Susanne reminds us each week to look back and find the things we're grateful for and then we link up here.
Well at least that's the plan but I haven't managed to get here for 5 weeks! So lots to look back on and be grateful for.
1) A few nights away with 3 of my cousins and all our husbands so 8 of us in total. This was the week before last and we went to the Forest of Dean which is near Gloucester bordering on Wales. We had a lovely time. We don't see each other very often but when we do we just pick up where we left off.
2) I'm thankful that my grandkids Nathan and Ella are now settling in to a new school together which is a state school so their parents will no longer have the financial burden of school fees. Financially and logistically this should be a good move.
3) I'm thankful that I finally seem to be getting over whatever virus I had last week - it had me coughing and feeling really low. I even did a Covid test which was negative.
4) A few nights better sleep. Last week I couldn't sleep in my bed - as soon as I laid down I'd start coughing so I ended up trying to sleep on our reclining sofa. It's reasonably comfortable but I didn't sleep well at all. I think the tiredness contributed to me feeling so unwell.
5) A nice visit to one of my SILs today. The weather was warm and sunny so we were able to sit out in her garden. And I got lots of washing dry. I put up the autumn picture though as the leaves are already dropping.
Well there we are, short and sweet but I've really not felt like doing much at all this past week or so. I did manage to finish a jigsaw puzzle but was very cross to find it had not 1 but 4 pieces missing. It was a charity shop buy so can't really complain. Can't expect them to check all 1000 pieces are there!
Have a good weekend all.
