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

This week my Word of the Week is:

It has been a real family week and I have enjoyed it! The girls are older now and when they are not working or at college they tend to do their own thing with their people so for them to take some time out and spend time together as a family has been lovely.

The girls spent Saturday with Stu, taking him to the cinema and to play pool as an early Father's Day treat. They all had a fantastic time and we ended the day all on our laptops and computers separately but playing online games together.

It was of course Father's Day on Sunday and the girls were up early, well earlier than they usually are on a Sunday. We had a nice day together not really doing much but just being together made me feel content. Stu was so happy with the gifts that the girls got him. A couple of Funko Pops, a framed print, some chilli sauces and a Newtons Cradle which has been driving me insane all week. It is on his desk and when any of my family walk past it they set the balls off swinging. The clanking is so annoying! He set up the old Wii and him and Ellie played the Mario games together. We got a takeaway for tea, Burger King which was a real treat as it's a couple of years since we last had a Whopper. The only time we seem to get Burger King is when we are in Newcastle as there is one in the train station.

Stu and I had more time together on Monday, we went out for a pub lunch. 30% off is fantastic when it's just the two of us. Three courses came to just under £30 which I think is decently priced as everything is freshly cooked and tastes amazing. We spent some time sat outside in the beer garden and it really didn't feel like a normal Monday at all, if anything it felt more like a bank holiday Monday with music playing and the sun shining, OK maybe not a bank holiday, we usually get rain on those Monday's. lol

Ellie went to college on Tuesday only to be told there was no more work to do so she hung out with her friends. They are all planning on spending more days together during the summer holidays which she is looking forward to. They have some exciting things happening which I am so jealous of but I am hoping this will be the best summer for her as it's her last one while in education, there'll be no more long summer breaks for her!

It seems like the rest of the week I have either had Ellie or Becky at home with me. Some weeks I feel like I hardly see them but this week has been good having some one on one time with them and yesterday we were all together! We were going to to and see my dad but the thought of walking there in the heat put us off.

I hope you are all managing OK in the heat? I have been staying inside, my days of sunbathing are over and I hate being sweaty. It's times like this I wish air conditioning was a big thing here in the UK. I have seen various people on social media from places like Florida and Texas who are visiting the UK and they have said our heat is different from theirs back home.

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!
