Home Alone

I am home alone tonight and loving it - husband is fine dining in London.  Without me!  So [in an ever so slight huff] I warmed up a tin of soup for my supper, ate it from a tray on my lap and read a book.  Finished up with a chocolate frog and a cuppa.  Heaven to be a slob for the night but I shan't let him indoors know that.

I don't often get to be home alone.  Husband's football training coincides with my yoga classes (twice a week!) and he's more of a home bird than me.  He certainly isn't one for boozing down the pub every night - sometimes I wish he was but perhaps I'd get fed up of him always disappearing up the road for a 'quick one'.

So I have gathered up my crochet and here's where I'll be for the rest of the night:

Check out the 'viewfinder' border on this picture! I am loving fiddling about with the camera on my phone! 

I love fairy lights and pretty hangy things.   This little wooden heart was one of my bridal presents on my wedding day.  I love it and I will continue to hang it from our bedpost when we are old and grey. 

I've switched my 'Zetter dog' on tonight too.  He looks kind of creepy in this picture but he is kooky in real life - I love him.  It was the first present my husband ever bought me, after a particularly lovely weekend at the Zetter Hotel in London.  One of these dog lights (in bright pink) was in our room.  I loved it so he had this white one sent to me at my new flat as a moving-in present.  He does great gifts, my man.  

It's a good job I haven't seen this huge pile of ironing in our spare room; I might be inclined to do something about it if I had.... ;-)

That's the trouble with sunny, blustery days.  You get loads of washing done and have to do loads of ironing!  I'm rubbish at keeping on top of housework.  Am seriously considering getting a cleaner but it makes me feel a bit lazy.  I don't have any children so I really should have time to keep my own house clean. Also, since researching it, I've found that cleaning firms generally don't clean ovens or windows - those are the things I like doing least! I actually quite enjoy doing the ironing and I do just about manage to flick a duster around but the oven and windows are horrible jobs!  

No cheerful outfit posts from me today.  I've been wearing my usual uninspiring work-from-home outfit of a sloppy joe jumper and chinos.  I have five-day-old hair now which is a first for me.  It feels like it's going to crawl off my head and die somewhere.  But I'm not going to show you pictures of that!  

Hope that everyone is having a fabulous week.  I've got a few days off so I finish on Thursday, we're having a little mini-break at the weekend.  Can't wait.
