It's Friday so time to look back on the week to find the good things and then share them HERE on Susanne's blog. Thanks for the weekly reminder Susanne.
1. Well firstly I'm thankful that we don't have winter weather like Susanne has - lots of snow and cold temperatures. It's been a very wet week here but temperatures have been okay. Quite chilly, but hey it's still winter and we have warm clothes, can afford to keep the heating on so we're ok.
2. YouTube! I posted earlier in the week about getting this kit at the yarn sale I went to last week.
This was beyond my crochet expertise - I've done lots of Granny Squares and lacy doilies but I've never done tapestry crochet. Thankfully I found a great tutorial on YouTube and I've made a start and it seems to be going ok so far.
3. Hubby had a follow up appointment this week for his eyes and he's been discharged from the hospital. They advised having an annual check up at his optician (who spotted the problem in the first instance) but no more visits to the hospital/clinic required.
4. Thankful that my daughter and her family are close to us so that when help is needed we can be there for them. Our DIL wasn't feeling great on Wednesday so I was able to collect Nathan and Ella from school and have them here until after they'd eaten. I'm also thankful that both my sons have good in-laws nearby too.
5. Fitting in my Just Jot it January challenge word of the day here which is "Altruism". I'm glad that I can help out at the Foodbank each week and that so many other volunteers do too. It's hard work sometime, particularly on the Thursday sessions - I get home and often just sit (might even catch a nap lol) but knowing we're helping so many people is very satisfying.
And a bonus mention for my library! One of the prompts for the reading challenge I'm doing is a book which uses "Deus ex Machina" which, for those of you like me had no clue is:
a plot device in which a seemingly unsolvable problem is abruptly solved by an unexpected and unlikely event.
Thankfully the challenge has a great guide on what the prompts mean and also a list of books which work for a particular prompt. Apparently this book works for Deus ex Machina
and it was shown as available at my library so I went and checked it out today. I can't start it yet as I have this one to finish first:
