Friday's Fave Five & #JusJoJan22 - 21st January

Combining two posts again here today - Friday's Fave Five is hosted by Susanne at Living to tell the Story and this is where like minded bloggers come together each Friday and share what we've been grateful for over the previous week.

Just Jot it January is a challenge to jot something down everyday during January.  Full details can be found here.  There are also prompts that can be used and today's prompt is "Mission".

1.  Yesterday I was on a mission to get a few things organised.  I needed to book a service for our boiler, find an electrician to look at a couple of jobs for us and also to set the ball rolling with getting some decorating done.  I managed to do all of that so I'm grateful that I didn't let my motivation disappear before everything was done.

2.  Grateful for dry weather.  It's been chilly this week but dry, in fact some days we had some lovely sunshine.  Definitely improves my mood.

3.  A phone catch up with my best friend and a video call with 3 or my cousins.  It's been hard not being able to see people in the same way during the pandemic but technology has definitely helped to bridge gaps.

4.  A lovely day with Vinny here on Wednesday.  He is such a happy little boy and very easy to entertain as long as you realise that when he goes to the high chair he needs feeding!  He does this regularly throughout the day - morning snack, lunch time, afternoon snack and, because he ended up being here later than usual this week, he was also looking for his dinner.  He had to make do with another snack as his dinner was going to be waiting for him when we got him home.

5.  Stamina.  It's been a busy week - helping out at my daughter's new house so that it will be ready for them to move in next weekend, helping out at their old house so that it's ready to hand back to the landlords, babysitting Vinny and fitting in some walks.  I definitely think the more you try and do the easier it gets and the less you do the less you want to do.  I'm grateful that I've had a week of doing more and feeling good about it all, even if I am now very tired! 

And I didn't take any decent pictures to add to this blog.  I did try to post a video of Vinny laughing but Blogger wouldn't play ball.

Hope you all have a good weekend.  We'll be helping my daughter and DIL again.  There's still lots to do but for a bonus item, I'm grateful they now have their own home to move into and no more landlords to worry about, although to be fair they have been lucky with the landlords they've had.
