Today, Sunday, is hot and sunny and according to the weather forecasters will pretty much remain so for the coming week. Who doesn't love a last burst of warm weather during September to set us up for the winter ahead.
Once our girls were all grown up and we didn't have to holiday during the school breaks, we always went on holiday during mid to late September. Weather is usually warm and dry with the temperature only really dropping in the evenings. Perfect for me who cannot cope with extremely hot weather anyway.
We've gotten out of the habit of holidays since covid hit and the dogs being quite young, but must really try and start booking a few breaks.
At present I'm in a 'it needs to change' frame of mind! Oh I'm still in 'it all must go' too but my mind is also planning and scheming on moving/changing things about the house! Some plans are being made but cannot be actioned until the new year but being me, I want to start tweaking the place now! But I will have to wait and make do with carrying on with the downsizing of the dolls and their things and since that will probably take from now and into next year I will have to make do with just planning and tweaking lol
Apart from my daydreaming and planning, we have just been pottering about the place and enjoying some time in the garden on the warmer days.
On the doll front, one doll left but two arrived. Both of which had been on preorder, so not a recent spend!
They are both additions to my little Chinese family, both Gigi, a large 12in girl at the back and the smaller 8 inch in the middle on the right. Ten ping and little sister Yu Ping have been around for a good while. I did own a small Gigi for a long time then sold her off only to wish I'd kept her, as usual!
One of the other things I decided over the summer is to reduce more of the non Sasha dolls I have, I need to stop falling in love with a pretty face! easier said than done I know ! But I'm going to restrict any doll buying to a select few types and sell off the rest! Yes another massive cull is on it's way! But needs must even though it's more the dolls add on's that are flooding the doll studio, if the dolls go, their bits and pieces can follow suit. Hopefully!
Ashley is todays headliner, one of my first No Navel dolls and looking pretty in her Karen W dress and Rosie B shoes.
Well I need to go and fight my way into the doll studio, so I can make some room and sort out some things to sell and also use for a blog post I have planned. So I will wish you all a happy healthy week ahead.
