turpsFor the first time for a while, I have no plans today apart from going to weight management class later this morning. I intend to have a potter around the house, get ready leisurely, and then stroll to class later. Then, once back from that, continue to catch up online.
Last week was multiple Bodhisitting days, and the day I had free from that I went to see my aunt with Kayleigh and Bodes. James went back to work on a phased return, which you'd think would give me more spare time, but actually didn't at all. Then Friday my MiL came to stay until yesterday, while Saturday we did a craft fair.
The craft fair was in aid of Consett Cats, the rescue where we got Murphy and Kevin, and went very well. It was held in our vets, so there weren't that many stalls and space was limited, but James managed to sell a lot of stock and get some commissions. I won a pretty cat mug on the tombola, and a prize in the raffle. Plus, cat cuddling sessions were upstairs, and I got to see six lovely kittens, and as a bonus, none of them are coming home with me *g*
Yesterday, my MiL said she'd take us out for Sunday lunch, so we went to Prego on the sea front, and their food was delicious. We've eaten there before, but not for the Sunday lunch service, but Kayleigh raves about it, and now I see why. The only tiny issue was there were a lot of very new waiting staff who served the main course literally seconds after the starters were finished and left the dirty dishes on the table. But then the main training waiter made me laugh when he saw that, did a very elaborate grrrr complete with shaking fists in the air, and quickly cleared everything away.
Then we all went grocery shopping and for a coffee before taking my MiL home, and we came back to flump on the couch and watch TV for a while. I still need to put furniture back, as I always move some so my MiL can move around the house easier. But that can wait for now.
Lucy starts her new job tomorrow, which will eventually lead to less Bodhi sitting, but this week while she's training means three days when I'm needed. Only for a few hours in the afternoon for two of those days, but it'll be good when she has her actual schedule and everyone knows where they have to be, as everything is a bit in the air atm.
It's now September which means birthdays and a lot of autumn tv starting. I'm already a few weeks into watching Australian Masterchef, which remains a favourite, and will keep me watching for ages yet, and adverts are happening for new Strictly and Bake Off.
The first birthday of the month was fannish nieces yesterday, and she again contacted no one, and my heart ached for my MiL when I listened to her send yet another voice mail to FN's phone which won't be returned. I'll never know why she's completely ghosted her family, I'm just glad she pops up online on occasions, so we at least know she's okay.
Then today, it's mam's birthday and also Murphy's. So, happy birthday to mam, love her, miss her ♥. And also my big lump of a cat, Murph, who needs a gold star for
