First off Emily’s had braces fitted, they look pretty cool and it seems that the main downside was that she couldn’t eat half the sweets she acquired trick or treating. Both the girls went trick or treating – Emily for the first year went out just with her pals, and Niomi was chummed round with some friends and the Cat in the Hat. And then in between sugar rushes and sugar crashes there’s been a Halloween disco and I went to see Nick Cave with my friend Colin.
There’s also been some autumnal stomping around whilst Mummy swanned off to Stobo; and Emzo turned 12 with a karaoke room party, an escape room and (my highlight) was a meal in Wagamama's. The garden’s been put to bed for winter and the final harvest’s have been made – although there’s still carrots, potatoes and parsnips in the ground and some sprouts ready to go; and with a bit of luck we’ll all be treated to them at Christmas. Wow - I'm exhausted writing all that but its all been good, and very much helped me get back on track after the hours changed and the dark nights appeared.
And then for a final treat I'm off to Lisbon on Thursday with friends John, Colin and Andrew. Can't wait - sunshine and vinho verde here I come😁
Respect to Emily for doing what was never on offer in our day. Adam insisted in having braces which involved us in many long journeys to the orthodontist, but now he has wonderful teeth, stick with it!! xx
