It's Sunday/Monday: Check-In Time

Linking up with Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer and It's Monday! What are You Reading? now hosted by Kathryn @Book Date. 

On the home front: 

Up and down this week, literally. Another fall, this time at the neurologist's (how embarrassing) and another twisted ankle to slow down my walking. Anyway it fast-tracked a treatment option so maybe the embarrassment was worth it lol.

I did catch up with my girlfriend of 25+ years, her gorgeous daughter is also my hairdresser so my hair is cut, coloured and ready for Christmas. 

Mia had her usual sleepover, she's an energiser bunny at the moment and such a hoot ... fun, laughs and exhaustion for all :)

I haven't put the Christmas tree up, made Christmas cards or done any Christmas shopping ... eek. Please tell me someone is as disorganised as me? I swear every year I'm not going to leave things til the last minute and yet here I am ... again!

Isn't this tree stunning, I think it's a flame tree but I'm no expert. Such a contrast against the all the lush green and blue of the sky I had to stop and take a photo.
