365 Days of Happy – Month 11

It’s hard to believe that I’ve now completed 11 whole months of my Instagram challenge, because it means that my twenties are rapidly drawing to a close. It’s less than a month til I hit the big Three-Zero, but I’m trying not to panic too much about the fact that I’ve not yet got round to completing everything on my 30 Before 30 list. It’s been yet another busy month with work, which hasn’t left a great deal of time for anything other than stressing about our imminent house move, which is still slightly up in the air (much to our frustration). Anyway, here are my photos from Month 11.

Day 308

The first day back at work after over two weeks off, and thankfully it was a productive one.

Day 312

I’m growing my collection of Observer books, and was delighted to find this bookplate in the front of one of my newest additions to the collection. An interesting postscript to this story is that I looked up the name on Facebook and found the man whose book it was! He said that he won another book the following year, which he still had, but that his mum must have given this one to a charity shop when he left home in 1971. I wonder how many times it’s changed hands since then?

Day 313

I’m really loving these gorgeous, soft, snuggly slippers that Lee gave me for Christmas from Joules. They make getting out of bed in the mornings a pleasure!

I cycled right the way round the airfield – my first time on a bike since San Francisco! Turns out that I’m rather out of shape.

Day 336

Brooding skies at the airfield, so we headed home early for a change.

IMG_9592

Day 337

I cheated slightly with this one, as I was working all day and the weather was horrid outside, so I did a throwback to sitting in the sun in the Circus Maximus two weeks previously.

IMG_9320

Day 338

Sunshine and showers meant a beautiful rainbow at the airfield, though I only caught its tail end!
