This week my Word of the Week is: Bright! #WotW

This week my Word of the Week is:

I am glad to say that last weeks happy mood has continued into this week. I have had another great week, the sun has been shining bright and all is good in my world! Even the washing basket is almost empty as I have been getting the clothes out drying on the line. I said in my Wednesday Hodgepodge post that one of the reasons that I love March is the gas and electricity bills go down and I have noticed that already with not having the heating on as much and using the tumble dryer. I did check the online energy account and think we will skip paying next month as we are so much in credit. Yay!

I feel like I have been really productive and I am thanking the sunshine! I have been waking earlier in the morning and I feel like I have more energy. I always say I don't suffer from Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) but I think the weather really does affect my mood. I am sleeping better and for the first time in a long time, this week I felt like I've had enough sleep.

I have been out and about this week, I've probably had more time outside this week than I have in the last month! I went to my dad's on Monday. He bought what he thought was a monitor for his office computer from the local auction but it turns out it's an all in one PC and monitor. He only paid a few pounds so he got himself a bargain but needed Stu to help set it up. While we were there we helped with a few other things on his computer. My dad isn't the greatest with online things but one thing even baffled me, thank goodness for a phone number to ring to get a little help.

I've spent lots of time in the garden, trying to look at the planets that were aligned last week, I only saw Venus. Hmmf. I have been standing out there with a cuppa in the morning, the garden has been tidied and I weeded the flower beds. I should have waited until Thursday to do the garden though, it felt like the warmest day of the year so far.

I do love this time of year with spring and summer ahead of us and we have been making plans. Becky is well and truly spoiling me for Mother's Day! We're going to be having a night away later in the year, just the two of us. We're just waiting for the tickets to go on sale so she can book the hotel. I was also browsing Facebook the other day and saw a camping festival later on in the summer and I thought that sounds like fun. It's not a big one like Glastonbury but there will be music, nice food and it's something tick off my 50 before 50 bucket list. We will deal with sleeping in a tent when it happens, I am not too excited at the thought of that. hehehe

I am not feeling too bright at the moment, I woke up yesterday feeling rotten, well that's not exactly right, I went to bed not feeling 100% but shrugged it off. Yesterday I woke up aching and feeling meh! I have had a cough and a bit of a snotty nose for the last week but put it down to early hay fever but no, it has turned into a big, fat horrible cold. Hmmf. Yesterday I hardly moved from my armchair and today I am not planning on doing much if I am feeling the same. 

How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay for her Word of the Week linky!
