Friday's Fave Five - 17/4/26

Time to look back on the week and find the blessings.  Susanne is our host for this and you can find her blog here.

1)  Thankful for a quiet weekend last week.  It had been quite busy here the week before with family visiting etc so it was nice just to have some down time particularly as I was fighting a cold.

2)  Thankful that the cold has now gone and I'm feeling much more my usual self and less sleep disruptions.

3)  A Knit and Natter session on Tuesday this week.  We've also changed venue to the upstairs room of the local pub.  It means we have more space and can natter over a glass of wine.

4)  A good library book club meet up on Wednesday.  We had a new member and all the regulars were there so 8 of us in total.  

5)  A fun evening last night at the Foodbank - another wine tasting and quiz evening organised by the local wine bar.  It was a sell out with 120 tickets sold.  Hopefully it will have raised a lot of money for the Foodbank.  It was a long day for me though as I was there at 9 am for the usual foodbank session until 1.30 then we had 2 of Hubby's sisters and their husbands for dinner as they joined us to make up a team for the quiz.  We didn't get home until around 11 pm.  Thankfully nothing was planned for today.

And as a bonus it's definitely spring time now - I got washing dry outside during the week!

Have a good weekend all.

  1. You have a wonderful list of blessings this week.
    I'd love the "natter and wine" part of your get together.....i love a good glass of wine..Riesling is my fave from one of the vineyards here in NYS (the Finger Lakes region which is about 3 hours southwest of where i live in eastern NYS). I also love a good Shirah (I think i spelled it correctly...a red wine that actually does not give me chest pain like most reds do).

    I had a book group meeting this week too and 5 out of 6 of us came.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend

  3. I love it when a quiet week follows a busy one. I'm glad you're feeling better. The food bank event sounds like a lot of fun.

  4. That is good you are feeling better after your cold. I started with one yesterday. Ugh! Your Knit and Natter group sounds good and the book club too. Good job on raising the money for the foodbank.
