The past few weeks have been such busy ones and it feels as though I haven't blogged in forever. Let's have a little catch up, shall we? How *are* you all? Me? I have been a sorry sorry blogger of late. My life scales are not tipped in favour of this little space at the moment and for that I apologise! For so long I've had plenty of free time to write and create, but recently I'm finding the life-work-fun-blog balance to be a tricky one! This week I'm making it my mission to turn my MacBook on and start sharing again. So, here we go...
:: We've just returned from a long weekend in Manchester (more on this trip in another post), where we shopped, ate our body weight in pancakes, drank a LOT of mulled wine and went to see War of the Worlds. As usual, our beloved Manc did not disappoint!
:: My working days are soooooooooooo long. I leave the house at 6.30AM and I don't get home until 7.00PM. All I want to do on evenings like these is get into my pj's, eat dinner and watch trashy TV whilst snuggled up on the sofa. Some nights I'm even in bed by 8.00PM, turning my electric blanket on and trying to pretend I'm not snoozing. Sorry. Not sorry.
:: A lot of evenings we've been hitting the shops to make a dent in the old Christmas shopping list and inevitably, eating out. This week I am thankful for normal, home-cooked suppers and slippers.
:: I have spent many an evening watching YouTube videos about which camera lenses to buy for the new DSLR I'm getting for Christmas. O is spoiling me and getting the NIkon D5300, so if you have any lens recommendations, hit me up!
:: Tonight I came home from work to find that O had bought a Christmas tree! So we spent a few hours getting the decorations down from the attic and painstakingly positioning every one so it's just right. Who am I kidding, we really just put them on wherever we felt like it...
:: I have been having some serious train delay karma. Two days in a row now my trains have been horribly screwed up. Today it took me four hours to get to work. FOUR! Two of which were spent trapped on a stuck train. Pray for punctual trains for me tomorrow, will you?
:: Rosie's post about "giving presence" (watch the LuluLemon video here) really hit home with me last week. I am forever glued to my phone/iPad/laptop and I feel like I miss a lot of special moments. The idea of giving someone your undivided attention and actually living in and appreciating the beauty of the moment we're in really made me think about how Iwaste spend my precious time. This may explain a little of my radio silence over the last few weeks...
Reading all your lovely blog comments has really spurred me on to find my blogging mojo again and I'm now off to catch up on all your hijinks via Bloglovin', in bed with my electric blanket on of course... :)
