Purplicious

Apart from the obnoxious guy being a pr**k and me having to send him out of the class, I had a really good day. All my students turned up today, which is unheard of for a Friday. They worked hard and got through a lot.

Then my Wed/Thurs/Fri tutorial assistant and I went for coffee and slice at a cafe called Cocoon. It is her birthday on Sunday, so we had a wee celebration.

I left work about 330pm and went for a massage - my friend had very thoughtfully got me a 45minute voucher. It was a lovely place and my back feels a lot looser.....it was like a brick and the massage wasn't especially relaxing, but it still felt good.

I really like purple - it is probably my favourite colour for certain things. I have lots of purple clothes, but I am not going to inflict them on here, but I will inflict lots of other pictures. Sorry.

The first thing is the Japonica in my garden. It was tiny when I planted it and it has taken hold and spread all over the place.

Anti-Flamme. Excellent.

Flynn's purple collar. It is a bit girly as it has hibiscus on it, but I love hibiscus and he doesn't seem to mind. At the moment I take his colour off at night when he sleeps - because he sneaks into the bed in the cold hours and the collar feels freezing.

A very large amethyst ring from my extensive and possibly excessive jewellery collection.

My puma trainers. They are very practical as well as stylish.

An aubergine from my garden. They only grow to a small size, but taste good.

My absolutely fantastic Waitangi boots from Minx. I should have got the petrol blue ones when they came out (considering I lived in Otaki where the outlet store is). Silly, but I love this colour.

An amethyst crystal. I like how it shimmers.

And another one of my Trade Me purchases - not such a bargain this time, but it was in pristine condition when I got it.

I am so glad it is Friday night. I am looking forward to lots of stress free, work free relaxing this weekend. It is my birthday tomorrow, so such things are expected. Looking forward to tomorrow night especially. Yum!!!
