Bristoletta: October 2010
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 22 October 2010. I’m no surrendered woman but I can’t deny that I get a shocking amount of pleasure out of baking treats for my boyfriend. The idea of being the little wife in the kitchen goes against all my feminist principles but still I can’t seem to stop. I blame Nigella. Catherine Mason, whose excellent recipe this is, suggests serving the cake with strong espresso. I don’t know about that but I found the baking process was helped along nicely by a large whisky. I’d hoped there’d...When I ha...

Bristoletta: April 2011
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 20 April 2011. Cohen and a camera. This evening I felt a real need to get out and do something active. I'd been planning all day to go to the street jazz dance class at the Community Dance Centre on Jacobs Wells Road but realised that it's closed for the Easter holiday. Thwarted of a good hour dancing around, and with the evening sun calling me, I headed down to the river instead. Monday, 11 April 2011. I also have a bunting necklace and, when a friend had a baby recently, I knew exactly what ...

Bristoletta: A Saturday stroll in springtime
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2011/04/saturday-stroll-in-springtime.html
Sunday, 3 April 2011. A Saturday stroll in springtime. We'd got to Welshback and were thinking of heading back home to begin those chores, when we heard some strains of gypsy jazz floating from the direction of The Old Duke. Labels: The Old Duke. 4 April 2011 at 08:25. That sounds like a lovely weekend! 4 April 2011 at 08:59. It was. And now its Monday. Oh well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bristoletta: Breakfast at Cox and Baloneys
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2011/03/breakfast-at-cox-and-baloney.html
Wednesday, 16 March 2011. Breakfast at Cox and Baloneys. In Breakfast at Tiffany's Holly Gollightly say her cure for the "mean reds" is to jumps in a taxi and head to the eponymous jewellers for some quality time among the diamonds. It calms me right down," she tells Paul Varjak, "The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there". But I think I've found my alternative. It didn't even feel like a shop, but more like the quirky, cluttered home of someone who I definitely w...

Bristoletta: Sshh
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2011/05/sshh.html
Monday, 23 May 2011. I've been neglecting my blogging duties recently - every time I've thought about sitting down to write something I find I have something else to do. I'm trying to do odd extra bits and pieces of writing here and there in my free time and I've also set myself various crafting activities which are probably beyond me but which I will blog about at a later date. However, all this industry has led me to discover Bristol Central Library, which is one of my new favourite places. I do unders...

Bristoletta: November 2010
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 November 2010. Charity shopping - happiness for all. I have a very stylish friend with an enviably canny eye for picking out gems in charity shops. She makes an outfit comprised largely of items purchased at the local hospice shop look like something picked from the pages of Vogue. I’ve spent some years analysing the secret of her success and have concluded that, apart from her natural sense of style (which sadly cannot be copied), the answer is fearlessness and spontaneity. I think I may fi...

Bristoletta: January 2011
http://bristoletta.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 January 2011. The colours haven't come out in photos as pretty as they are in real life, and it's not quite finished, but here are a couple of snaps. Sunday, 30 January 2011. Big questions and the Big Smoke. Sometimes life seems like one long struggle and this has been one of those weeks. I've been going through a period where I feel dissatisfied with everything, and as though I'm somehow failing at making a success of my life. Which got me thinking about what I need in order to feel that I've...
