NaBloPoMo 7

Spent the evening last night making our 2023 photo book. Need to get on the 2024 one before I'm behind again. Definitely learning that I need to strike when the iron is hot and I feel like doing something. 

Today, alone to say 6 am and went on and early morning walk and coffee run with my friend Alex. We do every now and again to hang out and get some exercise. Even though I'm not a morning person I do like being out when half the weekend is asleep and seeing the sun rise. Also a good way to fit in exercise and seeing a friend around all my other commitments. Would never have thought of it if she'd not suggested it. 

Home to the chaos of getting everyone ready for school. I sorted Phoebe, who has been very grumpy all day, Tom helped Lydia. Made it to school with time to spare all round which was a blessing. 

Walked home via the bakery where I picked up bread and bought them out of finger rolls up feed our household of guests this weekend. Also bought a cake for everyone at I fancied a Belgian bun for breakfast and Phoebe had been asking for a bun with a cherry on the top. Turns out neither kid likes Belgian buns, so won't be buying them one again! 

Once home, ran a web CMS training webinar, and spent the rest of the day catching up on emails, checking budgets and sending out a Christmas short lead press release for Kent and East Sussex. Top tip, if you have any National World titles in your local press, you can upload your story about your event or whatever, and 9/10 times they publish it on their website as is, and sometimes the stories make it into the print editions too. Tom tidied the spare room to make room for guests around me when he'd finished up for the day.

Stopped work at 4:45 to make dinner, kids home from shopping with Tom after school about 530. Made salmon with garlic butter prawns dish from Hello Fresh for dinner. I usually like these meal kits but this one was a bit faffy and hard to follow. Phoebe very grumpy so took her up bed really early, just lying in bed next to her now, waiting for her to drop off.
