Three Colours: Blue

1. The colour of the sky. It's bloody freezing for Sydney, but the sky is blue so I don't really mind.

2. The colour of Holden's winter school shirt. That's right, you don't only get the joy of nose-bleedingly expensive uniforms ONCE a year, you get it twice. He wasn't best pleased about being photographed.




3. The colour of this paisley vinyl. It belonged on my beloved 1960s chairs (that went with a long-gone formica topped table), which nobody liked except me. They have finally been usurped by some bog standard Thonet bentwoods. I took them to The Bower in the hope that someone else will love them.

Are Prep school boys really allowed to wear their shirts outside their shorts? What on earth is the world coming to! Holden is looking incredibly handsome these days and so much more mature. Can't wait to see him in person at Christmas.

Apparently they're even allowed to take their ties off in class. When outside of school grounds they are supposed to be immaculate. Hol revels in being a scruff - it's his minor rebellion. There's one master who is always telling the boys to tuck their shirts in, but nobody pays any attention.
