Friday's Fave Five is hosted by Susanne at Living to Tell the Story. Each week she reminds us to look back and find the things we were grateful for during the week. It's good to be grateful. Why not join us?
1) Well firstly I am grateful for my Hubby. He had a birthday last Saturday and we celebrated by attending a fund raising evening organised by a friend of his doing what he loves best - singing and playing his guitar. He was one of several acts that performed at a nearby church and although I don't usually go to watch him play I couldn't miss out on his birthday. We'll have been married for 42 years in June. Definitely a keeper.
2) The quiz night I mentioned last week raised £3967 for the Foodbank which is amazing!
3) Spring weather. It's been sunny all week and although not that hot yet I was still able to get all my washing done and a lot of it dry on the line outside. (I still tumble dry things like underwear and t shirts to cut down on the ironing.)
4) Postal votes. We have elections for councillors next month but our postal votes came yesterday. I'm grateful not to have to get to the polling station on the day. Usually it's fine but one less hassle to deal with.
5) A good meet up for the evening book club on Wednesday. There were only 5 of us but we had a good discussion about the book and lots of other things too. We all agreed that we didn't like the book:
Hopefully the next one will be better:
And the jumper is nearly done. I just need to do a few more rows and then the decorative bottom. Oh and all the tedious sewing in of ends and seams to do. Don't hold your breath for a picture of me modelling it!
I LOVE the movie Fried Green Tomatoes... I probably should read the book! I have the DVD and have probably watched the movie at least a dozen times. So good!! Let us know how you like the book! Happy weekend! xo
ReplyDeleteI love your list of faves!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to your hubby...how fun that he performed on his birthday!
I like the color of the sweater....er...you guys call them jumpers.
I read Fried Green Tomatoes years ago! I'll have to check out more of her books.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Well done on the jumper! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project (even if you don't model it). And I agree--weaving in the ends is the most boring part.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your hubby! Singing and playing the guitar-- I didn't know this about him. :)
Almost four thousand pounds for the Foodbank-- wow! That's great!
Have a great weekend!
It sounds like your husband had a wonderful birthday and well done with raising the money for the foodbank! That is an amazing amount. I like going to the polling station to vote. Well done with the jumper, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your hubby! That is nice that you are in a book club. I read every night before bed. I am reading book too of a series. Nice that you can sew too. I mostly do craft sewing. I want to make another cover for another Bibe I have. Congratulations on raising money for the food bank!
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday to your hubby! That's neat he has an outlet like that to play at. The results of the quiz night are great! We've had nice spring weather. I don't hang things outside any more due to allergies and bugs, but I do remember how fresh the laundry smelled when dried outdoors. I'm glad we have alternatives to voting at the polls.
