Walking

So walking has been going really well, especially when you get a nice day like the other day. I haven't been hit by a proper downpour apart from the first day either so that it pretty good! So I am pretty excited about this. Dixon doesn't want me walking home at night though, it hasn't been too dark yet, but I think its because i won't get home til at least 7:15 and he waits until I get home to eat supper with me. So that is a pretty long wait for him, especially with the kind of work he has been doing.

So I just thought I would share some pictures I've taken as I've gone along.

Application

I don't really know where the time went, but it is almost time for my application for Indefinite Leave to Remain, and you know what, I am a bit anxious about it. I suppose I am bound to be with my success rate of 66.6% in these kind of applications. That is to say that only one of them failed, but it still makes you feel really  nervous as you lay away at night. Pretty well everything is in order, as far as I  know, just waiting for some different papers to come through and a bit worried about funds as Virgin Media, TV Licence and Council tax are more than I thought they would be, though I have had a bit more of a heads up for the Council tax side of things. So money will be tight this month.

Other than that I am pretty good, I have started recycling which has made me walk more, because our local recycling spot is not far away, same with the library which is less than five minutes away and today I walked to work, more out of economical need rather than anything else. But it kind of does make you feel good, though I don't know if after this month I will continue, and hour and a a bit each way is a pretty far walk, but we will see.

I have finished Counting at the Zoo! Which is very exciting, I can't wait to send them over to James, Tina and wee Payton. Hopefully sooner rather than later. So here is your wee peek.


I also made soup and roasted my first ever batch of peppers! Which were pretty darn good and the soup even better! So Yay for some cooking.


Sorry that this post has mostly been whining about money, but I have had it on my mind a lot.
