I've looked up some ideas & bought little bottles to make arrangements in. Also found some twig wreaths in sewing room so going to try a dried flower wreath.

I've got so many tatty cardigans hanging on back of door that the weight ripped the rail off the door!! Worn to death & used as gardening cardis but really need to go in bin. Old leggings too and tatty t shirts!!
And "stuff" that needs dusting!

Morning. Wet & windy out there.
Was going to head into garden but weather has stopped play!
Bedroom sorting & cleaning instead. Too many clothes & too much "stuff".
Dried flower faffing later using flowers I've dried over past few months.
Have a fab day all❤️❤️

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:
Childhood
Education
Aliens
Alpacas
The East Midlands
The old future we lost

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.

It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

How wonderful to have your own book in your hands. Very envious❤️❤️

Hairdresser this morning then possibly clearing out kitchen food cupboards - too much out of date stuff in there🤣

Morning. Damp & mild out there.
Lots done outside yesterday. More of the same today. Can't get much done in afternoons now as dark too early.
Need to finish sorting linen cupboard later.
Have a fab day all❤️❤️

November at the earliest. Best when it's cold to avoid "tulip fire" - a disease. But Nov is warmer than it used to be these days!! As late as possible in Nov!!
