Life happens when you are busy doing other things ......

Sorry for the hiatus ... Life took over for a while. It's been a hectic few months, we got married, moved into a brand new house and one of my best friends moved countries.

Cue lots of DIY and organising for us these last few months. Life has been a bit hectic following the move, we have moved to the other side of the city so it's necessitated shift changes for the hubby & I am now playing taxi. It's not a bad thing as we can get up together and they are more routine than his old shifts but it's still a big change.

Moving also meant we have missed out on going to the gym a lot in the weeks just after the move as we had deliveries and needed to go out to get things after work. We are getting back into it now but it's a bit harder then before due to the later shifts. Hopefully now things have calmed down we can get get into a rhythm again.

The house itself is now 95% sorted, there are just little random bits to sort like getting some shelves in our landing cupboard to make use of the large overhead space for linens. Asking the family builder about expanding our under stair cupboard and sorting through some bits that seem to be currently stored in the garage so I can get the car in. So like you see these are fairly unimportant but just bits we would like to do. Only real thing we need to do soon is tiling the splash back in the kitchen.

In terms of my friend moving the cliff notes is that as of august one of my closest friends is currently residing in South Korea. It's an amazing opportunity and I am so thrilled for all the experiences he's going to get, but it's hard. We've gone from talking to nearly daily whenever something popped up to an eight hour time difference. There is a very small window where we are both awake to IM so trying to embrace delayed longer messaging.

I've got some experience with long distance friendships as another of my best friends lives in LA so that's an 8 hour time difference too. If she wasn't actually American I might start to take it personal that my friends live so far away. Really glad my last best friend is just round the corner... Well sort of she lives in Cumbria so that's an easy drive away for visiting. 

So anyway that's a cliff notes version of the last few months and now hopefully I will have some more time to read, blog, relax and go to the gym.
