The end of the year is almost here!

Life is tough at the moment.  The art job has not worked out (as predicted really - due to the owner being a fruitcake as I said from the very start - need to listen to myself more!)  I have been substituting at Carden, which is great but knackering.  There is the possibility of a job there next year which is something I need to think really hard about.  And the fridge has just broken.  That is always really crap!

But on the plus side the fall switch has now switched.  Although it's still pretty warm we have had some overcast skies this week and even a few sprinkles this morning.  The leaves have fallen off the trees all of a sudden.  And the big teller that fall is really here, it now warmer outside of the house than it is in it.  The Californians really need to do something about their insulation!  But it's all good as I'm craving some seasons and this feels right.  Now we just need some more rain to get it snowing in the Sierras!

Thanksgiving is a couple of weeks away and Granny and Pops will be here.  We can't wait to have them.  And then it's the countdown to Christmas, Universal and the cruise!  What I am complaining about!

I left my heart in San Francisco

Nov 7th

Our girlie weekend in the city.  Beautiful blue warm SF skies (how lucky were we to get no fog)  Shopping, eating and drinking.  Afternoon naps.  Drinking some more.  Falling over and obtaining a very large bruise.  Watching Beach Blanket Babylon, the funniest American thing I have ever seen.  Visiting an art museum and discussing male anatomy.   We didn't stop laughing.  It was so fantastic, already planning our next trip in May.











Trick or Treat, smell my feet ...

It's that time of year again.  And it was as fab as ever.  I truly love how excited the kids are every year.

This is Sophia's email to Lily.  It says it all really.

Hi Lily!  This Halloween I dress up as Sally from the nightmare before Christmas. What did you dress up as for Halloween? We went trick or treating with my friends Hannah and Natalie! We saw a very cool house. It had lights all over the place. It even had the voice of the person who owned the house! It was the best Halloween ever!  I love starburst. My favorite flavour is lemon. Love Sophia.  xxxx
