I woke not long after five with cramp in my left leg. Happens now and then, I get up move around, drink some water. Once it had settled down enough, I went to my desk, and dug out my junk journal. Its Halloween themed, and I don't add to it enough. So, I sat and did a couple of spreads. Both themed to poisoner's, a bit like someone had created a dossier on one. That's what I like about it, you can use anything in your stash, anything you find and no affiliate links need to be used. Because while you can use branded stamps etc, you don't have to limit yourself. I'm about halfway through it, and I will keep it once it's done. I will do another, but will more than likely gift it to someone I know who will enjoy flipping through it. People sell completed junk journals on Etsy, but I don't want to go down that route. Selling stuff opens you up to all sorts of hassle, and for me kills the fun out of doing it. I would rather just enjoy putting one together for me or a friend who would enjoy it...
At 12.30, Lauren picked us up to take us to the Air Hostess at Tollerton for lunch with the family (Dorothy, Ian and Charlotte and of course Lauren) for Charlotte's Birthday.
The place itself is lovely, busy but not heaving. The food was very good too, I had butternut squash rissoto, Kev had Lasagne, both really hot and tasty.
We had apple and blackberry charlotte for desert. Again really good.
In fact Charlotte and Ian booked for Boxing Day and New Year's Day while we were there. Apparently they don't charge any more for the festive lunches than they do now, which is a bit of a refreshing change. You just have to book in plenty of time. I think its because its a community pub, and they encourage locals to work there, and everyone to pay a fair price for drinks and food.
All in all a lovely day out
