And so another photo an hour day rolls round - doing this challenge each month seems to be about one of the only things I'm keeping up with! Everything else - blogging, reading, baking, cleaning the house - fallen by the wayside over the last few months.
Anyway, onto last Saturday, a bit of a mixture of a day - some of it boring and some of it a bit more interesting.
9am - A glass of orange juice to start the day (the fancy 'not from concentrate' stuff as well) :-)
10am - A bit of a rest before starting some cleaning. I've realised over the last few months I need to do a bit of work and then sit down for a bit otherwise I just knacker myself out.
11am - Lots of laundry which needed to be put away.
12pm - More cleaning, although the dishwasher means I don't have to do the leg (arm?) work.
1pm - Another pitstop. A cup of tea and one of these chocolate scones picked up from Tesco the previous night.
2pm - Andrew's turn to do some housework now and all I have to do is lift up my legs!
3pm - Time to get ready to go out and this was the print I'd chosen for the evening (from the New Look maternity range although I acquired it from a charity shop, obvs) ;-)
4pm - On the road, heading off to Sturminster Newton in Dorset (the place for the first illuminated carnival of the season here in the South West)
5pm - Not too much further to go now...
6pm - Luckily my parents had already arrived and done the chip shop run for us. Me and Andrew surfed and turfed it that evening.
7pm - Waiting in the rain for the procession to reach us.
8pm - It was only a small parade but still fairly exciting; being the first one brings out all the carnival friends you haven't seen since last year.
9pm - Back to the car after the carnival and my dad had come prepared with flasks and chocolate.
10pm - Almost back home, just a few miles to go.
11pm - And the usual 'book and hot drink' pic before heading to sleep.
