Over the weekend I watched the latest couple of Doctor Who episode, while I would not classify myself as a fan I do enjoy the show. What struck me though was Karen Gillan's nails, I'm not usually a fan of "unnatural" nail colours. Unnatural is totally the wrong word but I can't think of a better one, I love pink, pearl, red, or some of the more earthy colours, but generally blues and greens don't do it for me. However like so many of my prejudices I may have to re-evaluate. Karen had blue nails, perfectly done, and perfectly toning with the rest of her outfit. I was also going to bring to your attention a horse called Susan but Meg has beaten me to it!
After work yesterday I met my friend B for a quick glass of beer and to pick up my birthday gift. This was the first time he had met Paula although we have been friends for over 40 years now, on balance he was pretty cool with the whole experience and reasonably complimentary about my presentation. I did make a point of wearing trousers and my lower heels so as not to stand out too much, I didn't want to give the poor boy a heart attack by turning up in a miniskirt and my highest heels, gently does it, next time I shall maybe bring out one of my longer dresses. It is his birthday next week so maybe I will threaten to take him out to dinner and see what happens.
Today it is back to normal working with lots and lots of gardening work stored up for the rest of the week, and on Wednesday a much needed trip to the osteopath before my rehearsal. All in all I'm not sure how I am going to fit in much Paula time over the next couple of weeks, but somehow I usually seem to manage a few hours here and there.

I really don't understand the appeal of painted nails, but that's probably because I don't understand anything girly really!
Like so many things the attraction of long painted nails dates back to a time when not everybody had to work, but those who did had to WORK. Having long nails meant that you were not toiling with the soil, washing, scrubbing or any of the other manual jobs. So long nails became a signal of the gentry, I suspect that the painting came later, but again then again it may just be the attraction of something shinny.
