{reading} M is for autism. Even reviewed it, all in one day. Well worth a read. There’ll be a link to the review down there somewhere if you want to check it out

{watching} Hector and the search for happiness on Netflix. Surprisingly good, particularly enjoyed how the sketching ran through the film as well. Bit like the idea of a holiday sketchbook, as in Jenny Maizels’ sketchbook club. 

{eating} leftovers and baked potatoes. Which means I think I’ve gone wrong somewhere in the week’s mealplans as I don’t know what we’re supposed to be eating tomorrow. Hm.

{achieving} dress fitting for Big. Rather lovely woman up the road who was on her third dress fitting of the day. She mustn’t ever stop, she’d already done two fittings before she got to us. 

{searching for} my sketchbook. Which along with my kindle and tin of pencils, has gone missing. I had it in the bedroom the other day when I was trying to have some quiet time but got found by children. Haven’t seen it since, which is causing a not inconsiderable amount of stress. 

{thinking} that I ought to be sewing. Hmm.

{wondering} what it is in the air that feels like autumn. Because it does, suddenly.

Snapshots

Big is all packed and ready to go on her 10 day camp.  It will be the longest she’s been away from us, and the furthest. Small did his first fencing session and really enjoyed it. Smallest has been doing some more gardening with Tim, lovely to see them working together. Tigerboy blended sounds to read a word today, which is the first time I’ve heard him do that.
