Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Dress of the Day by Angela Lansbury. But also for the evening. Dress rehearsal for a one act play in which I play a tree-hugging type. So I am wearing paceful green and white.  The long white dress White is not a colour I like to wear when eating, unless I have a large white napkin or waterproof apron. However, these dresses are made of synthetic material and dry fast.

 Red and White Dress Quick to pull on stretcy red snd white dress. I have three similar in reds and oranges, one in turquoise. The red jacket has no ties. Less to dangle and get in the way. I could use a small brooch or one of those safety pin style brooches with fake pearls. Red Sandals Worn with black socks. Please share links to your favourite posts.

I worked out from another Russian word that the first letter was L.   What was the E with the two dots? The e pronounced like ay. The last letter looking like an H was N.  Lane/  The French for wool is laine. The word was not Russian for wool. I had invited a friend to lunch with me at a restaurant. I showed her the scarf. She suggested linen. That sounded like the letters L A for ay, N. But the scarf did not feel thick and heavy and tightly woven, like linene suits which are stiff, resembling denim jeans. Linen. However, a search for the Russian word for linen produced a match. So did copying the word as an image and asking...

I was in St Luke's charity shop in London looking for a brightly coloured scarf, and at the last minute decided to  try on this scarf with its subtle colours. In the end I bought this scarf because it felt soft and soothing.  When I got home I looked at the label. It said Cashmere and merino wool. Cashmere! That sounds expensive, exclusive, exotic. Cashmere is a different spelling of what English-speaking people call Kashmir. The technical term for changing the spelling is Anglicization. Cashmere is not sheep wool but from a goat. To sum up a long article on Wikipedia, the goat moults in spring, loses the hair it needs to keep warm in winter. You can do machine sheering, or comb it by hand. The tougher hairs are used in brushes and the softer ones for clothing. The goats have ...
