..............there hasn't been a great deal to blog about. September was on the whole, uneventful and I feel uneasy blogging about my mundane life. Seriously, how interesting can one make a dental check-up and a performance review at work, sound?
But I am aware that I've neglected my blog recently so here are the highlights from the last few weeks.
Prepare to be underwhelmed.
At the start of the month I visited Ardingly Antiques Fair with my Stitch n Bitch friend Juliette.
......she's camera shy, so there are no photos of us!

I wasn't after anything in particular but Juliette had her eyes peeled for a wooden ironing board and after about two hours of fruitless searching we came across several in the space of minutes. There was taxidermy galore and of course the ubiquitous deer heads/skulls on plaques. I didn't find anything that caught my eye or suited my pocket until we were on our way back to the car park when I saw a lady packing up her stock.... among it was this battered old trolley. I shelled out nine quid, cos its perfect for my craft room which, ironically, hasn't seen much action at all this year!
After a thorough clean and labelling of drawers it is now providing some semblance of order to my rubber stamp collection.
Later in September I caught up with another friend Deb, who invited me for drinks on the terrace followed by a lovely lunch... and there started a very interesting conversation indeed.
...and lastly at the beginning of this month it was my brother Stu's 50th birthday and there was a big bash round at his house, fortunately just a 5 minute walk from mine.
Although he looks a bit worse for wear in this snap he wasn't that sloshed at all.
And what about that conversation I mentioned earlier?
Well, it has led to a little adventure which I shall be embarking upon soon, and hopefully, if I return unscathed I'll tell you all about it next time.
