What I have loved this week! Week 32. #FridayFavourites

I have had a really quiet week, I've hardly left the house for no reason apart from I've had nowhere to really go and my family have all been busy doing their own thing. It hasn't been a bad thing, it has been nice to stay home and just potter around. I am of course linking up with Erika and Andrea to share the things that I have loved over this past week.

Another job interview for my youngest!

We've decided jobs are like buses, nothing for ages and then two come along at once. lol A few weeks ago I mentioned how my youngest Ellie was struggling to get a part time job to work around college, she's been applying for everything suitable since. She has had the interview for the volunteer role at a charity and it went well and this week she had a phone call inviting her for an interview for paid work. It is a no brainer that she is going to go for the paid work if the job is offered. She of course feels bad if she has to turn down the volunteer position but like she said kindness doesn't pay the bills. Of course at the moment she has no bills to pay but she has a life to pay for. Hanging out with friends, make up, clothes, trips to the cinema and all those teenage things. It is a very exciting time for my girl.

A power cut!

The power going off wasn't a favourite but we had a fun time when it was off. Ellie went through all of her clothes in her bedroom and sorted them out, I did the same too and even paired a basket full of socks we usually just rummage though to find a pair. My fella had a tidy in the garage and we just had lots of giggles and fun. Ellie started hinting that if the power was still off at tea time we should get a takeaway or even go to the pub for tea. She didn't think that one through, the local takeaways and pub had no power either. Thankfully it was only off a couple of hours, we were lucky.

Flowers!

All the rain we had over the weekend really brought out the flowers in my garden! There is so much colour now and of course weeds, I have just about given up weeding, I think if I had pulled some last week they might have actually have been the flowers which bloomed this week so now I am not taking the risk. lol

Mooching around a car boot sale.

There was one locally. People set up their tables to sell their second hand goods and we had a good rummage. I love seeing what people are selling. One man's junk is another man's treasure as they say and I was quite good and didn't buy everything that I wanted to. There was a stall selling crystals and jewellery and my youngest wanted quite a few things so I am hoping they are back next time and I can pick a few up for her birthday as a surprise.

Lots of Wrestling!

Four evenings on the trot I watched the WWE. I always watch the shows the day after they are shown as they usually start so late with the time difference between the US and England. For me this week has gone Saturday Smackdown, Sunday Summerslam, Monday Summerslam and then Tuesday Raw. There was an 11pm start on Saturday night so I watched the first match before dragging myself away and then on Sunday night I went to bed before 11pm just so I wouldn't stay up and end up watching it all until the early hours of the morning. I have no self control. lol

A picked cucumber!

My cucumber that was growing in the garden practically tripled in size over the last few weeks and I was starting to panic that it might go bad out there. I Googled when cucumbers are good to pick and it looked good so I picked it, gave it a wash and sliced it! It was fantastic and we had salad that night so of course I added some to that.

Wednesday!

While attending Nevermore Academy, Wednesday Addams attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago. The second season is now on Netflix. I do love the show. I love Steve Buscemi in it as the new principal, was surprised with Billie Pipers American accent and I was also surprised to see Joanna Lumley in it. I finished the episodes and now have to wait until next month for the rest. Hmmf.

A taste of Autumn.

We are in the middle of summer but we have had a couple of grey and damp days and they felt very Autumnal. I almost thought about lighting one of my Pumpkin Spice scented candles. I have noticed it getting darker earlier on an evening and Ellie tells me they have started stocking all things Autumn in a couple of shops which we like. We are going to go to town next week and have a look and see what there is.
