Friday's Fave Five is hosted by Susanne over at Living to Tell the Story.
The
idea is to step back and think about the good things from the previous
week and list your favourite five. Then pop over to Susanne's blog and
join up with the other people taking part.
Well it's been quite a tough week in some ways but all the more reason to sit back and look for the positives!
1) It's my birthday! I've survived another year phew! And look at the lovely afternoon tea that was delivered yesterday from my daughter and her family.
We managed to polish off the savouries and the scones but there was still cake left for today.
2) We saw Nathan & Rory this week and hopefully it won't be too long before we can see Noah now that restrictions are being relaxed gradually.
3) We have emptied our loft. (Apart from a few Christmas boxes/tree etc) Most of the stuff we emptied belongs to our two eldest kids. The boxes are headed to our youngest son's garage soon. They are not coming to our new house!
4) Birds at my feeding station. I spent quite a while this morning just watching them from the shade of the patio. Plus the bees on my lavender. Not a great photo and I have got a video of them fighting over the food but Blogger won't upload it!
5) My hubby. He's my rock.
Well I am just having a really lazy day today. Not going to be moving or packing any boxes. Hubby brought me breakfast in bed and now he's cooking lunch. We'll have tea and cake later and then probably go for our usual walk. Had a nice long chat with my eldest son and family earlier. He's currently got 5 stitches in his foot from a mishap yesterday involving a concrete slab but thankfully no broken bones. Just wish they were nearer to us particularly as he'll struggle to walk his greyhounds while his foot is so sore. But things could be so much worse. All my kids still have jobs, homes and food on the table as do we. We'll be celebrating a lot of birthdays properly when things are easier.
Have a good weekend all.
Happy Birthday!! Looks and sounds like you are having a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteYes our one week off from teaching is NOT enough...especially since the New York State govenor took away our spring break this year! ridiculous. The children haven't had a break since Feb. But...good news is coming....it will be in my next FFF!!!
I hope you have a wonderful day to just relax and celebrate your birthday. Good luck with the move!
I'm intrigued to know what your good news is now lol
DeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThanks John
DeleteHappy birthday, Wendy! Glad you are having a few days of celebrating!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri
DeleteHappy birthday! It sounds like a lovely time. All the goodies look scrumptious. How nice to have breakfast in bed and your husband cooking lunch! Glad you got to see two of your grandsons.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara. Yes the cakes were definitely scrumptious!
DeleteHappy Birthday to you! The afternoon tea looks so delicious and lovely. Wishing your son a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I think he's ok just a bit tricky with walking exciteable dogs!
DeleteHappy belated birthday!!! What a nice gift that afternoon tea is! Great idea I might have to use. I love watching birds at feeders. Unfortunately we can't have one because of our cat who lounges in the yard. Funny how a lot of "our" stuff is actually our kids stuff who have long moved out. Praying your son's foot heals quickly. Ouch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susanne. I have to watch the local cats don't get the birds but usually as soon as I venture out they make a run for it.
DeleteHappy Birthday (belated) on the same day as my hubby and mum.
ReplyDeleteI loved your last paragraph--we can be very thankful for jobs and food and shelter over our heads.
Oh, I'm glad your son didn't break any bones.
I hope you are having a good week!
