Went to a fireworks display in a village close to me (New Buckenham). It was great... Hot punch, doughnuts and brilliant fireworks. Kids loved it and so did I.

Nice. We’re off to a fireworks event tonight.

Yesterday I had a rare lazy day. I did some laundry, had a 2 hour nap, walked to the supermarket to pick up wine and chocolate, then sat in the garden with fire pit on drinking my wine and eating chocolate. Was glorious.

Got up early. Had breakfast. Fed the cats. Pre-made lunch for my family. (stuffed mushrooms) Got ready for the day. I just need to do my hair and then we're off out to the in-law's.

Yesterday I went into Bristol to meet a friend for brunch. We then went to the Wildlife Photography 2024 gallery. Then went to the Christmas market for mulled wine and bratwurst.

I got a bit chilly so decided to buy a new jumper.

…I actually just bought a blanket/throw in those colours…are you wearing my blanket…?…

I wish I could join you in such lovely winter shopping . I miss that about living on the NE coast. We can't really justify it with the weather here most years. It's 21C outside (10:30p), but humidity is very high, so it feels pretty warm actually. I still run the AC We have maybe 24 hours of freezing temps per year, if that. But I used to love wearing leggings and all my fuzzy wear and layering up with knits, scarfs, etc. I feel like I was more in my element fashion-wise, but yeah, I also like being really warm that much so...

I like Ben's jumper

Boo to any green clothing

I’m so hot I’m currently nude on a beach in Gran Canaria

[Niamh.]

Not much, had a lie in, made some scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, mushrooms and fried tomatoes for breakfast

Up at 4, sat on the couch in tense contemplation, nap at 7:30, up again at 9, got ready for the day, tidied the sitting room, packed a bag to spend the day at the in-law's, had lunch there - a burger and sweet potato chips, had a lovely espresso, now I'm relaxing while the grandparents occupy the baby.

Ami he's been crawling and pulling to stand since he was five months old, he's starting to stand unassisted now and is fast as lightning getting around and up and down, cruising holding onto furniture. I'm exhausted. I actually don't mind waking with him at night, he usually goes back to sleep but I want to be in bed for 6 or 7 hours at least, even if I'm not sleeping.

Went to the cenotaph as usual, met my late husbands friends for breakfast, lovely to see them all. We used to meet for lunch but I think they're better just being together after the ceremony, have some drinks, a lot probably, swing the lap and pull up a sandbag, kind of thing. Moving and poignant as always.

Been to local cenotaph as my boy was in the parade. Proud mama moment today. His detachment did great.

It was an online training for a side hustle.
Cost of living is kicking my butt. It was straight forward. Only had to move when I needed to click the mouse
