The summer has been quite hectic for me so I haven't managed to get blogging much. My Chronic fatigue has been very unpredictable with good and bad days. Hence the lack of posts so I thought it was time for a little update of what's been happening.
I spent a lovely two weeks down in Midsomer Norton with the family. I can't believe how much my niece Lilly has grown up. She is going to be 10 years old this month. It seems like only yesterday that she was a baby. I also got to see my other nieces and nephews who are all growing far too fast.

| Cousins all together. |
I loved getting to spend time with my Mum, sister and Lilly. We even went to the cinema to see Inside Out which was fun. I really loved the Lava short before the film too. I was really pleased that I went because one of my anxiety I hadn't been to the cinema in 10 years and I was fine. I really enjoyed myself.
I also took up adult colouring too whilst down in Somerset. I find it relaxing and it's been good for my fatigue because I can colour and relax without sleeping. Whilst colouring I have been watching some great programs on Netflix including Orange Is The New Black and recently Dance Academy.

And finally we took Shortie to another local park fun dog show and he came third in the scruffiest dog category. He may be a scruff but we love him so much.
