It's October ... September has gone ... and WOW what a month.
It started off with us having no water for almost two weeks, then we had a weekend in bonny Scotland and went to one of the nicest weddings we've ever been to, when our niece Erin married the love of her life, Darren in the greatest of style.
Yes, my lovely hubby scrubs up very well :-)
I was stocked up with lots bargain vegetable seeds for next year and somewhat of a change for me ... lots of flower seeds too.
I did an Approved Foods order, something I've not done for ages ...
... and saved myself a shed load of money
We managed to get a couple of rolls of the sort of wallpaper we've been looking for for ages in the bargain bin in B&Q, ready for decorating the living room later this month.
We dressed a sheep!!
She's now doing much better, she's still with us and healing nicely .... although once again she's naked apart from her own now growing woolly jumper ;-)
I filled the freezer with meat of every description for my carnivore of a man.
Got back into menu planning.
Processed homegrown vegetables ...
... in bulk!!
Bought a new book.
It's strange that this should stand out but I really have stopped buying books like I used to .... who would have thunk it, haha :-)
We put some of the raised beds to sleep for Winter.
And weeded those that we are still eating from.
Before ...
... and after.
And now to round off the month nicely I have pulled something in my back so am having to take it easy ... really easy. Not something I find easy in any way. Although chasing one of the Lavender Pekins off the main road first thing this morning is doing nothing for it's recovery!!
So I'm going into October with a whimper and a whine ... and luckily a still live chicken thanks to a nice man who passes daily and recognised it as one of ours and knocked on the door to let me know.
I'll probably be back tomorrow with another post, as the office chair is currently the most comfortable chair in the house :-)
