Autumn is in full swing. I still call it Fall, but you know what I mean.
We haven't had to crank on the heat just yet, but today is pretty cold.
I'm chillaxin' under my wooby.
(I can't believe I just typed that. I need to get a job.)
The biggest adjustment is how short the daylight hours are getting.
It's dark until almost 8 am and dark again before 6pm.
We're seeing less sunshine and more grey skies.
It definitely makes you want to hibernate.
We are trying to stay busy. TE knows how bored I am at home all day,
so we are keeping the calendar full. Unfortunately, TE has been sick all week.
Monday, as you know, is Ironing Day. ::insert eye roll here::
The only good thing about it is that I use the time to get caught up on my American TV shows.
Glee, Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, etc.
A few months ago, I was contacted by UnoTelly and they were nice enough
to give me a subscription to their proxy service.
Now I can use my Netflix, Hulu and Pandora accounts.
I can access all of US websites that were blocked once we moved to the UK.
Makes me very happy!
They have an 8-day free trial, if you are interested.
Monday I went to see
comedian Sarah Millican.
It was just a small venue and she was
trying out
material for her new series and Christmas Special.
She is hysterical!
One of my new UK favorite things.
You can check her out on
Last night, I went to the
Hammersmith Apollo to
see another of my new favorites,
Irish comedian Dara O'Briain.
(Fair warning, they can be a bit naughty...
don't follow the links
if you're easily offended.)
I was getting so excited about "the holidays" coming up, but then I
realized they don't really do Halloween here and the Brits certainly don't do Thanksgiving.
That would be silly. So that just leaves Christmas.
I managed to get a pumpkin at the market and we're planning a
London Ghost Tour next week for Halloween. So excited!
We also have fun plans for Thanksgiving.
So, we will be celebrating the full range of holidays over the next few months.
I've also been working on the cutest cross stitch project lately.
It's the Hope Tattoo Tapestry by the Emily Peacock Collection.
Isn't it pretty? I love the colors and the large canvas makes it easy to do.
They have some really cute stuff.
Oh, and I saw this yesterday while we were out.
Short and sweet. I like it.
Art class, drivers license and job search are all ongoing.
Hopefully, I'll have some updates soon.
Tonight we have a wine tasting and tomorrow we're going to a wedding.
Perfect excuse for a new dress!
I hope you each have a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by for I Spy Friday!
What did you spy this week?

This is not a sponsored post, but UnoTelly was nice enough to give me a subscription to their service to try out. I paid full price for the cross stitch kit and the tickets for the shows. All opinions are just mine.
