Well the last few weeks have flown by. My new "little" job, has turned into something a lot less little than expected. Almost every day spent on my feet has been tiring to say the least, especially to someone who spent several years working in the comfort of my own home. However, the little job is exactly what the doctor ordered. I'm waking up early (but happy) and going to bed achy (but without dread of the following day). Hopefully I will eventually stop folding clothes in my dreams - but hey - that's just evidence that I'm just a natural hard worker.
Here's some other things - aside from clothes folding - that I have achieved since my last post.
- Christmas presents are (almost) all bought and ready to be wrapped. I just love the wrapping stage the most, every year I try to make my presents delicious to look at under the tree. I almost want my recipient to be happy with the paper and bows alone. Just one difficult person left to buy for - what do you buy for the pilot who has everything? Time to get my best thinking hat on.

- Redecorated the living room. A good source tells me that Laura Ashley wallpaper is just too girly for a cohabiting couple. Choosing a colour was one hundred times more difficult than when I used to make these decisions single-handedly. After a dozen different tester pots were tried out, which aptly named options ranging from Malt Chocolate (my choice) to Dragons blood (the pilot's choice) the feature wall is now a rich plummy colour - aka Deepest Damson. I love the different colours it looks in the light and shadow of the spot lights. Unfortunately the new Ikea mirror has a fun-house effect when looked into from the other side of the room. So I am now living in a fun-house-bachelor-pad-esque apartment, but 'tis a small sacrifice to keep my man happy.
- Indulged in a tiny bit of retail therapy, buying Doodle Stitching. Can't decide where to start, but I was very excited when it arrived in the post, I just love every idea in this book. Knowing me, I will probably add it to my book pile for a rainy day.
So now I am suffering with the mother of all colds, I think I will reflect on my "done-list" with satisfaction and indulge in a few days of R&R. In fact, I think I hear the kettle boiling right now...
