I arrived home 1:30 am Thursday morning last week, after almost a month away in France and Spain. My email had almost 1000 unread emails, our finance manager went on holiday just before I returned, so I’ve taken over some of her work as well as having my own to catch up on, I wanted to get stuck back into my back to running program and the gym and my garden looked like this:
I decided to extend my bloggy break until today, the start of NaBloPoMo, so I could spend the time over the past week wrangling my life into some kind of order. I got to inbox zero, hit read all on Feedly, cleared most of my work backlog, pulled out all the parsley and winter veggies (apart from the broad beans), replanted with summer veggies, got back to PT, the gym, completed three walk/run sessions and wrote of few posts for NaBloPoMo.
Enough of that—the holiday was amazing. Our primary focus was the Camino de Santiago, but I spent a week in Paris while G worked in Italy and the UK. I loved pottering around Paris by myself, and then the Camino was fascinating, challenging and quite social. I plan to do some recap posts over the month of November, but here’s a little teaser …
I’m not a huge fan of Halloween—it’s only recently been imported into Australia. Still, for my readers who are fans of Halloween, I just had to share these photos of a totally over-the-top house around the corner from us.
Riley is a bit of a scaredy cat and was a bit put out by the black cats.
Some other good things:
- My broad beans are ready for picking.
- We’ve had multiple opportunities to catch up with the kids since we arrived home. E has been home quite a few nights so that has been good.
- I had some stunning weather for my first walk/run
- Melbourne changed to daylight savings while we were overseas, which has meant we’ve done a few after-dinner walks since we got home.
- The weather is warming up, and I’ve been able to line-dry our washing outside.
How’s your week been? Are you doing NaBloPoMo this year?
