October glimpses

Summer has said its final goodbyes and left us with wonderful orange leaves and the less wonderful clocks going back. A little snapshot of my October...

J continues enjoying the mirror. He especially enjoys the mirror baby laughing.

Can it be? Not only has a gerberra plant not died on my watch, but is positively flourishing!

Spice cupboard re-organised and purged; spice jars emptied and cleaned.

In Fishguard, disappointed with the general lack of, well anything to do, we found a funky cafe. The menu suggested Choctails, hello! The only flavours left were liquorice, pineapple or violet. I don't like liquorice, but why I suggested violet over pineapple I struggle to recall. It's probably blocked out by how very disgusting the violet choctail was! Yuk! So, back home, I decided to make some of my own...

And then, I 'made' some chocolate-covered strawberries. Not covered so well as the last batch, but still delish!

My loveliness has learnt to clap! It was such an unexpected joy! It's really hard to capture though...

I also made some almond milk - check me out!

I left the clock in J's room on BST, or J time, to help me remember what his body is telling him in the midst of the trauma of what my watch is telling me!
