Friday again and time to look back on the blessings of the week and then join up here to share with others. Susanne keeps us on track each week.
1) It's the little things:
These managed to survive going through the washing machine. Thankfully they stayed in the drum with the washing and didn't fall through into the filter. It would have driven me mad trying to find them once I noticed they were missing!
Like this toy piece:
It's part of a sorting toy that has 20 different wooden shapes. The grandkids were playing with it a week or so ago but when I tidied up this piece was missing. It took a lot searching but it finally turned up.
2) We are enjoying a nice heatwave here in the UK - temperatures have been nearly 30℃ this week and tomorrow we're set to get to 32℃. We're going to a wedding and I'd planned my outfit a few weeks ago but now I'm glad that I have an alternative dress to wear that hopefully will be a bit cooler than what I'd originally planned. It's not as dressy but we're only attending the evening reception so I think it will be ok. It's linen and red and cream so the red earrings above will work nicely! My original choice was a lined dress which I think I would melt in!
3) We had a nice meal out with my daughter and her family last Saturday (it was for Father's Day which was on Sunday). We went to the Forest Hotel which is becoming a favourite of ours. We like the atmosphere and they regularly change their menus. We also got a free glass of prosecco as it's my birthday month. One website it's been worth signing up to.
4) I'm grateful that we don't have to be too careful with money and that I can buy extras like bird food for the bird feeders. The birds are very hungry right now and as fast as I refill the feeders they seem to be emptying them but it's nice to be able to sit and watch them making the most of the food.
5) Knitting and reading time - Maisie's jumper is finished I'll post a picture once I've put the buttons on - plus I finished a couple of books. I've also signed up for a new book club the library have set up and picked up our first read today - Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.
Have a good weekend all.
Hi Wendy, sounds like you had a good week. Your dress for the wedding sounds nice. Nice that you have extra money for the birds and that your weather has been nice. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy. That book looks interesting. Your Father's Day dinner out with your daughter sounds very nice. We are having heat wave here in Utah too, but over 100 is just too hot for me. I would enjoy a nice cool down and some rain. Glad to hear that things are going well. Have a good weekend and enjoy the wedding! See you again soon!
