The month started strongly while I was on holiday but without that the list would have been much shorter as the end of the month got very, very busy. There were five theatre trips, a overnight trip to Essex for an event and a weekend day out in London as well as the holiday – but November is looking much quieter (apart from the start of Christmas preparations!) so hopefully I’ll get back on track now the ticket box is emptier!
Bonus picture: I spend a lot of time taking photos of things I think my (nearly 2 year old) niece will like. This is one of them – her response was “Eat it! Eat it!” so that’s pretty much mission accomplished.

*often includes some short stories/novellas/comics/graphic novels – this month!
