3BT 9/1/13 Chores, Catching up and Planning

• I've done all the cooking today, so I don't have to do any washing up. Hooray!!
• Nick and I have been being very busy today, he's been working in his studio in the garden and I've been upstairs in my art studio, but we've been checking up on each other throughout the day over the phone.
• Over lunch we start making plans for the house. Some are more practical than others, but we decide that it's worth putting lots of effort in, because we're going to be here for a while.

3BT 8/1/13 Colours, Excited and Organised

• Amy gave me some colour change nail varnish for Christmas and I've been mesmerised by it all day, watching my nails change from dark purple to bright pink as my hands heat up and cool down.
• Watching Nick open his new camera is like watching a small child at Christmas.
• I've written a list of all the things I want to achieve with my art this year, and now it's written down, it doesn't seem completely unmanageable.

3BT 7/1/13 Theories, Fed and Book time

• We have just started watching season 4 of Lost, and we're enjoying trying to work out what on earth is going on!!
• I rang home when I left work, and when I got here, dinner was ready.
• I managed to squeeze in a few minutes with my book this evening.

3BT 6/1/13 More room, Soak and Birds

• It was sort of sad putting all the Christmas decorations today, but it has made the living room look so much bigger.
• Having a long soak in the bath with some sparkly lush bath goo after our very muddy bike ride.
• We've been in our new house for just over 3 months now, but I still find it strange that we regularly hear seagulls outside, I quite like it.

3BT 5/1/13 Bike, Beast book and Blogs

• I survived my first outing on my new bicycle (on the day my mum rang to tell me she'd fallen off hers and broken her collar bone, so I wasn't feeling too confident!!)
• Swapping a book I ended up with two copies of for Christmas, for 'the book of barely imagined beings' I spotted it a while ago, so I was pleased to have an excuse to get it.
• Updating our blogs/diaries together, with hot chocolate before bed.

3BT 4/1/13 Pirates, Welcome back and Pudding

• A book I ordered off amazon arrived today, it's a Dorling Kindersley eyewitness guide to pirates. I always liked these books, they have enough information to be interesting, but not long and boring and plenty of pictures. It looks like it'll be really useful for my mini pirates.
• It was my first day back at work after Christmas today, it's always nice going back after a break because Shaun is always so pleased to see me, he is on his best behaviour.
• Digging out the last few chocolate buttons from the sweetie bowl to feed to Nick, who is suffering from over-gymed legs.

3BT 3/1/13 Humpty Dumpty, Perfect fit and Check.

•Today we got a kohlrabi in our veggie box, I thought it looked like a chubby little alien, with long wispy hair. While I was looking up what to do with it I found a quote from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall saying it was "like Humpty Dumpty hiding in a hedge" I can sort of see what he means.
•We did another training walk for our trekking holiday, and I got to try out my new rucksack properly. It is perfect, It barely felt like it had anything in it.
•I finally thought I'd got the hang of chess, I was getting check after check after check... then I lost spectacularly.
