So what else has been happening????
Our bedroom is finished apart from buying a new bed. Just discovering the delights of an ottoman bed - what a clever idea - everything hidden away under the mattress instead of shoved in boxes under the bedstead.


Looked as if I'd been sunbathing under a sieve by the time I'd finished wielding the roller, sporting freckles in a rather fetching 'celestial cloud' - (that's speak for a very pale greyish blue).
Hubby has painted the landing ceiling and we're weighing up whether we have time to decorate the stairs, landing and lounge by Christmas (there I've said it - the 'C' word)

this is the problem with open plan, you have to do it all in one go.
Arsenal went top in Premiership which lasted less than twenty four hours, but we're hot on the heels of Man City, separated by goal difference.
We managed to silence the critics by beating Bayern Munich 2-0, fingers crossed for Wednesday night's return match.
A pod of dolphins appeared off the coast here and swam along with a boat out on a Sunday afternoon sail.
Our step grandson came home for a weekend visit from uni to find he and his friends had made the local paper after one of the action videos they made had gone viral with over five and a half million views on YouTube.
Talking films, we're looking forward to going to see The Lady In The Van with the wonderful Maggie Smith. Not sure about reclining seats though, while they sound great I'm not sure I could suffer the embarrassment when my o/h is asked to leave because his snoring is disturbing the auditorium.

Feeling sad as it's the last Doc Martin tonight and last Downtown Abbey next week (apart from the Christmas special), I'm just hoping for a happy ending.
Autumnwatch starts tonight, yay.
