Everything's been very strange this week. Things I was resigned to have been shown to be wrong, old things have been stirred up, and truths have come out that should have done a long time ago. All this is making me feel quite up in the air, but I'm hopeful too. Hopeful that this marks a turning point and that I will have learnt from what's happened and that I'm thinking and doing the right things.
I want to keep my resolve and let things sort themselves out while I concentrate on looking after myself and doing the best I can with work and responsibilities.
This is all very abstract but it's meant more as a record of my state of mind than an account of anything.

Octvember

Oh dear, it looks like it's been just over a month since I last posted anything on here. It's been a good monthish though, I've been doing loads of things and seeing lots of lovely people and generally having fun, and even got a decent amount of work done in between!

New shoes, warm tights, crunchy leaves and bright autumn sunshine.
An epic girly baking session - fairy cakes, gingerbread and brownies, plus an incredible amount of decorations.
Apple pressing back in Somerset, a thoroughly rustic day with my family.
Visiting Westonbirt Arboretum with Photosoc
Jumping about like specials :D
More autumniness everywhere

5th November at a lovely party with sparklers
Two jar finds! Nos 292 and 306 - http://www.365jars.com
This one looks so pretty and sparkly in the sunlight.
Glitter! Found after a super-early breakfast rendezvous with Laura.
Pumpkin carving - a little late but appropriate for the time of year perhaps? It throws star shapes on the walls :)

Amongst all this there have been pub quizzes and pub-goings, committee meetings and socials, LAN parties and beer festivals, Flickrmeets and family visits, and a lot of coffees and breakfasts with friends. Life is full of nice right now, I just need to make sure I get some work done in between!
My blanket for a friend is almost finished and will be sent off soon but my Sorbetto hasn't advanced beyond pattern cutting, possibly because it requires more commitment and brain power! I've joined Postcrossing,  I love postcards so this is pretty awesome, I just need a better way of displaying them all now :)
