The house is pretty tidy throughout, and I'm getting the urge to decorate. I need a new dressing table, having broken the drawer in the one I have at the moment. Sadly, the local antique shop, where I expected to be able to get one, has closed down. At the moment, I am still using my old dressing table, with the bottom drawer wedged half-open.
I've started embroidering a cushion cover. Turquoise! It will be ok, because we already have a turquoise footstool.
I bought new flat ankle boots- a black pair, and a self-indulgent dull silver metallic pair. I completely wore out last year's black boots, so I did actually need some, and I got both pairs at a discount, so it's not as extravagant as it sounds.
I have begun my Xmas shopping. I can only carry a small amount of stuff at a time now, so will need many trips. My threat to buy a donkey adoption certificate for anyone who doesn't give me a wish list soon is now on file…
I got my first pension statement today- annoyed to find I will be paying £70 a month in tax. Sigh.
I did nothing in September that could be called "cultural". I did finish reading the first MathsBookClub book, which we will be discussing during October; and I did eat out several times. I am getting braver about eating out alone; and this month I went to Cafe Rouge and Jamie's Italian, as well as Wimpy and the Giggling Sausage. The monthly food pic shows that I did eat quite a range of foods this month. Last night's meal was chicken risotto, which I forgot to photograph.
