There are so many good books coming out at this time of year. I want to read them all now! But I will show some self-restraint and leave a few as potential Christmas presents.

I am feeling a bit better this morning, thankfully. We are going out for lunch later on so I will get myself an Irn Bru then, purely for medicinal purposes of course.

I appear to be coming down with something. I have an awful cough. I really hope it's not covid given that I just had my jab last weekend. Also it's very inconvenient timing, I have so much to do next week!

Here's a picture of lovely Rosie, to counteract all my earlier negativity. A few hours cuddled up with her makes life more bearable.

I went to bed grumpy and woke up still in a bad mood. But I was out with my parents and had a good chat about things and I think I'm feeling a bit better now.

Rosie is so upset with the fireworks. It's heartbreaking seeing her like this. I am usually quite a calm person, but I honestly want to go and fight every single selfish idiot doing this to her.

Our dishwasher stopped working last week, we've got a repair person coming to looking at it this afternoon. Please keep your fingers crossed that it can be fixed soon, because washing the dishes by hand is miserable, but I also don't want to have to buy a whole new dishwasher.

Today we're getting a charger installed for the new car. I'm really pleased with the car, it's so nice to drive, and I definitely think it was the right time to switch to electric.

A neighbour is blasting horribly loud music and it's really annoying me. I'm so worried about fireworks later on too. Rosie gets so distressed by them and I hate seeing her like that. The noise bothers me too. So I'm an overloaded wreck right now.

I massively overestimated how cold it would be, I needed to take my scarf off halfway round the supermarket.

It's still only October but I've already bought five advent calendars to be split between two people and one dog.

I'm going to collect my new car today. I hope the rain stops before then, I'll need to get them to show me how the wipers work! I am feeling a bit sad about saying goodbye to the old car, it's been a good one for years, just time to move on now.

This is the only day in the next fortnight where I don't need to leave the house for anything. I am spending it ensconced on the sofa with a nest of blankets.

Sofa time with Rosie, I love her wee grin here.

So many people on my timeline are getting their flu jabs today. At least four I've seen. Love it!

The car we looked at was very nice, so we are buying it! We can pick it up next week. I am very much looking forward to having a bigger, more comfortable car. And you were all right about the electric automatic being easier to drive, so that's an advantage too.

We're test driving an electric car tomorrow. I'm a bit excited but also a bit terrified. I've never driven an automatic before.

I slept all the way through the night for the first time in absolutely ages! I'm still exhausted of course, but oh well.

We were supposed to get our private covid vaccinations tomorrow but Boots cancelled our appointments as they've run out! Very annoying, but I suppose good that there is demand for it. Hopefully they will get it back in stock and we can reschedule soon.

My husband is turning 40 next month and I've made him a birthday countdown, one present a day for the 40 days leading up to his birthday. They are all different chocolates that he likes, no duplicates. The wrapping up was a nightmare! But I'm rather pleased with the result.

I'm going out somewhere tomorrow. I can get a bus that gets me there but only 2 mins early, or an earlier one that gets me there 32 mins early. Ugh.
