Where's the week gone?

How come its Sunday already?
I have no idea where time is going.
All I know is there just isn't enough of it in my week.

Work this week meant I got to go on a train ride, decided to take a train rather than drive, boss agreed as was cheaper than paying my mileage !


Lovely train ride down, great views and a good book, why I never thought to do this before I don't know!
Next time I have to leave the city to work it will be a train if possible!

I also happen to love old train stations



Work is still testing, still unsure if I need to find something else, hanging in there and trying to focus on the positives and be thankful, hard sometimes though. It's a thankless job I do.

This weekend has been spent at home pottering about, hubs is working  :(

I have had another hardcore clear out of my 'stuff',  all the ' I might lose weight and fit into it' clothes are now packed for the charity shop.Seriously, am I ever going to fit into them, and if I do, will they still be in fashion !

  This  left a whole drawer in my wardrobe empty, my pared down fabric and yarn stash has now been moved into there so I have managed to get rid of a whole set of plastic storage drawers from my little girly office.I have cleared the top of my sewing table/ desk so I have more space when working from home, something I am trying to do more of that to reduce stress levels. My next goal is to pare down my shelving unit. Tons of paperbacks waiting to be read and loads more craft stuff to sort. I'm not really crafting anymore, just a bit of knitting here and there. Not sure what I am doing to be honest with you, maybe I am becoming a couch potato!

The poor hound was terrified last night,we managed to get him out yesterday afternoon with my sons little dog walking dog, so he had some exercise, then gave him some Zylkene and hubs stayed in the dining room with him as that was the quietest room firework wise. But they just went on and on and on. Huge displays in back gardens all around us, they were still letting them off in the early hours of the morning. Why they cant make quiet ones I don't know. This morning I couldn't get him to walk anywhere hes still terrified. Poor soul. Going to try the pack walk thing later, hoping we can get him out as hubs has taken the car to work. Will go with no 1 son and walk down to get his dog walking dog and try it that way, not hopeful after this mornings attempt. Shame as its a beautiful day.

A little bit of RnR

Another fab weekend in Cornwall. Over far too quickly.
I won't bore you with all the details, It was a bit of a whirlwind affair, 2 nights, so really just 1 full day. But we managed to fit a fair bit in, it was just what I needed.





























Cruising the Norwegian Fjords.

To celebrate reaching 60 I decided to tick off one of the bucket list holidays. I am very grateful I have a good job which pays well enough ...
