- Astonishingly, the sea restored the hole it had earlier gouged in the beach, covering the new steps we started to build with fresh rocks, and excavating my morning seat that had been buried. So, back to how it was before.
- Started a new story for NaNoWriMo. Stayed pretty on top of the word count.
- Worked with a new crew to get a funding application in for a local commumnity support project.
- Dave and Huan briefly came back.
- Made apple cake and apple and fig strudel at the Community Kitchen, and even stayed to eat some. Chanterelle pizza at home.
- Pressed the button on the smoke machine at K's for hallowe'en.
- Just about finished my hallway cupboard pantry and tool storage updates, including underfloor insulation in just that wee bit.
- Played lego with R.
- Week two off work.
- Dramatic skies.
- A trip to Linlithgow market, and theatre and dinner in Glasgow.
- Removed the builtin hallway cupboards, finally, but the person who asked for them changed their mind after actually bothering to measure their space, so now they're taking up space in the stairwell >:( R helped me to plaster the gaps.
- Harvested... and resorted to fermenting everything.
- Made chocolate raspberry cakes at the Community Kitchen; seitan pepperoni at home for pizza; raspberry and blueberry scones; a ton of summer fruit compote.

The finishing touch for the hallway nook pantry - fairy lights, which I scavenged from a box of "free stuff" cleared out of my late neighbour's flat.
(And to make Mum happy, I strung up the seed advent calendar she sent me there as well.)

Far longer than planned browsing fabric in Rejects. I think I'll get the black and gold with mushrooms/space/leaves for a wee curtain and cushion in my hallway. Also, some astonishing light fittings, that are far too expensive.

An excellent new light fitting for 50p from Furniture Plus.
The chilli plants moved into my living room, along with a great many aphids :/

Started putting shelves up in the hallway nook. R can't resist the opportunity to insulate something of course, so we took up the floor boards, cleaned all of the junk out (found a whole set of drill bits!) levelled the floor and put insulation in, then put laminate down (leftover from Dave's room).
Started populating the shelves with pantry and gardening items.

Finally finished filling and sanding and painting the nooks in my hallway following the built-in cupboard removal. I mixed purple and green paints leftover from the bedrooms to make kind of a darker more moody purple, managed to not just end up with grey or brown. I like how the dark colours and lack of light in the nook makes the ceiling invisible/indefinite.
R helped me make shelves from a stack of decking wood that has been sitting around in his shed for years. Just cleaned it up and cut to size, no finishing.

Looking for hallway decor inspiration in Rejects. Patching up the inside of the cupboards with plaster and R's help.

Successfully removed the builtin hallway cupboards. Behind them was surprisingly not a disaster! A bit of hole filling to do, but basically ready for shelves.

A visit to Livingston to help K&M paint (or, as it turns out, strip wallpaper). And snuggle time with Lowenna. Who prevented me from sleeping. But is still the sweetest thing.
