watched it ever since. It is a detective drama that started in the late 90s and still runs today. Some episodes are a bit better than others but it is usually a pretty good "whodunit?" The actor who plays the head detective has just left the show, so I cannot say how his replacement is - but I am sure he is still pretty good.
Don't get me wrong. I love my kindle. I've read quite a few books on it and it is great to take on a trip. It doesn't weigh much and it can carry a lot of books. So, instead of lugging around a couple of books in your bag. This does all the work.
My annoyance is with how it gets formatted for the screen. I realize there are old people who use these and increase the font so they can see the text. Maybe that is why the put a percentage finished on the bottom instead of page numbers. I want page numbers.
I am reading the third installment in the Song of Ice and Fire series (better know by the HBO series named after the first book, the Game of Thrones series.) I was warned it was a long book. But, I bought it on my kindle so I didn't know how long. I've a pretty good idea it is long considering the amount I've read and how little the percentage has increased. But, it still isn't totally clear. I ended up googling the book to figure out the length - which is over 1,000 pages! That is a long book. As of last night, I think I am about 80% finished so it should be completed by this weekend.
The 4th and 5th books have been published but I think I am going to take a little break. The first two books were long but not 1,000 pages each. I've got a stack of real books to work on. I think I'll try to make a dent on those for a while. Maybe pick up the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy? Not sure. But summer is here in Bermuda. It has been here for weeks, so the summer reading should be well on its way.
Last time I was in the States and had my usual Target run, I ran into this...
Printed duck tape. How cool is that? Liven up those boring packages with some cool printed tape on the outside. I would have bought some but I couldn't think when I would use it in Bermuda.
So, my family on my maternal side takes great pride in its Scottish roots. My mom and her sisters went to Scotland last summer to visit the ancestral home. The family beach house was christened "Scots and Water." So, this is some serious stuff. Well, it appears not everyone on that side of the family takes pride in all things Scottish. Especially when it is the form of a very loud bagpiper!!
Love this picture of my cousin and her adorable son...
She posted this on facebook but I thought it was hilarious.
