AUTUMN IS COMING *Runs around throwing leaves*

Max is so laid back he probably wouldn't care if I put him in costume. We recently put a collar on him and he didn't batter an eyelid.

I love autumn. Makes me want to draw lots of leaves.

Then you have no excuse not to dress him up as a bat!! :p

Autumn is great.
Although my birthday is in autumn and I don't get that excited about them now I am old

If you do, I'd love to see them Lorraine.

As soon as the leaves fall I'll start drawing them and post them.

I'd love to see them too!

Thanks. I'll definitely draw some. It will be a little while before the leaves fall. Not too long though.

I love it when the leaves go all orange and crispy!!

Im not looking forward to the colder, darker mornings though.
Im gonna have to get up for college really early!

Everything looks so warm and pretty but the cold darkness is not so good. I love walking through the leaves. There's always lots of them near me because of the parks.

I wish I lived near more parks!
Its strange that I live in a rural town surrounded by fields, but there arent any parks or anything!

Glasgow has lots and lots of parks, and I live near quite a few of them.

You're lucky!

Im watching The incredibles.
There's nothing on tv!

I have a park at the bottom of the road.

I think I've seen the incredibles. Is that the cartoon family that are super heroes?

I'm going to watch some Netflix.

Yep thats the one lorraine!

It feels much later than it is

It does feel late. I could easily go to sleep right now.

Same!
I need to be up early to try and book a GP appointment.
You have to start calling bang on 8am to be in with a chance!

I hope you get an appointment and are ok.

Thanks!
Its just about my ankle.
Hopefully she'll be able to do something!

That's a shame you are still having problems with it. Hopefully they will be able to help. I hope it heals soon.

Thanks :)

I can't believe it's dark already. It happened so suddenly. One day it's summer then boom it's gone!

I was just thinking that!

Morning all :)

Morning Katy, how are you?

I'm okay thanks, how about you?

Slightly nervous - waiting for a call from work. My friend just reiterated that it's one of the conditions of me moving back in with them, because they reckon I get worse when I have nothing going on. Going to be a challenge balancing that and the exhaustion but I guess I'll see how it goes.

Morning guys. <3

that sounds tough Eska, I hope the phone call goes okay. Maybe you could put a plan in place when back at work of a specific relaxing routine for when you get home so that you can relax and regroup.

Morning Luna :)

Morning guys

EDIT: its actually afternoon. I had a nap. Oops!

So did I, Beckie!

The phone call went well :)

Yay for naps!

I'm glad the phone call went well eska! :)

Glad the call went well Eska!

Hey Luna
How are you?

Feeling a bit rough today.
How are you Beckie?

Glad call went well Eska :)

Hey Beckie, hey Luna :)

I've finally sorted out getting a tattoo of a gordion knot to cover up a tattoo with mistakes in it, getting it tomorrow, very excited. Bit nervous though-I'm not great with needles and this one will take hour and a half, unlike the 30/40 min ones I've had before.

Sorry you're feeling rough Luna *cuddles gently*

Sorry you're feeling rough Luna
Make sure to rest up!

I love getting tattoos!
Its been ages since my last one!
I'm sure you'll be fine.
I've found that you kind of settle in to the feeling if its a long session

I've just rebooked driving test for the 18th
I really hope I pass this one!

Wow, that's a long time Katy. I hope it will all be worth it.
I, too, love getting tattoos. I want to save up for some tattooes to cover up my scars.

18th September Beckie? I really hope you pass too, especially as last time was out of your control.

Ive just bought a few raffle tickets from my local tattoo place.
The prize is a half day sitting with the artist of your choice so fingers crossed!
Its being drawn at this festival thing.
One of the characters in town passed away, he was a very well loved fixture in town.
I was in hospital with him a few years ago.
We all used to call him Jesus.
So yeah, a festival has been arranged and all proceeds are going to Mind.
I think thats quite a cool thing to do!

Thanks Luna!
Yep, September.
Its in a different town this time.
A smaller town so don't know if that's gonna be easier or harder!!

Whats everyone up to?

Oh wow, that's really cool. We had a 'Jesus' and he would give you money if you told him it was your birthday. All my friends would do it but I didn't because it didn't feel right. He died of cancer which was really sad but we still have the Wizard man!
Fingers crossed you win the raffle, the prize sounds awesome!!

I wouldn't feel right about taking money either!
Thats sad that he died.
Wizard man sounds interesting!!

Thanks! I'm really overdue a tattoo! Lol :p

I eventually want a sleeve on my other arm to cover my scars as well Luna, thinking of a phoenix as the flames might kind of go with the indentations/risen scars, plus phoenix, hope, Harry Potter, what can go wrong there? :P

I think the festival sounds like a fab idea of rememberance and fun, hope you win the raffle! I'm sure you'll pass next time, as said by Luna this one was out of your control.

Ha ha Beckie we'll all have to club together to get you a massive aardvark tattoo on your forehead :P

Sounds awesome Katy. I don't know what I would want yet.

Phoenix is a fabulous idea!

Haha!! I would totally get an aardvark tattoo.
Just maybe not on my face :p
I found my book 'the awkward aardvark' when I cleaned up my bookshelf!

Hey everyone.

Hi Lorraine
How are you?
