Bits and Bobs
I intended to take a break after NaBloPoMo, but not a whole week, so this is a bit of a catch up post. First up, some photos from Pop and Pour: To clarify regarding the wedding crashing—we did not eat or drink anything, just hit the dance floor which we had to walk right past…

Five Things Friday
2. Today was my first run since last Friday due to the cold. It was a little tester (5K) and I’m pretty sure I’m recovered. G took Riley for a walk and I met him at the park, then we picked up hot drinks on our way home. 3. The girls both have the day…
