    Last year I got chocolate Santa's, selection boxes etc early and put them in the attic. My kids are believers so these things need to be hidden. Unfortunately a little mouse decided to visit our attic and munch his way through the Santa's! I have to find a new hiding spot this year.

    I know! I dropped one of the kids to gymnastics this morning and I'm leaning on the bonnet of the car soaking up the sun. One of the nicest mornings in months, it's like being back in France on holidays 😎

    We just had an "autumn" sized spider in the sitting room. OH managed to flatten it and when he went to get something to clean it up, the dog decided he wanted a snack. Ugh, he better not try to lick me tomorrow 😖🕷

    I'm on the whiskey now and still not right from it

    yep, dark starts have started. I get up at 5.45am and it was pure night, not dusk or a hint of it, felt like the middle of the night it was so dark. Thankfully we still have some brightness in the evenings though, the one part of the build up that I could do without is leaving for work in the dark & it being just as dark leaving the office in the evenings.

    What an absolute beaut of a day yesterday, we had the paddling pools back out for the dogs and the biggest monster of them all the toddler!!

    Last time we had them out was June, speaks volume about how bad the summer was, anyway I'll take this warm spell no problem. Got a lovely long walk in after dinner and everything.

    Was over in Marlay park with the team on Saturday afternoon & the heat was incredible. The lads jerseys were stuck to them after the match it was that hot. Thank god I was only coaching & not playing...

    I just heard an ad on the radio for the Gaiety Panto, I think it's the first time I've heard it this year. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

    Went for a swim last night and this morning. Beautiful sunny days and more people at the beach last night than I've seen there since June, most days in July and August that there was only a handful of stalworths on the beach.

    Spent all day with one of us in the house waiting for an IKEA delivery and it never turned up - so cross now, what a waste of a day 😡. First time ordering from them so I've no idea if this is the norm. The tracking says out for delivery and the chatbot wasn't able to help us so have to wait and make contact with them in the morning.

    Another fab day out. All the talk of the beach here yesterday put the going on me so packed up the swim suits & headed off for a dip after work. It was just lovely, even though I was nearly in Holyhead before I got any depth 😂

    When the weather was lousy we couldn't wait for the season to get here and now that the weather has picked up we are back talking about sitting in the garden and nice walks in the evening.

    We were talking a couple of weeks ago about how a movie and a music channel are due to turn to full time Christmas content this weekend and the shops are starting to display Christmas stock. When this happens and the sun is splitting the stones the Bah Humbugs will be out in force 😄
