Well I'm trying to get back into the habit of blogging - I've been reading a lot more posts this past week and leaving a few comments here and there - I'd forgotten how time consuming it can be lol.
But this meme hosted by Susanne here is a good weekly reminder to take a breath and look for the good things from the previous week.
1) A visit from my elder son and his wife last weekend. He had managed to secure tickets for the Mens' tennis FINAL at Wimbledon!
Getting tickets for Wimbledon is a complete lottery - tennis clubs etc have one system for securing tickets. Then you can go and queue for daily entry - which involves queuing for hours (even overnight) or you can enter a ballot for tickets. If your name is selected you can then opt to purchase tickets (or not). As I understand it you will be given an option of a day and court and my son was fortunate enough to get the Mens' final slot. I have no idea how much the tickets actually cost - and they were seated in the back row but the two of them had a lovely day out.
and of course it was lovely to see them albeit briefly.
2) Tuesday we had granddaughter Ella here for a bit. Lovely having a little one in the house again now that Vinny has gone.
3) Kitchen sink fixed - we had a blocked sink recently and in trying to plunge it we ended up with leaking joints.
4) 2 for the price of 1 this week - I was booked in for a shingles vaccination on Tuesday but I was also offered a pneumonia jab as I'm now old enough. (No need to remind me of my age thank you lol) Anyway I opted to get both. I'm thankful they're done but my arms (particularly the one the shingles jab was done in) have been very sore. I'm thankful that we have the chance to get these protections free but not looking forward to having the second dose of the shingles one in a couple of months time.
5) Getting back into a normal rhythm now we have the house to ourselves although that has meant earlier starts as my body clock seems to have adjusted during the time that Michael and Vinny were here. I've also managed to get back into the habit of reading and finished 2 books this week.
And the sun is shining!
Have a good weekend all.
