Personal update

My dad, his wife, and my nan all came over and saw our house for the first time this month. It was really nice to show them our place. We all had lunch together and then went through their wedding photos.

That same weekend I went to that massive book warehouse and bought 14 books for £45!

I went out twice in April for various different birthday celebrations. Maybe celebrated a little too hard on one of the nights…

I did #25infive this month and actually managed to read the full 25 hours! This was split between audiobooks and normal books, but I think it all still counts.

Other than that, I didn’t do an awful lot in April. Saw family and friends and sorted out more house stuff – that’s about it!

That’s a wrap

So that’s it for this month, I hope you all had a nice April too! What were some of your highlights of this month?
