🍁🍂🍃
Day 1 A trip to Hobbycraft for a small length of fabric ended up with a bit of early Christmas shopping in a totally different shop.Day 2 A neighbour came round for a cup of tea and we had a crafting afternoon - great fun.
Day 3 Met up with a couple of old school friends in the evening for a fantastic Indian meal - time flies when the three of us get together!
Day 4 Our little munchkin was here again today
Day 5 Finished the blanket I've been making for Leo out of an off cut of fabric that my neighbour gave to me.
Day 6 Decorating a few more doors - it seems never ending but the end is in sight.
Day 7 Everyone here for Sunday lunch
Day 8 Made the soup that I'm going to be sharing in Leslie's blog hop
Day 9 Went to The Pantaloon's production of As You Like It - I never knew Shakespeare could be so funny, this theatre company are amazing, I had tears of laughter running down my face at times.
Day 10 Hair cut day - always feels so nice to be neat and tidy again!
Day 11 Looking after Leo today
Day 12 Decided to treat myself to a luxury manicure - boy have I been neglecting my nails
Day 13 Evening at our friends sharing an Indian takeaway and maybe a little too much wine.
Day 14 Invited out for Sunday lunch (this never normally happens, I'm usually the one in the kitchen!)
Day 15 As my daughter had a growth scan this morning I was given the pleasure of accompanying Leo to his pre-school group - needless to say I was the oldest person in the room!
Day 16 After an exhausting hour of Zumba the tiniest bit of decorating was done
Day 17 Went to the funeral of my Auntie Brenda.
Day 18 Went into town with Leo, did my weekly shop, (plus a bit of unexpected sales shopping) then an afternoon in the park feeding the ducks.
Day 19 Very happy to discover that the green in the top that I bought yesterday perfectly matches the green of the trousers I bought recently
Day 20 Cracking on with the decorating, all neutral walls painted and now onto the end wall which we are painting a much darker colour. (excuse patchiness, this was the first coat and I'm thinking it may need three to get a good finish)
Day 21 Sunday routine resumes with 91 year old mother in law, daughter and family here.
Day 22 Took Leo to pre school as they were going on a nature walk and his 33 week pregnant mummy did not feel up to chasing him around the woods while picking up leaves and sticks.
Day 23 Our very scruffy looking dog went for her 6 weekly groom and came home looking pristinely white and tidy - that won't last long!
Day 24 Last bit of decorating done, new lampshades in place and I can't tell you how pleased I am to have this finished.
Day 25 Day started at 1am when I woke feeling awful, everything hurt, I was hot then cold, mind galloping along at 100 mph; not the best way to feel on the day I am looking after Leo.
Day 26 Woke feeling much better, must have been a 24 hour virus - or something I picked up from those little darlings at pre-school!
Day 27 Met up with friends in the evening for a meal in a traditional old countryside pub - made a nice change from eating in a restaurant, a wood fire burning in the bar and a friendly relaxed atmosphere (my husband would also add 'unusual local ales on tap' but I was happy with my Hendricks Gin & Tonic)
Day 28 Clocks went back an hour so in theory we had an extra hour's sleep - only no-one told Coco and she appeared in our room at her normal time - I guess it isn't just parents of small children that don't get to appreciate the extra hour!
Day 29 A catching up on housework day
Day 30 Halloween themed Zumba today, ended up with a mix of looks - Skeleton legs, cat eye mask and witches hat - must put more thought into it next year!
Day 31 And so another month bites the dust - happy halloween!
This month I am following the rules (didn't realise I was posting on a different day to everyone else, nor was I adding the link - doh!) so please join in or check out the blogs of the others who are jotting down their daily diaries this way!
I know I type this every month, but I do love these monthly round-ups. Lots of lovely stuff in there and I was sorry to read that you had a funeral to attend.
ReplyDeleteI've just posted nearly a week late, eek! Well done on finishing the decorating. Halloween zumba sounds fun. Lots of highs and lows for you this month!
ReplyDeleteI have begun trying to read blog posts on my phone which really requires better eye sight than mine but I thought it would allow me to read posts more regularly. I know that I read your Sentence a Day post and thought your loft wall color was perfection. what a beautiful space you have created!
