White Rabbits, White Rabbits, White Rabbits

Can you believe we're in October?

I was thinking of going somewhere else this morning, to look out at a different view from a different Starbucks, and have a wander around different shops... but in the end... I couldn't  be bothered.  I'm feeling a little blah and a little blue.  I think I'm just hormonal but I wish I could just go home, pack, and hop on a plane to you.

After my eyebrow disaster of yesterday, (the eyebrows are lovely, but it took me 20 minutes to park... 20 minutes Col... in the Old Town!  So I was late for my appointment, which I hate.)  Anyhoo, luckily, Mandie didn't have anyone in after me and so I could still have my brows done and she was very gracious about me being late... she knew I wouldn't just not turn up.  Well... it was so hot and I'd had such a busy morning, I decided to go home and set about my washing and ironing.  So, three hours later, I'd done two wash loads and ironed everything.  Hot work in this weather but so great it get to out of the way.  I spent the afternoon in some of my NZ shorts, (the khaki ones,) can you believe me, in shorts, here, practically in October?

I told the Starbucks ladies this morning that they gave me full fat milk on the top of my filter yesterday and they've just handed me my filter with an extra paper cup of skimmed milk.   I feel a tiny bit better.

I left early again this morning and stocked up on my sparkling water while it's on offer.  I can have a leisurely morning tomorrow. 

More family upsets last night.  Nothing to do with me, as usual, I just feel the fallout.  I need to look for three birthday presents before I head home.  (October is an expensive month.)  Then, I need to head home to blitz.  You know I'm not tidy but my head feels cluttered so I need to do something about that.

I've been having trouble sleeping again lately, especially on a Sunday night.  I was going to invest in some herbal sleeping tablets but I don't like taking anything like that, still, while looking at the herbal items, I spotted Bach's Rescue Remedy Night-time.  I used to live off Rescue Remedy, remember?  I used to consume it by the litre.  Anyway, they now make a night time version.  Last night, I made myself a little warm milk and took three drops of the remedy.  It's horribly sweet, but I slept like a log.  Now then, last night is not a litmus test , I was already very tired before I had the drops, and the warm milk.... and the wine may have helped too.  I'll let you know how Sunday goes.
