we just exchanged emails with Someone very Glamorous who is en route from one major city On The Continent (as we used to say in British boarding school land) to Another……and we asked them if they were going to be soignée in a cafe or drift elegantly through impressionist paintings……we do hope they Are (hint, dear one).
Here’s our weekend thus far:

Admiring shop windows.

Cafe creme.

Antiquarian book fair.

Bubbly feeling post energetic swimming-ness

Strolling.

thought provoking reading
Tell us about your day, darlings.
And don’t underestimate the power of kindness to soothe a troubled soul….

About teamgloria
I used to make my living from writing. And then it all stopped and so I went and did something else, part of which entailed a whole new look from Brooks Brothers (it wasn’t really me, but it was necessary). But a decade later I started to write again (during nights and weekends and frustrated lunch-times and long haul business travel) and one of the things I wrote (or came to me – as I do believe in the whole Muse concept) was a character called Gloria.
Gloria was a trainee angel and sat “up there” waiting for her first assignment. To occupy the hours she should have been studying humans and their foibles, she spent her time enjoying the new celestial movies-on-demand channel and became obsessed by Doris Day. So you can imagine the drama that unfolded when she came to Earth. Quite a shock to the system. But Gloria was determined to see Manhattan through the eyes of a vintage Doris Day movie and something magical started to happen – to me too.
Because I started to do the same thing and life became easier (and then I got Tobias the tumor which changed the trajectory, for now).
There are a lot of glorious people, places & things that help me get through my day – they make my life great – and so I call them “team gloria” (although they don’t usually know that). So I thought I’d start documenting them, and looking out for new people, places & things on a daily basis, and sharing them with you (whomever you are – do say hello. Oh, and tell me who your team gloria is :-)
“Energetic Swimmingness” – that sounds sumptuous.
Just doing a little language practice around here today. Le Passé Composé, with a side serving of Johnny Depp. (http://tinyurl.com/8yyje4j)
