11.11am, At The Vault Kitchen. We were having a coffee with Laura and co for her birthday, then I zoomed back to the flat to do more painting. We are nearly done with that part of DIY! A quick trip to the industrial estate (we spend a LOT of time there at the mo) for lights, bench tops and other such excitement, then a trip to the gym, followed by sausage and mash and wine.

Sunday 29th September – Watching paint dry
Current location: Newlyn
11.11am, Painting the walls! It was actually really fun, painting the walls and floor. I enjoyed it! We did that all day, and then went up to Ruth and James' for a roast, which was delish and lovely.

Saturday 28th September – Rainy afternoons
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Packing. We're moving next week to our new flat and while Andy has been a superstar in working to get it ready, I'm meant to have been packing up our old flat... I haven't done much yet. In the afternoon I popped to the Pyrah and it was such a rainy, tipping-it-down day, we stayed in and played scrabble and ate banana bread. In the eve I worked at La Sirena with Andy, and it was very chilled!

Friday 27 September – Firsts first game
Current location: Penzance
11.11pm, Back home, buzzing. The 1st team had their first match of the season tonight, against Storm 2. In the team are Kate, Tamara, Lauren, Jaz, lots of my close friends, so I went up to support them. It was an ace game, as they were in front by a few goals and kept the lead, but it was close, so it kept it exciting. By the end (and thanks to an epic last quarter), they won 62-42, and the best bit was they all looked totally at home there, after a lot of nerves about being in Div 1. Loved it.

Thursday 26 September – Bookaburras book nook
Current location: Penzance
11.11pm, Home after Book Club. We've started meeting at the Cornish Barn; the back room is so cute and cosy. I arrived to Pip on her own drinking wine, and soon we were all there. It was such a good chat tonight; we read Educated by Tara Westover and it prompted SO MUCH good discussion!

Saturday 21 September – Weddings in Devon
Current location: Hittisleigh Barton
11.11am, Having coffee on our little verandah. Can you call it a verandah when it's a shepherd's hut? Last night we drove up to Devon and stayed in this lovely little hut, before a wedding we have today, Shelley and Lee. I say 'we' but Andy is taking the photos, and I'm basically flitting around organising a little bit. He definitely does the hard work! What was lovely about this wedding is that Emma and Brodie, two of our besties, were there so we got to hang with them!

Thursday 19 September – Shoot day at Pentillie
Current location: Pentillie Castle
11.11am, Helping to co-ordinate wedding styling shoots. In reality, taking photos and uploading them to Insta stories! I love shoot dates, and today was fab; we had such a fun team (always ace working with Suzi), and the model Merilin and hairdresser Lisa brought a great vibe too! We got home late, went to Pico Rico for dinner, they'd sold out, so we went next door for a curry; they were super busy so we ordered takeaway, went to Queen St for a wine while we waited, and finally ended up eating dinner at about 10pm, tired and happy.

Tuesday 17 September – Walking Netball begins!
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, I honestly cannot remember. At work, doing some work, hopefully! So instead I'm going to write about Walking Netball, which I have just started up at the leisure centre. Tonight was the first session, and we had 15 people, and my lovely friend Kate to help. They were such a great group of ladies, and the first session went well, I think (well enough for Kate and I to celebrate with pizza and wine at the Jubilee Pool Cafe afterwards).

Sunday 15 September – Go the Swifts!
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Can't remember. I woke up at 4am to watch the netball team I support (NSW Swifts) in the grand final. They were massive underdogs, having lost to their opposition (Sunshine Coast Lightning) 3 times so far this season. But MY GOD they came out firing. They were simply magnificent, and long story short, won the grand final 64-47! When I had come out my celebration mania/sleep-deprived daze, Andy and I had a walk to Perranuthnoe and chilled on the beach for a bit.

Saturday 14 September – Queen St hangs
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, At 45 Queen St. It's a new spot that's kind of a gin bar, kind of a great hangout, owned by the people who make Tinkture gin. Andy and I have made friends with them, and this morning we went to eat yummy bircher/bacon rolls, listen to music, read the paper and generally have a lovely morn. I went to clean Mum and Dad's apartment after that, and then to our new apartment, and then in the eve, I went back to Queen St to work and help them as it was suuuuuuper busy. So much fun!

Friday 13 September – Long but lovely
Current location: Penzance
11.11am, Coming home from coffee and a walk. I woke up at 4.30am for some reason, so spent the next few hours trying to sleep, giving up, getting up, doing some work, catching up on blogging (only 180 posts to add pictures to, eek!*) and then going to the gym. I met my sister for a walk, and Ruth, and then showed them the flat. Exciting times!
In the afternoon I met our netball Head Coach for a coffee to go over some netball admin, then in the eve, I went for a drink with my lovely boss/friend Rebecca, to 45 Queen Street,
*EDIT: Have since decided I'm not going to. I don't have the time, so with the toss-up of not publishing them at all, or publishing them without pictures, I'm going with the latter. I'll make up for it in the future! x
