Lucia had her first guitar lesson, at 8am on a Monday morning! And it was ‘Talk like a Pirate Day’ at school so she went as a princess, obvs.

I sweated non stop at Lucia’s swimming lesson.

I visited the lovely ladies at phlebotomy.

I made a start on my PhD, on the train to work, during my lunch hour, on train home and after Lucia went to bed.

Took Livia the Dachshund and Finn the Chihuahua to collect Lucia from school. They get loads of attention and they are always so excited when they see her.

We celebrated Livia the dachshund’s first birthday. Any excuse for cake in my house.

Hibernated while enjoying this gorgeous candle. Oh, how I love Autumn.
