Which weekend...?

[byslantedlight]

Was there just a weekend? I have a feeling I completely missed it somehow! I know it was scheduled... Well, I supposed that's not entirely fair, because I've been pottering at sorting out, and I went to see my aunt and uncle and cousin and cousin-in-law for dinner yesterday (I got to play Scrabble for the first time in years - I love Scrabble (well, the whole family does) but I never get to play, so yeay *g*)

Today I had three things that I wanted to achieve: finish a present I'm making for mum; make templates of my furniture to take down to Somerset next weekend; go for a run. I accomplished... the run. Which is good, but I just know that time is going to do that nasty spring-back-elastic thing it does in the next three weeks, and the other two things really needed to be done already. Ack!

I did see a very cool moon on the way home last night though - a giant half moon, just hanging over everyone - and as it set it turned a gorgeous bronze-orange, and slid slowly down until just the top horn was visible, before it disappeared. These pics don't even start to do it justice, but hopefully you can see there was something a bit different about it...
I'm off down to Somerset next weekend to try and work out how to fit my stuff into the new teeny-weeny place (hence the paper templates), but it's also been turned into an extra-happy now, because my long-suffering friend who's putting me up for the night has found not only a Christmas tree lighting-up with singing for us to go to, but also a Christmas market for the Sunday before I go home, so yeay for managing a few Christmas-y things after all, too!

So there has actually been happy weekend stuff... Now if I can just work out what I'm going to do for my own Discovered in a Bleak Midwinter posts, and ProsFandom Cards, on top of all the packing and Christmas and stuff, then I'll feel caught-up!

Hope your weekend's been good...

This past weekend went ridiculously fast for me as well, and while I knocked some things off the list, it wasn't nearly as many things as it should have been. Your trip to Somerset next weekend sounds like fun, hope you enjoy it. I find it always helps me when I have things to look forward to.

I'm looking forward to the weekend - although there's also part of me that feels like I should be here packing up the house! Once this weekend is gone, I have to properly get the boxes out and start getting on with it... and really it'll feel like I don't live here any more from then on... But then there's a new life to look forward to after that too, so it'll all work out!

Isn't it frustrating when your to-do list doesn't get ta-da done...?!

I'm sorry to be so terrible-useless about commenting at the moment, but the moon is fabulous, and the move back to Somerset sounds like it's shaping up really well - go you!

I hope the week is plodding along at a respectable pace, and you're going to have a brilliant weekend down thisaway next weekend. *\o/*

The week is plodding away indeed - and I'm looking forward to heading back down in your direction! I'll be nearer still to your border, too... *g* I hope your world is doing the best it can to hang on and be a world, and that one day soon you'll be able to come back to us and feel like you're here too...

Well not so much of a weekend as such over here, but yours sounds good - or at least it had some good things in it! :-) My happy for today, maybe it was getting confirmation that we seem to be one tiny microscopic fraction of a step further towards sorting out an annoying bit of paperwork that's been dragging on for ages. And I'm tentatively happy about Ireland maybe being able to stop the brexiteers from making a pig's ear of the border issues ... the saga of tory malice and incompetence rumbles on, innit :-\ And it's nearly Dialj Advent Calendar launch time, hooray! *g*

Oh, microscopic bits of fractions of steps further are always happy things - they all add up into steps eventually, right? *g*

And oh, don't get me started... *headdesk*

Despite the probably chaos at my end, I'm rather looking forward to December! *g*
