Week 6 - February 2020

Monday 3rd

What I need to be doing, is parking myself up here for the day and doing something useful. SO much to catchup on it’s not even funny. What I’ll actually be doing is fannying around the house making plans and accomplishing approximately NOTHING.

The Office, The Patterned Palace.

Tuesday 4th

Yesterday, although the temptation was almost more than I could bear, I managed to resist and did NOT sit on this sofa all day crocheting my almost complete rainbow blanket. No my friends. You would have been VERY proud of me, as instead, I spent the entire day in front of my laptop getting actual stuff DONE! Hallelujah! 🙌🏼

Thursday 6th

Dear Mr Weather,
Please could you be an absolute honey and send some good weather our way today. That means...preferably, no rain & no grey skies, please. Just a break in the showers & some good light would be very much appreciated (the sort that’s going to help me get some lovely new pictures to pop on here!)
Sorry to have to ask but the camera roll’s getting a tad depleted!
Thanks in advance,
Soozi xx
ps. Here’s one I took last week. I’ve never shown a view of the kitchen from this jaunty little angle....same meat, different gravy as they say 😬

Friday 7th

Well....what can I say?! Mr Weather was clearly in a good mood yesterday when I requested a break from the grey, as we were blessed with an absolute corker! A proper winter’s day with glorious sunshine & a frosty morning lawn thrown in for good measure!

Although I requested the ‘good light’ for picture taking purposes, I didn’t actually manage to take a single shot! Instead, I spent the day helping my gorgeous girl @_dansoninthestreet_  sort out and pack all her worldly goods as she prepares to fly the nest (again) to start her new life down in London.
Here’s a picture of her bedroom gallery wall, taken on another sunny day, about 18 months back (probably the last time this room was tidy!)
Although I am going to miss my daughter immeasurable amounts, on the plus side, I may actually be able to get some new pictures of this room....assuming we’re blessed with more ‘good light’ for me to take them that is! 📸

Sunday 9th

Storm Ciara’s well and truly upon us this morning and it’s positively frightful outside! I think I’m just gonna hunker down here for the day.....if I can find a space amongst the ridiculous amount of cushions!! 😳

Stay wrapped up & safe in the weather my friends!
