Day 30 - 3 wonderful things that happened this month

First things first - the most wonderful thing is that I actually completed the 30DHN project. OK, so some posts went up late, some were left with huge gaps in and filled in later, but they were all done. And possibly as a result, I have gone from having 3 followers to having 7. I can cross of one of the tasks from my '50' list, and I actually - for the most part - enjoyed it! It's surprising how difficult it is to find time everyday to put a few lines together, and it's very easy to leave the blog un-touched for days.  It really helped to have a focus for each day's post so a huge "Thank You!" to Desiree Fawn for her beautiful blog from which this idea originated.

And now for something which some people wouldn't give even a second glance to:

My companion for all 4 parkruns this month has been the lovely Matilda Stockwell. Possibly better known to the world at large as Lime, this little one actually seems to have perfectly content to spend 30 or so minutes at a frighteningly early hour every Saturday perched on my shoulders, or on my hip, or even tucked under my arm! I've really enjoyed looking after her, and feel kinda honoured that her Mama trusts me enough to leave her in my care - thanks Dani!

The reason that this is wonderful, other than the things I've said above, is that I don't generally like Baby children (they're fine once they can talk, and are responsible for their own toilet needs!) but this particular Babe has captivated me somewhat... and I'm looking forward to seeing her grow! 

Also, as the picture below shows, we've now reached the point where Lime is actually having fun whilst the parents punish themselves enjoy themselves on the parkrun course!

The Third wonderful thing that this month has held was the discovery of the mooncup. I'm not going to go into great details here - just want to say that as an alternative to tampons/sanitary towels, the mooncup is life-changingly fabulous. (and it's environmentally friendly!) if you want to know more, click here.

And so we are at the end of November... but maybe not at the end of daily blogging... watch this space...
