Day 8: Starry Night
A day of travel to London for a few days. Lots of last minutes checking of bags, sorting of emails, meetings…and that’s all before getting on multiple trains.
For now…a moment of peace.

It’s Advent! And once again the Bird and Blend Advent Calendar is back!
Which also means strap in for 24 days of Tim posting a selfie (maybe) with a different mug for each tea!

When I got around the supermarket, I like to play the game of “A Decision was Made!”
Rules: See an item clearly exchanged for another and left in its place, and come up with the reason why.

Back at work tomorrow. So of course my ADHD brain decided it would be right to reorganise my desk…for a single week it will be this neat and organised.

Sorting out the Assassins Creed MtG collection. Still managing to store it all in the bundle box.
But…feel I need to make a spreadsheet for them all…
(And yes, I know the comments about the AC Set. I like it personally.)

Back from camping, had a wonder around town with the child.
Then opened an Assassins Creed Booster.
Safe to say, I’m happy with that pull!
