Holy Moly.
So the new series of Sherlock starts on 1st January.
So soon! Seriously though, the 1st? That's a day for waking late and going for winter walks with friends not for watching TV! It's like they honestly couldn't wait any longer than that:
Happy 2012! Bam! Sherlock!
Oh, what to do? I'm clearly going to have to consider my NYE plans carefully this year.
1. Looking at this new promo pic while simultaneously listening to this tune.
So, I tried to go for this Downton Abbey inspired hairstyle today.
It was not as easy as the last one. I managed to get the front looking ok, although I don't have rats so it wasn't that poofy. But the back was well hard (I have a feeling they didn't have to contend with layers back in the day). In the end, I gave up and pinned it up with a clip.
Maybe next time I'll try the front from today with the back from yesterday. Or I'll try it with my cloche hat :D
I've been on a bit of an early-20th century kick. This is mostly because I've been watching too much Downton Abbey and looking at too many Edwardian photographs while at work.
So this morning I found a rather nifty-looking Edwardian hair tutorial and gave it a go.
It's a bit more matron than marchioness but I'm still rather chuffed with the way it turned out.
Maybe tomorrow I'll try for the full Lady Mary.
Today, I would also like to give a shout out to my blanket :D
My Mum knitted this thing years ago. I first got it when I took it away to university with me and it's been my companion ever since (it even came to New York for six months!) There's nothing like a blanket to snuggle into when it's cold. I tend to feel the cold each winter, no matter where I'm living, so this blanket gets an outing each year.
Apparently my current flat is normally a warm place, but at the moment THE HEATING IS BROKEN D: So today I've been rocking it with my blanket, my hot water bottle and copious amounts of hot chocolate. It's been pretty good, all told.
