#WBOYC in September

 


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 Not a fun job but boy does it feel good when it is done and any suspect out of date bits have been cleared away.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

I 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!

Such 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!!
