Thanks as always to our host Susanne over at Living to tell the Story for reminding us on Fridays to take time to find the good things from the week.
Here are mine:
1) New windows. We had all our rear windows replaced this week. They were quite old and several of them the seals had gone and there was condensation between the double glazing. They also were a less secure design. Now we have lovely new ones and that's one big job done.
2) Online shopping! Although restrictions are easing I'm still not rushing out to the shops so this week I've done quite a lot of shopping online - we've gained a cot and a toddler bed ready for when our son comes to stay so I needed bedding for those. We also need to replace our main shower so that arrived today and the plumber is booked for next Tuesday. I also bought a cheap buggy to use with the grandkids.
3) Curtains in our bedroom. I bought them a while ago but hadn't got around to gathering the tops and hanging them. Well now they are done and they make the room so much darker at night which helps with sleeping.
4) Celebrating our daughter's birthday yesterday. We joined them for a Thai takeaway which we all enjoyed. We hadn't had Thai food for ages - pre-Covid!
And there was cake!
5) We also got to do bedtime with Nathan.
Have a good weekend all.
Lovely week for you. Yes, grandkids are the best. So glad things are opening up a bit more over there. Here is the U.S. we don't have to wear masks any more if we are fully vaccinated. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb. Masks are still being recommended here on public transport and in shops but as from tomorrow we can have visitors inside our homes.
DeleteWhat great photos and that birthday cake looks AMAZING! Those kiddos are so lucky to have you for their grandma! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri. The cake tasted pretty good too!
DeleteYay for things opening up for you all! And how fun to spend time with your daughter and grands.
ReplyDeleteNew windows: that's on our list for things to do this autumn.....we need to replace all the front windows of our house which thankfully are only 5. (2 in living room, 3 in master bedroom). I would also like to replace the kitchen window on the back of the house but....$$$.
Have a great weekend!!
Thanks Faith. Yes replacing the windows is an expensive job but it was necessary.
DeleteYay for the new windows! (I really hope we don't need to do that for awhile!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your daughter. Chocolate cakes and Thai dinner are a great way to celebrate. I'm glad you are able to do that in person.
And yes, grandchildren are the best!
Thank you. Yes the food and cake were delicious.
DeleteSuch a great week for you! That cake looks wonderful. I've seen them on Pinterest and would love to learn how to make one.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm not sure how you stop the sweets inside from melting lol
DeleteWhat a nice week! It's nice to have a big job like the windows done, and have them all nice and new and in good working order. I'm not ready to go full-fledged into shopping in person, either. I'm glad we have online options. That cake looks so good! Nice to have the new curtains up. Time with grandkids is a big fave.
