You think you haven't done anything very much just lately...

....And then you empty camera, and realise that maybe, just maybe, we have done all sorts of little bits and pieces.

Thats mainly why I keep a blog, as a visual diary of all the irrelevant bits and pieces and trivial events that make up every day life.

I scrap booked all the little bits of paper and souvenir that gather up on the desk, nice to look at and remember, but of no use whatsoever really.  I've thousands of photos kicking around and one day you girls will have to have a great big bonfire.  There's no point in keeping them and I keep tossing the odd handful into the recycle box from time to time.

         I spent a pleasant few hours wrapping boxes biscuits as wedding favours for the neighbours.
Good job I like wrapping presents.

    I met Selina in town and spent my birthday money on a new coat.  I haven't worn it yet, but I'm ready for a bit of cold.

      We went and ate cinnamon sugared Churros...

               ....at

             My favourite, even better than Jam doughnuts.    I made jam - raspberry- again, my favourite- and why would I make anything else?

     I went to the wedding reception with Darsh, and they barely used any of the biscuits, so now they are all stored in the camper van while they decide what to do with them.  I have to dash out and open the camper van windows every time the sun comes out, so the chocolate doesn't melt.

    We made a trip to London to drop off the wedding presents and wedding dress at Sara and John's flat, stayed overnight and then headed back- no photos.

    And Sal and Dave came to stay for a few days, again no photos, well there are, but nothing suitable for here-Dave has had a fight with a lathe and chopped the end off his finger!

Started my Christmas shopping, had a manicure, dog had a haircut, Darsh to dentist and opticians, enjoyed roast lunch in Brownhills , and also lunch in Pelsall, had a "thali" in Handsworth,

    ....sat in the sun...

                ....walked in a deserted park......

                                   ....walked along several canal banks.....

     ..... but we were determined to make the most of this lovely Autumn weather.

It's amazing what you find when you empty out the old photos on your camera!
