Friday's Fave Five - 7/3/25

Susanne encourages every week to look back and find the blessings we've had and share them here.  Thanks Susanne.

Here are mine:

1) A hectic but good weekend with my eldest son and his family down from Nottingham and of course that meant we also had my daughter and her family here for a meal each day.  Thankfully we had good weather so the kids were able to get out in the garden - a lot of football was played.

Miles, Nathan, Ella and Noah

Getting them all to pose for a picture takes a lot of cajoling. Noah is holding a picture of Rory and Vinny. They miss them.

2)  

The end is in sight!  I've started to sew the border to my blanket.  Of course I found that I hadn't made enough so I've been knitting that this week.  Nearly there.

3)  A knit and natter session this week helped with getting more border knitted.  We do have a good chat and it's not always about knitting.  This week we did talk about tubular cast-ons but we also covered dying on the toilet, decomposing bodies, Australian Traitors, haunted houses, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.  And a lovely blanket that one member has made to protect her sofa from her dog!  We always have a laugh.

4)  Hubby has moved all his records and CDs into our new units so the bedrooms are looking less cluttered.  We had to ask for an additional shelf for one of the display units as he has so many CDs.  The guy dropped that off the same day I asked about it and didn't charge us any extra so we were really pleased by that.

5)  I thought I was coming down with a cold yesterday.  I woke up with a scratchy throat and definitely felt below par.  I had a very easy day and, thankfully, today, I woke up feeling fine.  I managed to get out for a walk in the sunshine and I picked up some daffodils in the supermarket.  I do love to have daffodils in the house to show that Spring is definitely coming.

Have a good weekend all.
