Tuesday

Good morning, everyone.  Yesterday was dull and gloomy, not too wet but definitely on the 'getting a bit more chilly' side of life.  It is half way through October, after all!  Today is forecast to be dry but not a glimpse of sun.  Dull and gloomy again.  I think I might light some of my candles later on this afternoon, just to cheer things up.

Thank you all so much for the Bonfire food suggestions.  I now have a good list of ideas and can start sourcing recipes for them.  Cheers!

It was so nice to get back to normal again yesterday.  Everything is again in its usual state of slight disarray and it feels cosy and comfortable.  I did some cooking, some housework, a bit of ironing: all the usual stuff, in fact.  Nice.

The Windows Man came round at twelve, did his act (and did it very well, I thought), answered questions, measured up and left me with a quote which, I have to say, was less than I had anticipated, even without the garage door replacement (they only do electric doors and there's no power in my garage).  So that's one.  Now to get the next one to come.

My student was full of the residential week the whole of their year was away on last week.  They all seem to have had a very good time.

Today looks quite full.

C from over the cul de sac is coming over for coffee and a chat this morning.  We've both been pretty busy going away so I haven't seen her properly for a while, we've just exchanged greetings in passing.

Then I have an aqua class booked for twelve o'clock.  I must repack my swimming bag as I took stuff out for the Center Parcs holiday.

Straight after that will be tuition so before anything else this morning I must look over the planning in the relevant folder and make sure it's all in order.

And I really ought to change my sheets and get them washed, dried and ironed.  I wonder if it's worth putting them outside to catch the air, at least, even if they don't completely dry.  I'll see what it's like when the time comes.

Definitely back to normal!  :-)
Have a great day.  xx

I've just come back in to say just watch this - aren't they cute?  I shall definitely be giving this a go to have with my spiced pumpkin soup!  I love them.
