Life Last Week (15-21 September 2025)

  

A relatively quiet week.

The weather for the week ahead:::



The temperatures in the morning are lovely, I wish they'd stay that way all day!

On my reading pile:::

 Sttill working on The Last Dress from Paris by Jade Beer from my bookshelves, finished The Resistance Daughter by Joanne Kormylo, and added The Venetian Daughter by Ella Carey onto my Kindle.  It's nice to have it on my phone to have a bit of a read while I'm waiting for an appointment or waiting for Vic to finish up at Lowe's or Home Depot!


On my TV:::

Loving The Hardacres on BritBox, the Great British Baking Show on Netflix, and the Great Canadian Baking Show on Roku.  I'm learning all sorts of things about Canada and Canadian dishes.


More Fall into Love offerings on Hallmark+ - each one we watch makes me long for New England.






And a Christmas one that's been in the DVR since Christmas in July.


We also watched Tower Heist on Netflix, great cast, funny.


We also watched Episode 8 of Blood of my Blood, the prequel to Outlander.  Only one more episode until the finale.


Checked off the list:::
  • Video call with Jodie to chat about all things December Daily and the other scrapbook/memory keeping companies that are bringing out their holiday offerings.
  • Hooked up my photo printer and got busy printing photos for the virtual crop coming up this weekend.
  • Booked Buckingham Palace tickets for our London trip.  Most tours are offered July through September but we're taking a private, guided tour of the East Wing (that's the front façade and the iconic central balcony shown below.  The balcony is just behind the impressive central gates.

Crafts roundup:::

Keeping current on my memory planning.  December Daily 2021 layouts are complete, just need a few embellishments and it will be done!
 
And in other news:::


Week Four moves us into the master bedroom to deep-clean and cut clutter, creating a serene and peaceful refuge for the busy days ahead. Time for a closet clean-out to make ready for the cooler temperatures for many of us.

Our holiday prep tasks center on home-made gifts, and we’ll begin budgeting “to-buy” items week-by-week.

I'll leave the links up here if you're interested.
