I always start these monthly Insta-snaps saying the month has been odd or weird for me, so I guys if I’m summing up October I’d say IRL busy. It’s been a long time since I’ve done proper detailed diary-esque entries about everything going on in my life and, if I’m honest, I never feel a real reason to do that kind of thing so much anymore. A lot of the time it’s because I can’t really talk about that kind of stuff publically, most of the time it’s because you guys don’t want to hear me moan about stress or work or how tired I am. Blogging’s always been my respite for that, so I’m glad to have this little corner of the Internet try to be positive.
As well as busy, October’s been seriously reflective for me for many reasons – again in my personal IRL stuff – but also just in terms of getting my head screwed on straight again…not gonna lie Taylor Swift could not have timed 1989 more perfectly with everything happening at the moment. A good catch up with the lovely Erin – as it always does – has also given me a decent kick up the backside to keep on at this blog thing.
Also, proud parent moment, Blogger’s Bookshelf turned TWO last Sunday (we’re running a giveaway to celebrate at the moment if you want to enter!). I’m not gonna lie I felt a great swell of pride putting together our infographic for this year – those numbers blow my mind sometimes!
Anywho, toodles for now. See you on the other side of November (crikey, almost end of the year!)
