Saturday Selections 18.09.15

Watching: Fear the Walking Dead - only watched one episode so far, it's good...but frustrating. I feel like it's happening in current times yet no one seems to know what a zombie is...EVERYONE knows what a zombie is!!!

Listening: Podcasts, a whole buncha different ones, but Grace Helbig is always a good idea!
  
Reading: Emails - clearing out my personal inbox has proved to be a total nightmare. Who needs an email from the GAP from 2012? Apparently I do.

Wishing: For a new phone, mine is donezo. Thought by taking all my pics off it would sort itself out, turns out it hates everything still! Do I get an iPhone? I dunno. I need something that works though.

Loving: My hubs! together for SEVEN YEARS. Which feels like basically forever.

Doing: Going to the Rugby today in Cardiff - GO CANADA!!!

Making: Labels and space we bought clear boxes and we have a mission to start getting the loft organised.

Eating: As many meals together as a fam as much as possible...it's not easy and not as relaxing as having adult dinners - but I valued this time with my family as a child and as I'm home earlier now we have the opportunity to do this which is really lucky!

Bad luck perhaps, but he was SO excited, we couldn't not!

Have a lovely weekend!

Saturday Selections 12.09.15

Watching: The Americans - LOVE this show so much. Keri Russell is absolutely perfect in this role.

Listening: Finally have a radio on at work...I love having a soundtrack to the day!
  
Reading: Recipes, we've got about a bajillion apples to do something with.
So reading up on all the options beyond pie, crumble and sauce!

Wishing: For some new black ankle boot things..I need to do some research and a proper wishlist for these.

Loving: My car - but I wish I was a more confident driver here! I can do my commute without totally freaking out now (four days in a row!)

Doing: Learning how to drive on the wrong side of the road - I didn't properly realise how much it would mess with me! And roundabouts! WTF?!?!

Making: My Mom is sending me a recipe for apple butter - going to try to do that on Sunday!

Eating: Roast dinners - had our first one last Sunday and loads of leftovers all week. So there it is prematurely or not, roast season has started!

Visits from family and other non internetty times

My sister was here for just over two weeks (which is just under a million weeks too short if you ask me). And means I've not done any blogging for quite some time. Basically I was having too much fun, and pouring myself in to bed each night totally utterly exhausted in the best possible way.

I LOVE having her here, and I wish more than anything that she still lived in the UK (why oh why can't commonwealth citizens move freely between countries!?!?)

Although the last few visits we've had from her have been a lot about her spending time with the tiny human - there has also been a lot of sistor time. Shopping, eating, drinking and chatting...just so much chatting. The time I get to spend with her is SO valuable and happens so rarely - it's amazing how quickly it goes every single time.

Park life

We went to a few of our fav' places to eat...drank a LOT of bubbles and gin and did ALL THE SHOPPING.

train trips to London

She's gone back to Canada now to do her last year at Uni (smarty pants!) and we all miss her so much. Tiny Human has been asking after her everyday, and was really confused when he saw her on Skype with my Mom just days after she was in our living room.

Shopping anxiety attack....too many cute things....

Thankfully we're seeing her at Christmas so not long to wait (but if you ask me she should just move in already).
