Once again I am joining in with the What's Been on Your Calendar theme, hosted by Deb (normally in Australia, but currently in the UK!)
S
Southwold, one of my favourite places and a lovely location for a long weekend away with Coco.
E
Enjoying more normal routines after the six weeks school holidays - ah the bliss of four mornings to ourselves! There's still two school pick ups and a day of looking after Olive but that is much more relaxing than the holiday schedule.
P
Putting summer clothes away and returning winter outfits to the front of the wardrobe. Also time for warmer pyjamas!
T
Thinking about what I can wear to a Masquerade party in December. Suggestions will be very welcome. I'm thinking some wide leg silky trousers with a gold sequin top and a very fancy mask with feathers but that could all change!
E
Emptying out the freezer to defrost it ready for the Christmas goodies. Not a fun job but boy does it feel good when it is done and any suspect out of date bits have been cleared away.
M
My wedding anniversary! Forty four years - doesn't that sound a long time? We went to Maldon for a picnic on the green there and went to friends in the evening for drinks. Our proper treat to ourselves was our long weekend in Southwold the following weekend.
B
Blood tests done as part of our annual health check. There's always something slightly out of range that gets shown up. There’s a bit of a question mark over my cholesterol levels 😬
E
Enjoying joining in a Knit & Natter group. Through spending two or three hours in a creative atmosphere means I have finished Rachel’s jumper and started knitting a baby cardigan to send to Ukraine via a local charity drive.
R
Replacing the shower unit in our ensuite. The existing one was 20 years old so we've had our monies worth! It isn't until you replace old with new that we realised how discoloured the shower tray has become.
Reopening of our town park, there has been a lot of tidying up, renovation of the coffee shop, planting of wildflowers,archaeological digs, building of skate parks and extra play equipment. It’s a lovely place to visit and walk along the River Stort and it was a lovely sunny afternoon at the beginning of the month for the ‘ribbon cutting’ ceremony.
So all that is left to share is my month so far in pictures, 1 Second Everyday
Hi, Deb - What a lovely month you've had. Thank you for being a regular contributor to #wboyc. Try as I may, I cannot comment on your posts from my computer (mac air), but I can from my phone (Samsung). I wonder if this is also happening to others
ReplyDeleteI haven’t heard of anyone having problems, but strangely I have the same issue with some blogs on my own computer! Mine is an older Mac and the browser is t supported by some websites apparently. I have to comment on some blogs on the Mac and some on my iPad! Thank you for persevering!
DeleteHi Donna, I have the same problem but can also comment if I come in from Safari rather than Chrome or Firefox.
DeleteWhat a lovely wrap up of your month! Happy belated Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuch a lovely month! How nice to have the park reopened - with a renovated coffee shop! I know a pup who would love to walk with you there:) Perhaps a nice place to enjoy those free mornings! Happiest anniversary wishes!!
ReplyDeleteIt really has made the parks such an interesting place to visit.
DeleteI love these monthly posts. Even little things can be memorable!
ReplyDeleteIt really does make you realise what the month held, all the smaller things which may be forgotten.
DeleteWhat a lovely September you had. Happy belated anniversary wishes.
ReplyDeleteGlad you and the hubs and Coco could celebrate 44 years of marriage together. I know Coco probably hasn't been a part of the family for all 44 years but she is a big part of the fam now.
ReplyDeleteI know you are welcoming back the quiet mornings that the opening of school allows for. And the weather is so pleasant in the mornings in autumn, nice for walks or time out on your pretty patio. We are still having triple digits!! So tired of the heat.
I think your masquerade costume sounds delightful. Wonder about adding a few dangly gold belly-dancer-type chains at the waist? Love the idea of a bejeweled/befeathered?? mask. I hope to dress for Halloween this year. Might have to work around the boot, though.
Have an equally lovely October, friend. Your crochet work is a blessing.
Hi Deb, it seems strange that I'm in the UK with you for these few weeks! I loved your monthly update and always enjoy seeing what you've been up to. We also celebrated 44 years in januray this year, it does sound a long time doesn't it? Congrats to you both.
ReplyDeleteHappy wedding anniversary - 44 years is quite the achievement. Thanks for linking up with us.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, congratulations to you and P for 44 years! And how lovely that your park has been reopened after its refurb.
