August goals 2017

_
August goals.  Well, I only really have one main goal and that’s to enjoy the next five weeks with my family.  So this is going to be a fairly short post!  Looking back at last month’s goals, I’m pleased that I managed to join in a few blogger exchanges on Twitter, and chuffed to bits that I managed to lose some weight!  Anyway, on with August’s goals …

Family time

I’m really, really lucky that, due to an unexpected set of circumstances, I don’t have to work very much this August.  That means I can spend time with my lovely daughter and husband.  Flora is seven now, she won’t be a child for much longer and I’m really looking forward to doing things and going places with her this summer that I haven’t been able to do in previous years.  Those of you who follow me on Instagram, be warned, you are likely to see a fair few child-related activity pictures over the coming weeks …

My blog

As some readers will have noticed, my blog is now in its new home 🙂 although I’m still in the process of updating all my links, including Bloglovin’.  If you followed me previously on Bloglovin’, I will hopefully be able to migrate you over too.

Also on the subject of links, if you come across anything that isn’t working, or looks rather odd, please could you let me know too? Thank you.

Pen paling

I’ve been pen paling with my lovely blogger friend, Lydia recently although my last card to her has gone astray, thank you so much, Royal Mail, grrrr.  And I’ve also started pen paling with another lovely blogger friend, Isabel too.  The idea behind pen paling is that as so much communication today is electronic, it’s rather nice to take time to choose a card or notepaper, and actually put pen to paper.  In today’s world of tweets and texts, it’s lovely to rediscover the simple pleasure of writing to someone, so I definitely want to keep my pen paling going.  Let me know if you’d like to join in?

And those are my goals for this month – as I said, it’s a short list because, for once, I will be spending as much time as possible with my family!

What are your August goals? Will you be spending time with loved ones too? Have you any holidays planned? Do let me know.
