Week 178: Humble

A week of relaxing, reading classic horror, birthday cocktails, the big light, shopping, wine flights, crumbles, and a couple of tiny purring lads.

We had a deliberately relaxed week without too many plans, we’re both quite tired.
I’ve been reading a lot for the last couple of weeks and I’m on track with my very unimpressive 12-books-in-a-year target. I read Frankenstein, which I enjoyed a lot, and have moved on to Dracula which is great so far. I didn’t mean to end up in “classic horror fiction 2024” but here we are. I might try the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde next.
On Tuesday I went to Alice’s birthday drinks and drank quite a few cocktails. It was fun! I didn’t need to stay as late as I did but the company was good. Wednesday wasn’t so fun.
In house news, we have lights again! Just not in the bathroom. Shah, the local man I’m paying to be my electrician/gas engineer/friend, will fit a new bathroom light soon ☺️ it’s been over a month of no big lights and the novelty of having them back is great.
On Saturday, Charlotte and I decided to have a day of shopping and wine. We visited The Humble Grape a short walk away and had a little wine flight and some cheese. It was so nice. On Sunday we went to Humble Crumble to complete our Humble Weekend.
In tiny lad news, they’re just so excellent. Tom Barnaby, who is more shy than Douglas Fir, has finally decided that cuddling up to us and purring is a great way to spend his time. Just two purring lads who live with us.
