hips! Hoops!

I just discovered new ways to make bread unhealthy yet colourful:

this courtesy of the blog Sunday Hotpants. Coloured milk, painted on bread, and then you toast the bread. Simple really. I'm fighting a powerful urge to make Fairy Bread now. I wasn't really exposed to these sorts of things as a child, so I rather enjoy the wonder of it now.

I picked up my red-and-white hula hoop for the first time in a while today. The weather's getting sufficiently clement for me to start making an ass of myself outdoors again, and I'm under a strict injunction from the doctor to not be such a goth and get some Vitamin D in me.

Exploring the new and frightening world of hotpants, I came across some merino wool short shorts online. This is all very new to me - the idea of wool around one's bottom seems perilous but apparently it's not. I'm trying to ascertain whether one wears these as actual shorts or as undies, either way they seem like they'd make acceptable shorts for warm days. Very tempted to make these the garments for my Show Your Damn Legs challenge...
