Crikey, the last week has simply flown by, nothing exciting, just life in general. Apart from yesterday that is. We are now in a 'bubble' with DD and the GC and as GS will be 13 next Wednesday we were invited to tea yesterday. He chose pizzas for tea with salad; yummy vegetable ones at that, and then he had a surprise chocolate birthday cake which we all had a slice of. It was wonderful spending lots of time with them just talking, laughing, eating together and then playing card games and dominoes until it was time to come home. It's the most relaxed we have all been for months :)
Its been a lovely sunny day today. G has washed the car and done a bit of gardening while I spent a happy couple of hours crafting quietly and listening to the radio (although I turned it down when the news came on so as not to spoil the ambience with news of you-know-what) Lunch was a sandwich and tea will be a ready meal each so not much effort involved other than to stick them in the oven! It's now just after 4pm and we are relaxing together with the breeze wafting through the open French doors. Bliss....
How was your weekend?
Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x

My new herb pot! It was election day in the UK on Thursday and I was lucky enough to be employed for the day as Poll Clerk in my local area.... -
Gosh, has it only been a week since Easter Sunday? It somehow feels much longer. A big thank you to those who left comments on my last coup...
Lazy weekend here, no jobs to do, I can always spend time in greenhouse, just like you now, open patio doors listening to wind chimes and wild birds, much better than the radio.
ReplyDeleteSo much better Poppy, and I really fancy some wind chimes. I'll get around to buying some at some point in the near future. I fancy some musically tuned ones :)
DeleteI just read somebody on twitter "s Imy mum for the first time in 6 months. Felt like a 7 year old again - in the best way". Family reunions so precious...
ReplyDeleteThey truly are Angela. I risked a hug from our daughter and both grandchildren and they all clung on for dear life. We have missed each other so much.
DeleteThat sounds like a perfect end to a lovely week. We too have given up listening to the news. It's only ever filled with misery and suffering so why would we bother.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Cherie, as long as we are doing our bit we don't need to keep hearing all about it.
DeleteIt sounds like you e really settled into your new home and e enjoying life. Simple things like seeing family give so much joy.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful Tania. Simple pleasures indeed.
DeleteSounds wonderful, thrilled you were able to enjoy such a special time.
ReplyDeleteThank you MM :)
DeleteIt doesn't pay to keep listening to the doom and gloom all the time does it. We can all do our bit without having to depress ourselves on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well Marlene x
Sounds like you had a lovely day. Don't blame you for turning down the news. Some days are so very depressing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Sounds fantastic. I love the way you write about it. I need to wash my car, too.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful visit with family, which is really to be much appreciated and enjoyed especially now. But, why not use names or words instead of letters like G, DD,GC GS ? Itl seems confusing and unnecessary to me as I have to engage my brain harder to decipher the codes. Bloggers are by and large a very friendly group, not like some of the folks on other social media which are not
ReplyDeleteMy hubby, G, doesn't want his name published on my blog and neither does our daughter and her family so I use the widely recognised capitals like DD, especially when I'm trying to type a post on my phone. It's so very fiddly! Sorry to confuse you Beatrice...
DeleteDD meaning Dear Daughter, of course.
