It feels too soon to be writing this but here we are...a month until Christmas!!
Things I've Loved/Disliked There is of course, the obvious one but for everyone's sanity, I'll skip it. Focusing on what I loved instead, I'll go with Max Frost doing another round of the battle of the covers. Follow his Insta and join in the voting. He's such a talent and it's a free, fun game. It puts a gleeful spring in my step every time he posts another round.
Took my birthday present (from back in Feb) out for the first time at Currawong. Had a really lovely early morning (but late enough for the sharks to not be feeding...no dawn and dusk people!) paddle board. Am on the look out for more opportunity to use it.
Things I need to Improve I am constantly feeling stressed and time poor - but I think I'm just mismanaging time. I do have a lot of obligations at the moment and my work is suffering a bit. I need to maybe get myself better organised, though I sort of resent all the extra work Christmas creates at the moment (I know by mid December I get to enjoy the rewards with all the socialising but for now I'm a little bah humbug).
Things I've Accomplished Half the Christmas shopping. Though one kiddo has literally nothing from Santa at this stage. Even sorted half the food (ordered not arrived, obvs). So for me, that's feeling very organised....yet I still feel I'm not!
The photos this week are from my bay run walk, but I've decided to flick some upside down because you may remember I like to do that (other times are here , here and here) If you want them right side up, look here.
Hope you had a great month too!
While updating an old post about #SharetheDignity's Christmas Appeal, I was reminded that "My annual #Itsinthebag post also heralds the start of my Friday Xmas Link Up. Swing by on Friday, starting on the 22nd November to link up any Christmas themed posts. Hope to see you Friday with your Christmas cheer, as we count down to the end of the year."
So see you Friday for some Christmas fun!

Click here to enterI have long been aware I would be an unreliable witness. I don't notice anything. I can't remember what I did yesterday, let alone six weeks ago. I can't remember what people are wearing when I scan a crowd looking for them...I even sometimes remember them in what they wore a few days ago, rather than what they wore this morning...(This has always been the case, not a new sign of deterioration)
So it was little surprise when I said to my friend on our morning walk "Are these new? Someone's been busy" and she politely (though I'm guessing a little incredulously) said "Er, I think they've been there for awhile". I'm guessing the 22 in the signature means it's been there for 2 years....opps.Lovely work either way....
And the pelican looked cute all fluffed up by the wind so I'll sign off with him.

If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.
As Grace Petrie says in the song 'Grab a spade and grab a hammer', it's time to roll up our sleeves and do what we can....
