We have had a good week! I feel like I have found a good balance of being productive and having some lazy moments. Today I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea to share the things that I have loved over this past week.
Milkshake!
I am not a big milk drinker but over the past week I have been drinking a lot of the white stuff in milkshake form, using Strawberry Crusha syrup! I did feel bad for drinking it to start with as when I was a child it was full of sugar and other nasties but now there's no added sugar or artificial colours or flavours! Bonus!
Cooler weather and rain!
It was red hot here towards the end of last week but by Sunday it had cooled down a lot and I was so happy! We managed to get some weeding done and the grass cut before the rain came and it was glorious! Just what the garden needed! The warmer weather hasn't gone though, if the forecast is correct we should be starting another mini heatwave now.
Steak & Onion baguette with fries and salad!
Finding new blogs to read!
Over the past couple of weeks I have found some blogs that I've added to my Feedly reading list, the list I go through each day reading the new blog posts that have been published from people that I follow. I found them through The Wednesday Hodgepodge and this linky! I love reading about other people's lives, finding new recipes to try and of course connecting with new people! Blogging really is a fantastic hobby!
Moving the furniture around!
I love moving the furniture around in the living room, I do it a couple of times a year. We don't have many options with the fireplace being down one wall but I've moved my armchair, Ellie's computer and a few other little things. While the furniture was out I gave everywhere a deep clean. It was like having a whole new living room.
Discovering an old hobby!
While I was having a tidy in the living room I tackled some drawers which had a load of random things in and came across a Cross Stitch set which I had started but came nowhere near to finishing. That will be my project for the summer! A few years ago I would sit outisde and cross stitch and really enjoyed it, I think it's time to take up that hobby again.
Pink nails!
Sandals!
Monday was the day that I slipped on my sandals for the first time this year only to discover they don't fit. Hmmf. They weren't too small, they were too big. My feet seemed to have shrank over the colder months but I remember last summer I bought a pair off Shein and they were a tad too small for me so my youngest claimed them, it was time to claim them back. They fit like a glove and were even comfier than my old one's! I can see them being worn a lot over the summer!
Squid Game!
There are new episodes being released today and I am very excited! What makes it even more fun is that my youngest started watching a week or so ago. She has never seen any of it apart from little clips on social media so it's all new to her. She's heard myself and her sister talking about it and in the first season knew one of the players wasn't who they said they were so it has been fun seeing her work her way through it and finding out all of her guessing was completely wrong. hehehe
What have you loved over the past week?
