crystalcazzieHappy First Day of Autumn! And Happy Strictly Launch Day! I'm celebrating by drinking champagne and eating raspberries. I also changed my bedding yesterday and now have the pretty forest duvet cover, which feels very autumnal. This is my season and I'm going to make the most of it! And I still plan to eat and drink as much as I can. I did try Starbucks's Salted Maple and Caramel Latte the other day and must admit that I wasn't overly impressed, but there are still many more autumnal options out there just waiting to be savoured!
I did watch the funeral on Monday. All the way from start to finish, although I wasn't glued to the TV the whole time. As interested as I am in all the pageantry there's only so long I can watch a coffin being pulled up a really long drive!
I've been enjoying playing through Return to Monkey Island. I was feeling proud about the fact that I hadn't really got stuck at any point, but I think I have to admit that I am now. It's particularly annoying cos it's not that I need to solve a puzzle or find an item, it's that I literally don't know what I'm supposed to do next. I mean, I know Iron Rose has the final key that I need but I have no idea where she is or how to get to her. I did trigger a cut scene where some of LeChuck's crew said they were going to travel to Melee Island, but they haven't turned up. So now I'm just aimlessly wandering around looking for something I've missed, which is rather frustrating.
In decluttering news, I got rid of a load of my old university notes today. That probably doesn't sound like much, but I'm feeling really good about myself for finally doing it. Despite graduating 16 years ago and not even glancing at my notes once since then I kept holding on to them thinking that I'd want them for some reason in the future. Finally admitting that I won't and there's no point in clinging to the past feels really freeing. I hope I can keep it up with other things too.
