I got engaged!!!

Congratulations.

A few weeks ago, Marc's mother bought us an Easter egg each and Marc bought me a skirt.

A few weeks ago, Marc and i saw the three horses and we gave them some apples. One of the horses had a blackbird on her back when we saw her.

i saw a robin again a few weeks ago.

Last week, Marc bought me a Clangers comic.

Last week, i was in Marc's car and i sang him Summertime by George Gershwin. And i said that i only know two songs about summer. * Then Marc said With a voice like that, that's all you need. So that made me feel special/ more special.

i saw a white butterfly on Friday.

And i was happy that i saw Herman on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, i stroked Herman's head and shell a couple of times. i took him outside a couple of times. Then he fell asleep under the table in Marc's mother's kitchen/ dining room. And i stroked his head and shell again and then put him back in his tank a few hours later. Marc said that Herman didn't bang on the glass to be let out, as he sometimes does. And he said that Herman didn't even bask near his light. So perhaps i have a calming influence on Herman.

Marc bought me an Uncle Bryn magnet, some Uncle Joe's Mint Balls and some Banoffee Flavour Nougat.

Today, Marc and i saw the three horses again. We couldn't reach one of them. i think she was eating some flowers. But we gave the other two horses some apples.

* But then i remembered that i know three.

i saw a white VW van yesterday and i saw a white butterfly today.

Yesterday, i saw a beetle, a car with a Bagpuss toy/ strawberry air freshener, a woman with a Batman/ harley quinn T-shirt, a girl in a Star Wars T-shirt, a boy in a tiger/ Boy gone wild T-shirt, a woman with a smiley face balloon, a man wearing a smileys bandana, a woman wearing a stereo T-shirt, a girl wearing a Looney Tunes T-shirt, a girl wearing a Minnie Mouse T-shirt, a girl wearing a One in a minion T-shirt, a car with a toy pug and a ladybird.

Yesterday, i walked to the city centre and back. When i was in Debenhams, i saw Nicky Wire. He was wearing trousers and a denim jacket. And he had a canvas bag. It had a picture of a bee on it and it said I'm a busy bee.

Also yesterday, i saw a man in a purple hoodie, a man with a blue/ green Mohican, a woman with a Thumper T-shirt and a girl with a toy dog, two men with Star Wars T-shirts, a woman with an Expecto patronum T-shirt, a boy wearing a Welsh flag T-shirt, someone in an I heart Cardiff T-shirt, a woman with a ladybird bag and a crocodile bag and a woman with a gold canvas bag. i have a gold bag but it's a shoulder bag rather than a canvas bag.

Edit: Also also yesterday, Marc bought us some dinner from the Chinese takeaway. They have fish there, in a tank. And he said the fish were chasing each other. And he said he waved at the fish with the big head and the fish looked at him.

Ereyesterday, i saw 12 snails and 1 slug.

Yesterday, i saw 5 snails and a woman with a dark gold shoulder bag. And i saw a man with a small, white dog. The dog looked happy and she was wagging her tail. Just like Pearl/ Marc's sister's dog, always is when i take her for a walk.

When i watched a programme called 100% Hotter a couple of weeks ago, someone on there had to take a few selfies. One of them was with a pug and he was called Aladdin. Aw, pugs.

Marc bought me a black toothbrush, some pink shampoo and some pink conditioner. And a Star Wars bag. One of his sisters bought me a toy donkey. And she bought Marc and me some baklava and some Greek coins.

Marc saw the Red Arrows on the 18th of June.

i saw a caterpillar on Tuesday.

Also on Tuesday, i saw a baby girl that was wearing pink trousers that had ladybirds on.

Herman the tortoise has been staying here since the 18th of June and he is staying here until the 1st of July. He has been in the garden a couple of times and met a couple of the neighbours. I live in a flat so we have a communal garden.

On Monday, Marc was doing some vacuuming and Herman the tortoise seemed to like the vacuum and/ or he found it interesting. Marc said that Herman was chasing the vacuum.

Herman is staying until Monday, so he has stayed even longer than i thought. Also, i took him in the garden on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I still think of Buttery Biscuit Base on the regular. Especially John Torode going "WOBBLE. WOBBLE. WOBBLEWOBBLEWOBBLE."

Between work, chartership, friend events and soon-to-pop pregnant sister, going to be extremely, extremely busy for the next month.

But it's okay. Should just be able to manage it so long as nothing else gets thrown at me.

*phone rings*

Oh, I've now gone sale agreed on a house and have to sort out all that sh*t.

Couldn't be worse timing but still, possible house!

YAAAS Bar'! A+ adulting, fingers crossed it all goes well for you after how long you've waited

Cheers dahl!

Yesterday, Marc gave me a silver heart that he found.
