On reflection, September was probably the most exciting and unplanned month of 2018. To begin with, the 1st was David’s 24th birthday. We’d booked tickets to see Kynren (a live outdoor show telling the story of England) for the 31st of August, the evening before David's birthday. Although Kynren wasn’t a birthday present in particular, we had it all set weeks in advance and of course, on the evening I end up too ill to attend. Luckily David still ended up going with a friend, but the illness continued for the rest of the weekend and into the next week meaning that I was mostly in bed for David’s birthday weekend. Though I don’t think he seemed to mind, it would’ve been nice to have a marked his birthday with a nice meal out, visiting the cinema or seeing Kynren together!
The 14th was my leaving drinks at work, the 20th was my last day, while the 24th was my first day at my new job (it's been a busy few weeks). Additionally, the 4th was David's first day at his new job!
Also within September, we painted, glossed and prepared the upstairs of our house for the new carpets which were fitted on the 17th. The home feels a lot more like ours (and warmer!), and for some strange reason, I'm reminded of Christmas when I stand in what will be our main bedroom.
Finally, on the 19th, we picked up our new car! The purchase was completely impulsive: we went to visit the VW garage on the Saturday prior - the 15th - and by 5pm, we've signed the documents, paid our deposit, and confirmed our pick-up date for the 19th. We're now the proud owners of a VW Tiguan. It is an absolute dream to drive and is so spacious I can't wait to visit IKEA with it!
