We bought this guy today, to munch on the tiny flies we sometimes find in the kitchen! Dead easy to care for, and we’ve already fed him his first fly which was fun. It made me jump as it snapped so quickly!

I’m finally feeling well enough to do fun things again! This evening after work Nic and I headed out to Crystal Palace to see where the wind took us. We ended up at a new to us Mexican place!

02/09/21 – Tropical Croydon
Back in London, which means back to our local walks! This evening we discovered some cheeky grapes growing hidden away in a larger bush. Even though I know grapes can grow in the UK is still surprises me when I stumble across them! I’m in a great mood today, so I’m holding onto it!
01/09/21 – Last minute meandering
One last lunchtime walk with mum before I headed back to London this evening! Taking in the lovely petunias along the way, and savoring my last few hours hanging out with mum.

Lovely chance to spend some quality time with just my sister and mum today!

I’ve had a blast today playing with my niece and nephew. My sister’s not a big fan of photos of them online so you’ll have to make do with me in my childhood bedroom! This room brings backs floods of happy memories growing up. But I do wonder what I was thinking with it beingContinue reading “29/08/21 – Childhood bedroom”
28/08/21 – I made it to Cardiff!
Albeit three days later than planned, I have finally made it back to Cardiff after waking up this morning feeling so much better than the entirety of last week. Luckily the drive was easy breezy and now I get to hang out with my mum, sister and her kids for the long weekend. Lovely stuff!
27/08/21 – Out of the house!
Last night I ended up getting 10.5 hours of sleep!! Night Nurse thoroughly knocked me out and I woke up feeling much less rough than the last few days. A day of reading and relaxing finally made me feel like I’m on the mend. I even went for a walk in the evening!
26/08/21 – Pulling out the big guns
It’s half nine and I’m in bed with a full dose of night nurse, let’s ditch this thing!! Another day feeling ill as anything so I’ve booked tomorrow off work and it’s time to sleep for 12 hours and get better!
