Well it's still Friday - just so time to list the blessings of the week and then link up here. Thank you to Susanne who reminds us every week to do this and hosts the link up.
It's been a busy week as it's been half-term break here in the UK.
1) On Monday I had Granddaughter Ella here. I'm thankful that she's now able to play more structured games and she's also less likely to mix all the playdoh up into a mess of colours. Although she did make me laugh on Monday as she asked me how to make green. I explained that you needed blue and yellow so she asked if she could make "just a little bit of green from the blue and yellow playdoh" How could I refuse? She actually did take just a tiny piece from each and made a blob of green.
2) Tuesday it was Grandson Nathan's turn to be here and I'm thankful that we had a dry enough spell for Hubby to play a bit of football with him out in the garden. He does love to get outside and let off steam sometimes.
3) I'm grateful for online shopping and supermarkets that stay open late this week. I'd ordered an online shop with most of the ingredients I needed for a meal I was planning to cook but of course there were things I'd forgotten but I was able to pop down to Tesco late yesterday evening so that I had everything ready for this morning.
4) Ladies lunch today - with 3 of my former work colleagues. It was my turn to host. I had a pack of Chinese style starters - prawn toast, spring rolls etc in the freezer so we had those for starters. The main course was a potato, spinach and mushroom bake with a lovely cheese sauce which I did with a green salad and fresh bread. For dessert I'd made a chocolate and raspberry trifle. Of course I forgot to take pictures at the right time but as you can see the main course went down really well and everyone liked the trifle - which Hubby and I will be eating for days to come - I always make too much food!
5) I'm thankful that thanks to us both having good pensions I don't need to worry about money and can cook meals like this without having to worry about the costs involved.
Have a good weekend all.
