Wisdom from a random Saturday

This morning, I got up early to go for a run.  It was a foggy morning and the park was beautiful.  Autumn is in full swing now; the path is covered in fallen leaves and the trees are gradually becoming barer.  This morning I saw spider's webs covered in dew for the first time this autumn.  As usual I only had my phone so not the best photo, but you get the picture:

When I got home it was breakfast time and I decided to have toast.  For some reason we have a peculiar rule in our house that toast may only be eaten on weekends.  Both Carlos and I suspect the other of instituting the rule, and both of us break it regularly, but still it persists that toast is some kind of treat that should be reserved for the weekend.  We are weird, what can I say?

Anyway, I had a sudden urge to have marmalade on my toast this morning and when I looked in the cupboard, there wasn't an open jar.  So I decided to open this one:

Last Christmas I had to have an operation on the 21st December, and Carlos ordered this huge Fortnum and Mason hamper for me which was delivered the day after my op.  To say I was thrilled would be an understatement.  We have eaten everything from the hamper although I dragged it out as long as I could.  I saved the champagne until my birthday in April, and the jam until late summer.  Today I found this, forgotten in the back of the cupboard: the very last treat from my hamper.  It made my day!

Finally, this morning I went to the cinema with Carlos and Amber.  I can't remember the last time we did that as I'm not too keen on watching films (I fidget too much and get bored)!  Also the cinema is usually hideously expensive.  This time, I'd seen a tip-off on Facebook that the Muppets was being shown for the Saturday morning kids showing.  It cost £3 for all three of us!  It was a great film and we all enjoyed it.  There was one line that I really loved and I want to share it with you:

"That's what growing up is.  It's becoming who you want to be."

Hopefully I'm finally growing up then, by that definition!  I'm certainly getting closer to who I want to be.
