Hello Sunday! I hope you are all staying safe in the storm which is supposed to hit today. It was grey and wet here yesterday so we stayed home and had a quiet day. I started watching the Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story off Netflix and will most probably be finished it by today. It got me well and truly hooked. It was shocking to watch and from reading about the brothers online I don't think they should still be in prison now.
We have had a good week, just plodding on with life. Half term has started now so Ellie has a break from college which is very welcome! This half term from September to October always seems like a long slog so we're looking forward to a few lazy mornings. We don't have much planned for the week but I am sure we will find some fun things to do.
Now for a photo every day!!

A lazy Sunday playing The Sims and drinking coffee.

Ellie in what I call her I call this her Freddy Krueger dress. Perfect for this time of year, a bit Halloweeny and it's also quite warm.

I can't just have one of Mr Kipling's French Fancies, it always has to be two and not the lemon one. Yuck!

Becky was all ready for work but despite her smiles was not happy about going. She was just getting over a cold and had eaten a big meal so was feeling rather lazy. She was fine when she got to work though.

After the internet went off on Wednesday evening I have been reading in bed since. I only manage a few pages a night before my eyes get tired. It's a good thing, I could lay for hours and scroll through TikTok and lose track of time. Books and better than phones at bedtime.

A Friday night treat! Mini rum truffle cakes. They were from Asda and were only £1 for a little carton of them.

My laptop said rain was coming which did make me chuckle, it needed to catch up a bit. The rain was here and had been on and off for most of the morning.
This half term is long, but we've got another week. So weird that pretty much everyone else is either off this week, or has 2 weeks off apart from us (that we know anyway). I love those french fancies. They were what my mum would buy (along with Almond slices or battenburg) when we had visitors for tea when we were kids.
ReplyDeleteThe storm's definitely here too. So windy - not many apples left on the trees now.
"Why Mummy Swears"! Sounds like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you are reading before bedtime, it's so much better than watching things on your laptop or phone.
ReplyDeleteHI Kim! Vising from #MMBC! It was fun to see your photo project, have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Half term. Those truffle cakes look good! #MMBC
ReplyDeleteI started watching Monsters but lost interest, I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and this case has been covered so many times before. I do think they have served enough time now though.
ReplyDeleteRum truffle cakes are a blast from the past, I've not had those in years I must add some to the list for this weeks shopping. Enjoy the half-term. #MMBC
I like Ellie’s dress. Lemon fondant fancies are my favourite ones! It’s nice to read in bed and your book looks interesting – I’ve added it to my Kindle after reading the excerpt on your photo. It’s funny when the weather alerts on the laptop don’t quite match with the weather. #project365
ReplyDeleteI love to read before bed, but Peter prefers the telly on and I just can't concentrate. I do love a good French fancy, but I've not been able to find any gluten free ones. My grandson loves them also
