An actual update (mostly photos)

[hils]

Look! An actual update that isn't about what TV I've watched!

I took my curtains back and swapped them for the right size. Got them hung and all is good



You can see where the light is coming through them


This is what the lining looked like on the back. So worn you could see the fabric through it


And after. You can't really see because it took it with the lights off to show how no light is coming through but they're a lovely shade of purple

In other news I've been trying to decide what I want to do for my birthday this year (it's not until September but I like to have A Plan). I thought about going to the cabin I stayed in for my birthday in 2020 but I kind of had my heart set on going to somewhere near the sea again. Unfortunately the place I stayed in for Emma's birthday last year (the place I was supposed to stay at in Christmas 2020 but which got cancelled due to lockdown) is now only accepting week long bookings and I only want to go for a few days.

I poked around and found a few potential places but I really fell in love with one in particular. The only downside is there's no wifi on the property, and you all know how Very Online I like to be. I pondered and considered and looked at a bunch of other places but I kept coming back to this one and finally I decided to just book it. If the phone signal is good enough I can use my phone as a hotspot and if not I'll just download a bunch of dramas and fics before I go. I think gdocs has an offline mode for any writing I want to do and if not I can just download my fic and put it into Word.

So, I'm excited. Last year's birthday was okay but it was a lot of people and socialising. I prefer quiet time where I can just do what I want and not speak to anyone expect via social media. I'm such an introvert.

Anyway, here's some pics of where I'll be staying. The sea view is what really sold it to me.







Love a bedroom with an ocean view

Definitely a place to chill out in - love the sea ❤️

[hils]

Yeah, I think it'll be nice to get away and get some fresh sea air

The place looks amazing - and it sounds like a perfect birthday :)

[hils]

Hee, yes, the pic makes them look brown. Purple is indeed much better! \o/

I don't think that's too early to start? Those things book out much faster than you'd think. (I remember I once had to wait a whole year because the place I wanted was sold out, and I barely managed to get it for the year after - 14 months in advance O_O)


The ocean view is magnificent! <3
