Autumn has arrived . . .

It's been well & truly autumnal here this week as the darker mornings and early sunsets (at least I presume the sun is continuing to rise and set as usual - I haven't actually seen it since last Saturday !) creep in on us.

The dreaded lurgy struck here last week and whilst I'm now still snuffly and sneezy, I'm feeling a whole lot better than I was :-).  It was my birthday weekend too, but I wasn't feeling up to much, so as it's The Hubby's birthday on Friday, we decided to postpone all celebrations to this weekend instead.
Anyway, so the point of my story is that I've been laying low and taking it easy which means pretty much neglecting the chores, leaving the cooking-of-meals to the aforementioned Hubby (and may I just say, he is really good at it) and mostly just lying on the sofa watching tv, knitting, crocheting, reading and cuddling the two most-adorable-pups-in-the-world.

I did also summon enough energy to pack away my summer wardrobe and bring out all my demi-saison & wintery things so am feeling quite organized and ready to greet the new season.

I also got around to wrapping up and posting off my goodies for Blueberry Heart's Cosy Autumn Swap,

so actually, it's been a pretty productive week so far afterall.  This was my first ever swap and I so enjoyed it.  Next up is Laalaa's Advent Swap which promises to be great fun too.

Right, I'm off back to my sofa to knit a quick pair of woolly mittens - a gift for a friend.

Enjoy the rest of the week,

xoxo
