Auntie Knows Best

Today is World Car Free Day and I cycled into the office.

It made me really happy to see the huge amount of bicycles that were parked up at the hospital. They really are going to need some more bike racks at this rate.

Driving home after Pilates tonight I took a detour via Cobo Beach. The sunset was so vibrant and beautiful. It was really calm and I wish that I had brought my bathers for a quick swim!

There is a new regime in this house!!

Chore lists for both the children tied in with pocket money. Let’s see if this makes a difference to the help I get around the house as well as their behaviour!

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral today and today is an additional Bank Holiday. We met at Emma’s house and had breakfast before watching the amazing pomp, pageantry and ceremony around the procession and funeral.

I found it incredibly moving and the whole even was so beautifully done. I really enjoyed watching the marching band and soldiers and thought the service was lovely. Such a sad event but her life was one of incredible service and dedication. Her faith was steadfast and sure and now she is meeting her King.

We have plans tomorrow to meet with friends to watch the Queen’s Funeral. Whilst it is a sad occasion, cake remedies much of the sadness.

Out for dinner again and this time with the Mums from Cubs.

Such a beautiful evening with the most heavenly sunset.

Still going strong on Basil the Bike. Hoping I will get in a few more cycling weeks before the weather turns.

Out for dinner on a school night.

This feels very needed today.

This lazy arse has spent all day sat on the window seat watching what is going on outside.

Oh to have the life of a cat!

This evening I went to a Guernsey Literary Festival talk with Kate Rew who was the founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society. I had really high hopes for this evening but I found it a little disappointing. I was hoping for some many more interesting stories and it was just a bit dry 🙁
