A Year in Pictures: Week 40

Saturday 1 October


We're experiencing an Indian Summer at the moment (although it's not projected to last more than a few more days), and the temperature today was 28 degrees (82F for you Yanks), which is at least 10 degrees warmer than the average for this time of year. Daisy made the most of it by playing outside in the only clothes she needed. Here she is squishing Jon's face.


Sunday 2 October


We went up to Manchester this afternoon for a couple of days - Jon's work has sent him to the Conservative Party Conference so Daisy and I came along too. Daisy's really into her animals now, and she loves reading this book that Nanna and Grandpa bought her.


Monday 3 October


Jon was busy with work all day, so Daisy and I visited our friends in Manchester - Nikki, Evie, Oliver, Clare and Matilda in the morning, and Catherine and James in the afternoon. Here are James and Daisy taking a break from checking each other out to look at the camera.


Tuesday 4 October


We set off from Manchester later than planned and I hadn't brought any lunch for Daisy, so when we had to make a stop for a 'comfort break' (apparently that's what they call a loo break these days) she stocked up on breadsticks until we got home.



Wednesday 5 October


Lately Daisy has been spending a lot of time lying on the floor. I don't think it's tiredness, because she doesn't show any other signs of being tired, but every so often she just stops what she's doing and has a little rest for a few seconds...


Thursday 6 October


Pasta bolognese for tea today :).


Friday 7 October


I was making Daisy's lunch today and I heard the bars of the stair gate (which is between the lounge and dining room) rattling. I thought she must be standing up and holding on to them, as they make the same noise when she does that, but when I went to look she was having another rest. While keeping an eye on the TV, of course :).
