I feel like Nic and I achieved a lot today. A slightly hungover 7am start but that didn’t stop us. We picked up decorating supplies for the master bedroom (with time to say hello to the bunnies in Pets at Home), painted a first coat of base coat and still had time for a really nice relaxing afternoon together. Success!

Off into central today with dark clouds over hanging. My visit was a happy one however, meeting up with my lovely friend Fiona (pictured on this blog a couple months ago at her wedding!).

We went to a pub and nattered for hours whilst the rain poured down outside. One of those days that flies by too fast and you’re already booking in the next visit.

Halloween has always scared me a bit. I think it’s from when I lived in Newport and it was a day full of yobs throwing eggs at cars…

This evening I sat in the living room listening to an audio book in the dark. We didn’t have any sweets in the house anyway!

We bought a big compost big yesterday which mean today it was time to clear out the vegetable plants.

An hour later and we have 1.7kg of green tomatoes to play with! We’re thinking a green tomato pasta sauce, or frying them up, anything but chutney as I’m not a big fan… Good haul though!

All of Nic’s family headed off this morning. As I’ve been so ill recently and it has been a very full-on week, we decided to take advantage of a lazy Sunday.

Our achievement of the day was going to Norwood Lakes for a nice walk. A really lovely and calming end to a hectic week.

I’m not quite over this illness malarkey. Despite that, I still managed to drag myself onto my bike and into work. The fog was quite impressive today. I’m now officially cycling home in the dark, but it was pretty atmospheric this evening.
