February 2020 in Review

Bringing back another old 'series' from the Underland to Wonderland blog days, I want to share a look back at each month with a calendar view of our daily photos. This is a chance for me to review the previous month, choose my favorite images from the month, think about moments I enjoyed and talk about what I was most thankful for. I also want to link any other blogs posts that are published within that month from both this blog and Mr H and I's book blog!

5 Favorite Photos

Day 36 - February 5th
Day 39 - February 8th

Day 53 - February 22nd
Day 58 - February 27th
Day 60 - February 29th

5 Thankful Moments
🖤 A month full of DIY & home personalization.
🖤 So many more vegan options everywhere.
🖤 Spending quality time with the best mate - twice!
🖤 Reuniting Nana and Granda and saying bye to Nana officially.
🖤 Managing to squeeze in 2 date dates
(despite the insanity that has been J's work schedule).

Among the pigeons and magpies that usually frequent our garden, the smaller garden birds have been getting more confident,
straying from the little bushes and coming right to the main feeder!

The first of my Dino coins arrived!

Mars caught black-footed with cheeks full of food from his interactive toy.

Last night while playing, Bakers tooth got caught and snapped Mr H's ring where it had been resized. ☹
So today I went to buy a replacement and was able to get the exact same ring again. The lady said they won't be getting them in again and it was the last one.
So glad to have been able to get it!

1st March 2020
Using our Roar! bath bomb treat from Lush. I went and stocked up on a couple of bits and had a really lovely chat with the girl at the till.
That's rare for me because my anxiety doesn't like talking to anyone outside of my immediate family/pets to be honest haha.
We chatted about pets, all ours with their godly names and that her partner is named Odin!
She was so lovely and that interaction made my day.

2nd March 2020
5 birds in 1 photo, two of which are Song Thrush! There were 3 of them total, more than I've ever seen in one go.
It's a good sign for their species! On top of that I also spotted multiple Water Pipits (my first time seeing any), coal tits, blue tits and a Robin!

3rd March 2020
The lighter mornings are coming now and it's getting to the point where the sunrise beats me by the time I get home from dropping Mr H at work.
Caught this colourful display this morning though. Happy World Wildlife Day 🐦

Mr Noobie is on a bit of a diet because he's gotten some rolls, so he's extra interested whenever I enter the room lately.
I do my pet rounds multiple times a day and this little face just got me today.

Pizza Hut treat with the Husband.

21st February 2020
Getting lots of housework and reading done on these long lonely days.

How have we lived here for 8 months and only just realized that there is a hidden nature reserve 5 minutes drive away..?

24th February 2020
No, snow, no!

More DIYs, making a pin board that matches the one in the reptile room for our furry bubbas.

J decorated the Reptile Room today! Bye orange wall! Hello jungle green!
I didn't want another photo of paint so instead here's a shot of the little board I put together with our current reptile inhabitants on.
I'll hopefully share n image of the completed room in a month or two!

13th February 2020
Today's sunrise matched the sky in the Phantom Manor print in our toilet pretty well.

14th February 2020
I've lost count of the amount of times I've driven over that bridge in the last year or so.
This isn't a view I usually get of it.

15th February 2020
It's been 15 years since making curtains was part of my day job.
Nothing like these ones though. Running up a 'quick', rustic, hand sewn curtain for the Reptile Room makeover.

16th February 2020
Feeling a bit blue lately and not even a couple spoons of vegan B&Js could help.

17th February 2020
We finally got to reunite Nana and Granda today. Together again, at rest finally.

18th February 2020
I just posted a 'Back Through the Lens' post on the blog with a photo from 2013 of a Thrush and said how I wished I saw them more...
then today this beauty was right across from our house.

Nothing like a gumtree bargain. Also find it hilarious that they prefer a cheap second hand buy,
 empty boxes and reusable shoppers than actual toys and beds we buy for them!

6th February 2020

The council actually did something worthwhile and planted 5 new trees out back from us.
There's always been a lot of birds by our house, considering the location, but hopefully this will only bring more.

7th February 2020
We're slowly but surely making our way through the rooms of the house and getting the crazy colours transformed into more 'us' colours.
Like who has a green toilet?! We love the colour green, but not for bathrooms...!

8th February 2020
Mam and I went into Gateshead to see the Knife Angel in person while it visits The Sage during it's tour.
It is made of over 100,000 seized blades to raise awareness of knife crime in the UK.

More DIY. Just a heads up though from future owners of your property - please do not just keep painting layers of gloss on top of each other.
This window sill, at this stage had paint stripper applied and scraped 5 times...it still needs done again!

10th February 2020
took the bird feeder stand out of the garden in preparation for the apparent 'Storm Ciara'.
Anyway, the birds had all been looking for their breakfast so I had to just throw a load of seed all over the garden for them!

11th February 2020
We went to see Dolittle tonight with our Vodafone 2 for £7 tickets!
Apart from being stuck in a tiny screen where ever single person had decided to fill the back 2 rows,
 bringing full on picnics and being noisy, ants in their pants, germ spreading 'animals' that caused me to have an anxiety attack and
have to climb over seats to get some space...it was a good movie!
