Saturday 4 October 2008

I can't believe it's October already. It's dark when I get up in the mornings, the evenings are getting darker earlier and it's definitely colder. Never mind - think steaming mugs of hot chocolate, sitting by a fire, with a lovely warming casserole... mmmmm!

Happy Birthday Stella & Rik if either of you read this - I hope your respective cards arrived in time - we've had terrible trouble with post down this end of the country - and you both had nice birthdays.

So what's new in my world? I've ditched the braids I had in for the last 7 weeks - they were lovely, but started to go a bit 'fluffy' and definitely getting heavy so I got rid of them. However I've also decided to ditch the blonde - it's autumn now so a change was needed. I'm currently sitting typing with some rather colourful red dye on my hair! Well - it's a long time since I've been red so I thought I'd give it another go.

Knitting. Now there's a thing. Not something I ever thought I'd get into - but actually I bought a book a few days ago and am getting quite into it. It's quite therapeutic just sitting clicking away on the sofa while (not really) watching tv. I certainly wouldn't claim to be an expert after less than a week - but I've got 3 squares now that hopefully will become something interesting...!

Right - time to wash off the hair dye. Then I think it's definitely time for little drinkies...

1. Hmmm. Hopefully with you by now? Although to be honest I've had so much stuff go missing this end over the last few months it's ridiculous. I shall keep my fingers crossed it got to you, but I remain slightly sceptical unfortunately.

2. Photos to follow once I've had a chance to catch up after holiday. Braids were fun - not sure I got any photos. Blonde and waist length.

3. Don't remind me!

It was great - more to follow...
