It's Friday (just) so time to pause and find the good things from this week and then join up with other like minded bloggers over at Susanne's blog here.
1) A working boiler (water heater) no cold showers for us anymore. The plumbers arrived bright and early last Sunday and quickly had our old boiler out and the new boiler in. Grateful that we didn't have to wait too long for them to fit us in.
2) Time with Grandson Nathan here at the weekend. We played a game called "Pass the Panda" which is quite a simple game but it's fun and we played enough games that everyone managed to win a few. Why is it that children don't like losing? lol
3) Keep fit and a meet up with friends on Tuesday. Always good to feel active and this week I didn't spoil it by having a chocolate croissant with my cup of tea afterwards!
4) A mooch around the shops in local Walthamstow on Wednesday. It's the closest place to us with a decent amount of shops, including an indoor Mall and a street market but I'd never really had a good wander around to see what was there. I was pleasantly surprised especially when I discovered there is a Waterstones. (Book lovers will understand.) I had hoped to find a wool shop but there didn't seem to be one but I managed to get what I was looking for online.
5) On the subject of books I sorted out a lot of books for the challenge I'm doing this year but I needed some from the library. Of the 6 I reserved 2 were available for pick up today, 2 are in transit and for the remaining 2 I'm first in the queue. Hopefully I should have them all very soon, then I'll just have to make time to read them.
Have a good weekend all.
Oh and I've managed to do the Just Jot it January challenge - blogging every day in January. Again - just - there's a day missing on the blog but I'm sure I must have jotted something down that day so I'm calling it a win.
Well done on the Just Jot It challenge. I'll have to go back and read them.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have time to read all the books. I really need to carve more time into my day for reading as my TBR pile is growing. And yes, I do know Waterstones :)
I hope your weather (and mine) continue to allow us to be outside and active.
Have a good week!
I'm familiar with Waterstones. I've not ordered from there but I've visited the site. It's great that you belong to a fit group. I'm looking for something like that as well.
ReplyDeleteI need to get into my reading. I joined the Goodreads challenge of 60 books this year and already I'm 2 behind according to them.
I think I have heard of Waterstones but haven't been to one. I do miss roaming around bookstores. Yay for a new boiler! Ours went out a year ago and it took two weeks to get a new one. No fun, especially in January!
