Our daily photos are usually a pretty good representation of what goes on in our life throughout the month, but for the things they don't show see below...

Loving
12 Days Wild.

Hating
Fireworks, peak hunting season and the XL Bully ban.

Feeling
Conflicted!
On one hand, I'm feeling so defeated by the way this country and the world, in general, is going.
However, I have to fight against my own inner pessimism and try to have some hope for the new year.

Thinking
About how to make the things we want, happen as soon as possible.

Doing More
Editing videos haha!
Trying to catch up with this year's 1 Second Per Day videos and I have!

Doing Less
Going anywhere. I've purposely stayed away from anywhere where people are,
not just because of the school holidays or the fact that the red and green 'C' word is inescapable,
but also because we haven't stopped avoiding the other 'C' word but other people have
and the rates have skyrocketed again. I refuse to get ill. 

Standout Moments
- It snowed...a lot.
- Cute cosy pets in snuggly beds and jumpers

- Cleaned up Grandma's grave
- Fell into the genealogy hole again
- Lots of lovely sunrises/sunsets
- Seeing Nacreous clouds!
- 12 Days Wild
- Comfy and practical footware
