#WBOYC

 

The end of the year is speeding towards us, let’s see how October panned out as I join in with Australian Deb for What’s Been On Your Calendar

O

Olive had a birthday! She’s been bringing happiness to our family for three years now.  Presents were very much themed around Bluey and Frozen.

C

Christmas plans have been made! My son is hosting the celebrations this year. It is lovely to be the guests rather than the hosts nowadays.

Covid and flu vaccinations - trying to do all we can to keep safe this winter.

Tidying up the house. In an effort to speed up the decorating we decided to pay someone to come in and do it for us. Money well spent!  There has been a lot of decluttering and visits to the charity shops to donate things we really don't need to hold onto anymore.

O

Olive and I went to see The Tiger Who Came to Tea at our local theatre. She really enjoyed it.  It was a really good performance, sticking to the original book very authentically.

B

Bidding farewell to one of our Zumba teachers.  Her husband's job move means that her family are moving to Dubai.  A great opportunity for them and the start of an exciting new chapter.  We will miss her, she made classes so much fun but I know we will equally enjoy the return of our previous teacher.  The one who went to South America for six months at the end of last year - do we see a pattern emerging?

E

Entertaining, we had several groups of people over for various meals, but I need to learn to spread it out over the month rather than all in one week.  Three different meals in the space of six days was quite tiring!

R

Renewed our passports and found that the instructions for getting a suitable photo do not give the most flattering picture! I don’t think I ever go through passport control without a smile and not wearing my glasses 😆

Really thrilled to see the Northern Lights in the sky - so very pretty. I'm so pleased we got to see them.

So that was October - fancy seeing a 1 Second Everyday compilation?  Here it is!

See you next month!
