The days and weeks are flying by and we are now in October!  Don’t know where September went to!!! 

It was the annual Goose Fair in Nottingham last weekend, where DH and I had our very first date 39 years ago!!!  We did not go because of my hip and it was pouring with rain on Friday here with another storm which came through.  Someone else commented that ever since we have been naming these storms here in the UK they have gotten worse!!! 

Speaking of things, I saw an Instagram post the other day which said that since 2020 the World has been on the wrong path, you know how some believe that there are parralell  Worlds going in the same direction but things are slightly different?  Well some believe that we are on the wrong path which is why everything just feels slightly off at the moment?  How we get back to the right path if this is the case I don’t know?  It is very much like an Isaac Asimov story!!!!!

Anyway back to Friday we took Coco and Honey for them both to have a spa day.  Coco needed it as she was again very floofy and Honey needed to be de-shedded.  She is a very long legged golden labrador, very soft and typically goofy.  We had them in their crates in DH’s truck so they could see and talk to each other but not running around like lunatics which they do at home!  They were both very good, the only thing Honey did not like was the drying cabinet, perhaps she thought it was an Harry Potter Vanishing cabinet!  Both of them then spent the rest of the day fast asleep.  However DH and I got soaked getting them in and out of the truck. We had a long day getting errands done and managed to fit in a nice breakfast too but by the time we got home it was late, we were both tired and so we did not even go and drive round Goose Fair.  

Saturday was again busy and DH had a swimming competition in the afternoon.  The bed quilt I have been trying to finish I have given up trying to quilt it on my machine.  It is far too big and heavy and I have ended up with skipped stitches so it is going to the shop I use for it to be completed on their long arm quilting machine.  I have decided I can do single bed size quilts on my machine, but nothing bigger.  It is a gift for my best friend. Jayne, her daughter but I am sure she won’t mind it being a little late.

Jayne and I were ladies who lunched on September 23rd at The Farmhouse near us and the food was really good as usual.  I will show you on Friday for Book Club Jayne’s pick for her book last month and my pick for this month.  I have really loved our little Book Club and the books we have read and am so glad we embarked on this journey together. 

I am seeing Jayne for lunch next week, at The Rose & Crown,  just before I go in to Hospital the following week and it is Jayne’s choice so I will be able to take the book in with me.  I have also got about another six books I am going to put in my bag, well you never know I might finish Jayne’s book or need to read something else.  I always want to take too many rather than have not enough!

I am also trying to get my home jobs all done and some other things I want to sort out before I go in on the 21st!  I am up to date with work here and at Eldest’s and I have also managed to get the Membership data all sorted for swimming.  We had a new database and the data was transferred from the old one but of course it did not come across properly and it was one of those jobs that I kept meaning to do and had done some of it but have spent several days getting it all up to date!  The Swimming Club AGM is at the beginning of November so at least I know that all the data is correct for the renewals then and before we have to renew everyone at Swim England!

I am hoping this week to be back and blogging every day, last week just ended up flying by no sooner was it Monday, it was Friday and the week had gone!  I hope you lovely lot had a great weekend and a good week to come. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

Flloofy!
